Monday, Jan. 26 “Book Some Time Together!” Family reading night sponsored by all six public libraries in Cass County!
Did You Know… you can now check your own library account from your home Internet connection? You can find out what books you have on reserve, make reserves, and check to see when your library books are due! You will need to know your library patron number to access your information. Just stop by either checkout desk and request that number for you! The library website is http://www.atlantic.lib.ia.us/ and on the upper left hand corner of the homepage is a yellow box to search the library catalog and account information.
Behind My Desk… Monday, January 26, will be the Cass Co. Library Association of Iowa’s Family Fun Night “Book Some Time Together.” There is no right or wrong to this program. The six public libraries in Cass County are just asking people to take a little time together to enjoy each other’s company. Read a book. Play a game. Have dinner together!
I’ve continued to work on the Library’s website. You may have noticed that we now have a Library Events Calendar. If you get the chance, take a look at it. I’m hoping this will help people find out what’s going on at the library. I have included scheduled meetings for our meeting rooms, as well as library programs and a little information about some of those programs. I decided it wouldn’t hurt to mention what our library hours are and what holidays we are closed.
The Children’s page is up and going, too! We have included a listing of programs, a link to TumbleBooks, a collection of “kid friendly” websites, and eventually, we will have a link that will show new books for the children’s section of the library. I plan to work on a new page for our “Tweens” and also have one for the Adults! I’m not sure how soon that will happen, but I plan to.
I also would like to mention to check our display case in the entry way. Margo Magill has graciously offered to show her Blue Snow Village collection!
That’s about it for this time. Remember, “Book Some Time Together”, and…
Keep Thinking Libraries!

Monday, Jan. 26 “Book Some Time Together!” Family reading night sponsored by all six public libraries in Cass County!
Did You Know… the Atlantic Public Library is partnering with Cass County Naturalist Lora Schwendinger to host a class on Snowshoeing? Join us Wednesday, February 11 at 6 p.m. here at the library!
Behind My Desk… A new year and a time to start fresh. That’s what I have been doing lately with our webpage design. I like to see what other libraries are doing and checked out Shenandoah’s website. Oh, I did like the look of it! As is my nature, I was immediately jealous. Out with the old! Bring in the new! I decided to totally revamp the Atlantic Public Library website. Well, as some of you may have found out recently, I made changes, all right. I managed to really mess up the structure of the site. With a little help from some people and my own stubbornness, it has finally come together. I wasn’t sure for a while, though!
Please, please, please note that we have a new online subscription to TumbleBooks! The Friends of the Atlantic Public Library generously donated some money to purchase this service for a year. All you have to do is click on the link to TumbleBooks and enjoy children’s books on line with audio! I think young ones will enjoy this. Give it a try!
Don’t forget about our Adult Winter Reading Program which has started—“Go Anywhere with a Book!” Try playing BINGO by reading books with different settings. If you would like to find some new authors or try a different genre/type of book, this is a fun way to experiment!
Also, the Cass County Library Association of Iowa is sponsoring our first annual (we hope!) family fun night: “Book Some Time Together” on Monday, January 26! Take some time off from the television and computer and do something fun with the family at home. We hope maybe we can start a “tradition” with some families that will be wonderful memories for later. Nothing is written in stone and there are no rules to worry about. If you want to, take some pictures and send us a copy! We would love that! Need some ideas? Stop by any of the Cass County public libraries and pick up some information!
