Behind My Desk…

My week started with a mysterious leak in the ceiling of the Children’s Library.  Interestingly, it had nothing to do with all the rain.  And thankfully, it was nothing major.  Just a sweaty pipe in need of some insulation.  Who knew I would learn so much about building maintenance from working in a library?!

The Friends of the Library Book Sale is this week, Friday, April 19^th and Saturday, April 20^th.  I know I mentioned it in my last column but there are a LOT of books and I know the Friends would like to sell as many as possible so please come out!  Prices are in the quarter to fifty cent range, which really can’t be beat.

The money raised from the sale is given back to the library which allows us to provide services and complete special projects we might not otherwise be able to do.  It’s a wonderful group of volunteers and if you are interested in helping out the library  or meeting new people, I would encourage you to join.  Annual dues are just $10.00.  You can find the membership form on our website.  From the home page, click on “About Us”, and then “Join Friends of the Atlantic Library”.

The Cass County Genealogical Society also asked me to mention their upcoming program.  Dennis Sasse, a member of the Sons of the Union Army, will do a presentation at 1:00 at their April 25^th meeting here at the library.  The public is encouraged to attend.

I know it’s been cloudy recently, but keep looking for sunshine and … Keep Thinking Libraries!
