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…

Keep Thinking Libraries!
