Our New Library!

That's right, we have finally moved to our new location and we are up and running.

The first couple of weeks were hard, but there's so much more to offer now that we are in our new location.

Our computers are operating with Windows 8 and are touch screen.

We have two silent tutor rooms available for all patrons looking for an area of quiet study.

Our teen room is coming along nicely and houses a safe place for teens to hang out.

The kid's room is nothing but fun! With computers with games, reading chairs and more!

The conference room is available to be rented for meetings, movies, and more!

Teens Researched 1,347 Books for an AR Project!

Congratulations to our T.A.B. (Teen Advisory Board) members for researching and cataloging 1,347 books in our Children's room in a three-week time period!

The board has taken on the project to research and label AR points and reading levels on all of the children books.

This is a daunting task, but they are up for it! So, much so that they competed against each other in teams to see which team could research the most books.

So in their spare time, they came in to work on this project. And we are ready to announce the winners of their contest!

Branden and Durante won with a dramatic finish when they researched a combined total of 561 books!

Great job to Branden and Durante! But, every member who competed did an incredible job by helping the library reach our goal of completing this project by the end of the summer!

We are hoping to aid the schools in the quest of having students read in and out of school.

By labeling the AR points in our library, kids can check out our books and know immediately the reading level of the book and the potential AR points they can earn at school.

Even though they cannot take the AR tests at our library, we can help them by letting them know what AR books we have. They can then complete the tests at school after reading at home.

If you know of any teens in 9th grade and up who would like to participate in this AR project and earn community service hours by joining the Teen Advisory Board, please contact Sofia Simpson at 425-3246.
