Robin’s Observations from the front desk: We at the library, after attending the CLiC conference, decided it would be great for us to start a blog (which is the short of “web log”.) This is just another way we are trying to reach out to you, the community. The reason we started it is because it’s another way to get the word out on what we are doing, but the main reason is that it is a way for you, the patron, to comment on what we are doing and also give us suggestions on other things we could do. So, please feel free to check it out and leave us some feedback! You can get to it by going to our website www.florencecolibrary.org and clicking on the link called Library Blog or you can go directly to the blog at: http://jcflibrary.wordpress.com/
Notes from the back room: Boy oh boy is June going to be exciting! We are doing inventory! Yeah, ok so that isn’t really exciting, can’t say I didn’t try. By doing inventory we are hoping to find misplaced and lost books and get everything ship shape for the year. In case the inventory thing didn’t get you all excited, June is also the kick off to the Summer Reading Programs. Every Tuesday, June 10th until July 15th , at 10:00 am there will be an exciting program at the library for the kids. The children’s theme is BUGS! The Teen Summer Reading Program will be on Thursdays, June 12th through July 17th from 1:00 until 2:30 pm. The teen theme is METAMORPHOSIS! Get ready for a creepy crawly summer! We are also going to try something a little new with something that is a little old. Our old card catalog doesn’t serve a practical purpose here anymore and we sort of need the space, so we thought we would give it to the person who writes the best essay on the card catalog and what they would do with it if they had it. Essays will be due in to the library by 6:55 p.m. Wednesday, July 16th. Each essay must be accompanied by a $5.00 entry fee donation. Any questions (or if you want to see the old card catalog) come by the back room!
