Did You Know…

the Atlantic Public Library subscribes to BookPage and you can pick up a free copy in the upstairs entrance area each month?  BookPage is a monthly book review publication whose goal is to “recommend the best books for readers of all types”.  I know I look forward to looking through it every month!

Behind My Desk…

The Friends of the Library had their semi-annual used book sale last weekend.  A huge thank you goes out to them!  There are always so many books donated for these sales that it takes a good two days to get everything set up and the books organized.  It’s a major undertaking and the Friends do a wonderful job.  Thanks to them again as well as everyone who bought books.  The money raised will be re-invested in the library and it is greatly appreciated.

Depending on when this is printed, the library is or was closed on Saturday, November 9 to install additional insulation in the attic of the original Carnegie library building.  The city conducted an energy audit of city buildings last year and this was one recommendation included in the report.  As we plan to be in this building for years to come, the board and I felt it would be a good investment to further insulate the attic making the whole building more energy efficient.

From what I hear we’re having a party, a Turkey Day Party, Wednesday, November 20 from 2:00-4:00 for those in K-3rd grades!  Sign up is required so please call 243-5466 to sign-up or if you need more information.

And finally, thank you to all our veterans for their service to our country.

Keep thinking libraries!
