Did You
Know…
If you have library materials on reserve, but
will be out of town on summer vacation or otherwise unable to receive reserved
items, you can defer them? Just log into the card catalog using your library
card number and phone number and select the dates you will be gone. Your reservation will be deferred until you
are available.
Behind My
Desk…
Fans of Young Adult (YA) fiction won’t have to
dig through the regular fiction section to find titles anymore. The YA books have been moved to their very
own section. They can now be found on
the shelves where the Iowa books were and beneath the new books shelf. Be sure to check it out!
We had great attendance for the Grout Museum’s
science demonstration. There were 112
attendees, to be exact. The kids had a
lot of fun learning about electricity and were eager to volunteer to experience
a small electric shock! They were also
introduced to a tarantula and hissing cockroaches. They were very excited about it. Me? Not so much. I was happy to keep my distance! There was only one tarantula and I definitely
saw it put back in its container. I’m
less certain about the cockroaches. There
were a lot more of them and I’m hoping none got away!
The fun will continue this coming Wednesday,
June 26 at 11:00 as the Blank Park Zoo pays the library a visit to present
their Dino Clues program. Real live
animals will be here! All ages are
welcome. Please join us!
Also, a note about the Genealogical
Society. They are no longer keeping set
hours. If you show up and no one is
there, phone numbers are listed on the door for some of the volunteers who
would be happy to take your call!
It’s hard to believe July is almost here! Where did June go? Though it’s a little early, have a wonderful
and safe Fourth of July holiday and…
