Did You Know… that the members of the Atlantic Public Library saved $1,348,428.02 by checking out 91,646 library items from July 1st, 2009 to June 30th, 2010? That’s a lot of green!
Behind My Desk… A couple weeks ago we trimmed the big oak tree on the east side of the library. It’s needed it for a long time; and now, you can actually see the library when you drive by on Poplar Street! We had a few people worried that we would be cutting the tree down. The board discussed that option, but truly wanted the tree to remain. I hope the trimming will help us with some of our roof problems, too. Drains and downspouts get plugged up and that can create a mess. It was a little tricky trying to maneuver that big cherry picker close enough to do the job!
I’ve been working on the new Tween/Teen page for the library website. I mentioned last time that there are some really good sites for teens, and I decided to use some of the links from the Jefferson County, Colorado Public Library (Denver area). Whoever worked on their site did a wonderful job of finding interesting and useful links for young people. I decided not to reinvent the wheel (especially when they had an engine and chassis, as well!). Our Tween page has been a long time in coming to reality.
This summer I purchased new software to create websites. I’ve been using Microsoft’s Front Page for a number of years, and feel fairly familiar with its workings. Microsoft decided several years ago to discontinue that software. Lots of new ideas and ways of creating things on websites have happened, and I felt I needed to stay current. I have it installed, but I just haven’t been able to change over to the new software.
The Cass County Genealogical Society will be having their monthly meeting at the public library at a different time on Thursday, August 26th. It will be at 1 p.m. There will be a video showing of “Atlantic,” and they are inviting the public to join them!
Can it be time for the State Fair??? …Keep Thinking Libraries!
