Did You Know…

For FY 2013 Atlantic Public Library patrons saved $1,170,996.08 by checking materials out from the library instead of purchasing them?

Behind My Desk…

On Tuesday, August 6 at 2:30, Iowa DOT Librarian Leighton Christiansen will be at the library presenting, “A Journey in Transportation: The Iowa DOT Centennial and Iowa Transportation History Highlights”.  Iowa is home to transportation by highway, water, air, public transit, rail, and trail, much of it built, maintained, or overseen by the Iowa Department of Transportation.  This year the DOT is celebrating 100 years of connecting the people of Iowa to each other and the world.  I know I’ve said it before but I have heard nothing but rave reviews from other librarians who have had Mr. Christiansen present at their libraries.  So if you have an interest in the history of transportation in Iowa and Cass County, you won’t want to miss this presentation! 

I hope you were able to join us for the return of the Dome Theater on July 17^th.  It was a lot of fun and we had more than 175 people attend!  I particularly enjoyed the Night of the Titanic and heard good things about the other programs as well.  Thanks again to the Friends of the Library for sponsoring this event. 

The summer reading program is winding down but there are still some fun events planned:  It’s Jawsome and Fontanelle Forest – Raptors Live to name two.  Be sure to check the schedule above for dates and times.  And just a reminder that all reading logs must be turned in by Wednesday, July 31 to be eligible for prizes.

I saw my first back-to-school commercial this week.  I always hated to see those when I was a student!  So be sure to enjoy these final days of summer and…Keep Thinking Libraries!
