Library HoursPosted Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:25 by Computers & Website
Open hours could reduce dramatically if the State reduces Library support when it passes the budget. Please write to your Legislator and request level funding for Libraries. Address labels are available at the Adult Circulation desk.
Teen Summer Reading ClubPosted Wed, 17 Jun 2009 15:35 by Computers & Website
Once again it is time for young adult summer reading contests. This year, we ask you to try something new. Teens reading from varying genres will be entered for the grand prize drawing. Tally your pages along the way for other prizes. This year we are trying to beat last year's total number of pages read by 10%. If this happens, there will be a special celebration for all participants. There will also be a special discussion group for three selected stories during the summer lead by our summer intern Shane. These will be held each Saturday during summer reading between 3:00 and 4:30 PM here at the library. Summer reading details will also help with future collection development, so tell us what you think of the books on the bookmarks you turn in. Hope to see you at the library this summer so you can EXPRESS YOURSELVES! For more details contact Barb or Mary Edna at the library.
