LIBRARY NEWS FOR JULY
Greeting from the library. We have a lot of activities occurring at the library this summer. We also have some exciting updates to our webpage. The flowers in the courtyard are blooming and the area has become a relaxing place to sit and enjoy a good book or a free wifi connection! Many thanks to all of the volunteer and staff members who keep the courtyard looking fantastic
The Summer Reading Program is underway. We have over 500 children registered and more than 100 teens and adults enrolled. The program will continue through August 8.The theme for this summer is Be Creative @ Your Library. Each week there is a specific theme that applies to the overall theme and each week there will be crafts, storytime, weekly prizes, and other presentations.
Remaining special programs for children this summer include: Quilting, Knitting, Magician, Scrapbooking and Card making. We also still have an art show and a talent contest to look forward to. If you are a budding artist or performer, please call Ms. Emily or Ms. Jenn and talk to them about auditioning or displaying a project.
On August 13 there will be computer classes for teens and adults. The three sessions available will be at 10:00 a.m., 12:00 and 2:00 p.m. This summer we will be learning all about E-Bay, Blogging and Face Book. Please call the library to sign up in advance.
The Library is still displaying items in our cabinet. If you have a display of a special collection you would like to share with the community, please call Board President Pat Groff at 762-2646
Some recent additions to our website include Mango Languages. This link will take you to online courses for many languages including Japanese, Greek, Russian, Spanish and many more. We also have a link to Heritage Quest online which will give you information on ancestors and genealogy. You can also check out book reviews from book page and read our latest library blog. You can also check out local and nation newspapers from Newsbank. This is a temporary link to see if our patrons like browsing newspapers online. Let us know what you think.
