Newsletter 2/14/13

February 11, 2013 Library News, SCL Newsletter

@ YOUR LIBRARY

ILLNESS AND THE LIBRARY
We are doing everything we can to limit the transmission of illness from one library patron to another.  Restrooms are stocked with antibacterial soap, we wipe down computer keyboards and flat surfaces daily with antibacterial wipes, and we have several hand sanitizer stations for patrons and staff.  To help us limit illness from being passed around, adults that are too ill to go to work and children that are too ill to go to school should not come into the library.  We know that it is often difficult to entertain a sick family member at home while they are suffering or recuperating from a bug.  Give us a call and we will have your selections ready for you to pick up, or we can bring it to your car.  Our patrons and staff with compromised immune systems will thank you!

BLIND DATE WITH A BOOK
Tired of the Same Old Relationships?  Need Something New and Exciting?  How about a blind date with a book? During the month of February, stop by and check out a specially wrapped book from our display.  Take it home, unwrap it, read it, and enjoy! If you don’t like the book, simply return it to the library, its feelings won’t be hurt.

If that is too “out of the box” for you, try the “I don’t remember the title, but the cover was red” display at the front desk.  You can see what you are getting!

ADULT WINTER READING PROGRAM
Fifty-nine patrons are currently signed up for the “Let It Snow” adult winter reading program.  This program will run through March 22. As of Friday, February 8, the group had read 286 books!  Winners for the weekly prizes were Michael Burrows, Sara DeVaughan, and Retha Wagner.

TEXTILE EXHIBIT
Two weeks remain for the textile exhibit.  This exhibit shows a wide variety of textile formats and items.  You will be AMAZED at the talents of our local artists.  Exhibitors will be able to pick up their items AFTER February 28.

1000 BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN
Register your child for 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. When you register, you will receive a reading log bookmark to record the first 100 books your child experiences.

After you and your child  record 100 books on your reading log bookmark, return the bookmark to the library. For every 100 books your child experiences, he/she will add his/her name to our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten progress chart! Upon the completion of every 100 books, you will receive a new reading log bookmark.

Upon reaching 1,000 books, your child will receive a certificate of completion and a small gift.  Any child that has not yet enrolled in Kindergarten is eligible for this program.  Count any books that are read to your child, no matter who reads the books: brother, sister, babysitter, or even a librarian at Circle Time!
