Hello,
My thanks goes out to those of you that joined the millions of listeners yesterday who heard my radio interview on KAFM 88.1. The ratings soared and the phones rang off their hooks during my time on the air. Seriously though, it was great fun and allowed me an opportunity to talk about our department and all the things relevant to Teens in our library. Speaking of relevant things, here is an idea of what to look forward to at the Central library in the near future:
- Customer Appreciation Day is September 7th. Stop by and get some refreshments.
- Join our Back to School Pizza Party at 2:30 on September 15th. I will be giving away a pizza cookbook and cutter along with a backpack full of school supplies. The prizes will be on display after the holiday weekend.
- Teen Read Week is October 14th-20th. The theme this year is “LOL.” I’ll post more information about it at a later date.
There are a lot of great things going on at our branch libraries right now. Check out the special activities for Tweens and Teens on Fridays at 3:00 at the Palisade library. Also, our Fruita Branch is starting up WAC (Wednesday afternoon club) next week. Teen Happy Hour is back on at the Orchard Mesa Branch. Stop in after school and check out the fun.
I hope to see some familiar faces while touring school libraries during September. Please let me know if you have any comments about the Summer Reading Program. I am going to a meeting next week to discuss how things went and what we would like to do next year.
That wraps it up for now. Don't forget that the library is closed until Tuesday. I am only 1 hour away from the beginning of a fantastic labor-free Labor Day Weekend! Hope you all have a nice break as well. –Shawna
