Happenings at the Library February 2013

Today we placed an order for a large number of new non-fiction titles for children and young adults. Everything from writing papers and speeches to living in Medieval Castles will be arriving soon! We also purchased a great deal of titles dealing with the Civil War, WWII and the American Revolution for young people.

The Director is also working to complete orders for the books thus far requested by patrons. So, in the coming weeks there will be lots to share!

Our new computers have arrived just today!!! It will take a while for them all to be up and running but all in good time. We are waiting for the last software licenses to come through and then the state techs will be here to set everything up for us.

Wednesday February 20th will be our first Story Hours and the topic will be Presidents. Story hours will be every Wednesday and topics vary tremendously. Ages 3-6 are at 10 AM and the Trailblazers will meet at 3:30 (ages 7-11).

March 1 is Read Across America Day and Dr. Seuss's Birthday! We will be having a special celebration here at the library at 10 AM. Miss Sue will be reading Dr. Seuss stories and we will make crafts. The Iron Kettle Restaurant in Lynchburg will be donating Cat in the Hat edible hats for the kids. We are going to have lots of fun and hope you will come and join us!

We are planning some extra special events in April as well. More details to come but I will say that in conjunction with the 200th anniversary of the release of Pride and Prejudice and the opening of the Carriage House Players production, the Library will be teaming up with the cast to host some really fun events for kids of all ages (that means kids at heart too!).
