Here at the library we are looking forward to celebrating National Library Week, April 13-19. We’ll be offering programs, a prize drawing, and amnesty on library fines.
On Tuesday, April 15th at 10:30 a.m. we’ll be presenting a story time for preschoolers. The program will feature the library and how we use it. We’ll have stories, activities and snacks. The program is free and all preschoolers are invited.
On Friday, April 18th at 7:00 p.m. we’ll be hosting a Family Movie Night featuring “Bee Movie” (Rated PG). We’ll have free popcorn and drinks available. We’ll also have a door prize drawing for a DVD copy of “Bee Movie” for one lucky winner to take home. The evening should be fun for the whole family and everyone is invited.
If you come by and see us during National Library Week you can enter our prize drawing for one of three great prizes. You will have a chance to win a signed copy of Chris Scott’s “Highland County, Images of America,” a Highland County Public Library tote bag, or a family movie DVD pack including “The Longest Day,” “Sleepless in Seattle,” “The Karate Kid,” and “Born Free.” The rules allow one entry per person and you may only enter for yourself.
Also during National Library Week we’ll be offering amnesty on fines for overdue books. Anyone who has library items overdue can return them during that week and be forgiven of their fines. Sadly, there are many people out there holding onto books that really belong to the whole community. I hope they’ll take advantage of this opportunity to return the items with no penalty. Again, those amnesty dates are April 13-19.
I’ve already begun planning for the summer reading program. At this point I can reveal that the theme this year will be “Catch the Reading Bug.” We’ve already booked our favorite puppet troupe Puppets with Pizzazz and the Thursday Morning Movies will be returning. I’m working on setting up several other fun programs, too. Summer is coming soon and I can’t wait!
Did you know that you can have items laminated at the library? We offer laminating sheets in sizes 8”x11” and 8”x14.” Each sheet is one dollar. This service is available to everyone.
Check out some of the hottest new releases on our shelves. We have Jennifer Chiaverini’s “Winding Ways Quilt,” Joel Rosenberg’s “Dead Heat,” Linda Fairstein’s “Killer Heat,” Heather Graham’s “Death Dealer,” Andrew Gross’s “The Dark Tide,” Carolyn Hart’s “Death Walked In,” Jodi Picoult’s “Change of Heart,” Anne Rice’s “Christ the Lord, the Road to Cana,” Stephen White’s “Dead Time,” and Joy Fielding’s “Charley’s Web.” In non-fiction we have Nick Sheff’s “Beautiful Boy, A Father’s Journey Through His Son’s Addiction,” Charles Colson’s “The Faith, What Christians Believe, Why They Believe It, and Why It Matters,” and Scott Douglas’s “Quiet Please, Dispatches from a Public Librarian.” Check them out!
