New links on our website
Two interesting links I added to our website can both be found by clicking the Community Links on the left. The first is the local gas prices. Don't waste gas driving around, check here before you go. The second link is for the News Examiner. This is a searchable database. This is a great resource with screenshots of the News Examiner from 1955-2007. Sure there is a big gap between 1960 and 2005, but I found it very interesting. Hope you do too!
Bookmark Design Contest
We are so excited to host a bookmark design contest for kids ages 3 - 14. Using this year's summer reading program theme, "Catch the Reading Bug", kids are being asked to create a bookmark. Entry forms will be sent home with your elementary and middle school students this week. We also have forms available at the library. For more information, click here or visit the library. Hurry, entries must be returned by April 19.
Downloadable Audio Books
Beginning October 1, we will be offering downloadable audiobooks. Come in to the library to sign up for an account then login to http://netlibrary.com and you can download your choice of thousands of audiobooks. You can listen to them directly from your computer or download to an mp3 player for portable use. Only have dial-up at home? Not a problem! We have 8 computers available at the library for your use. Sorry, the files are not compatible with iPod.
This is a one-year pilot program from the Idaho Commission for Libraries, funded with a federal LSTA grant. If it is used and enjoyed by our patrons we will try to continue the service for other years. Give it a try --- we are sure you will love it!
Mommy and Me Storytime
Beginning September 6, we are starting a new storytime. It is called Mommy and Me and it is for infants and toddlers ages 0 to 24 months. Miss Vicky will delight your youngest with stories, songs, and fingerplays. You will leave each storytime with a board book for your baby. What could be more fun! Not only is it a great experience for baby, but you also get to meet with other moms. Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. See you there!
