Busy days at the library!

Here on the blog, things have been pretty quiet lately, but they sure haven't in the library!

We have just finished up a series of computer classes.  We taught seven classes on Tuesday nights beginning March 24th.  I always enjoy the computer classes.  Every group that comes through is different and this one was no exception.  This group was lively and a lot of fun!  Look for a new series in the fall.



We are also finishing up Marvelous Monday! for the time being.  Yesterday's experiment was the Mentos and Diet Coke explosion.  I didn't get any pictures, because I was too busy trying to dodge the spewing coke.  We have one more week left, and then we will begin again in September. 

Last week, I was pleased to visit the 5th grade and give an overview of everything the library offers and tell them about our summer programs.  They had a lot of very good questions about our library and some suggestions for new books that we will be looking into.  These are just a few of the kids I talked to.

Today's project will be putting these new books in the system.  Look for them on the shelves in the next couple of days!



Next week on Tuesday at 2:00 we will be showing the movie Still Alice.  Based on the book by Lisa Genova, Still Alice is about a woman who is dealing with the devastating diagnosis of Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease.  The movie never came to the theaters anywhere around here, and many of us wanted to see it, so we chose it as the first movie we are showing in what we hope will become an ongoing event.  To see the movie, please contact us at the library to reserve your ticket.  Space is limited, so tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

And finally, we are welcoming Christian this year as our summer help.  You may recognize her from her work at the Cultural Art Center, which she is continuing. 


We are looking forward to a busy summer and hope you'll join us for some of our activities!
