Behind My Desk…

Another Summer Reading Program has come to an end and I think it was a tremendous success!  We had wonderful attendance at all the programs and great participation in the reading program.  Many prizes were handed out.  I’ll have the names of the grand prize winners in my next column.  My thanks goes out to all the volunteers and staff who helped out and an especially big thanks goes to Julie for all the time and effort she puts in to pulling it all together! 

Fall Story Time will start up again on September 16th.  This year’s story time will be held on Mondays and Tuesdays from 10:00-11:00.  Check for dates above in the Upcoming Events section. 

Also, I will extend one final invitation to join us on Tuesday, August 6, at 2:30 as Iowa DOT librarian Leighton Christensen presents his program entitled: “A Journey in Transportation: The Iowa Department of Transportation Centennial and Iowa Transportation History Highlights.”  It’s sure to be an interesting program with a time for questions and answers afterward.  Please join us!

Happy August to everyone and … Keep thinking libraries!
