Updates for June

Reminder

The library is closed Wednesday and Sunday nights during the summer.

If you cannot be here on Sunday morning or Monday - Thursday between 9 and 3:30, please contact me by email to set up another possible time.

Summer reading registration continues.  260 are currently enrolled.  This promotion with prizes is for ages preschool through Grade 12 (who graduated this year).

Here are some new additions to our shelves.

Closed for a funeral

We will CLOSED for two hours on Thursday, May 24 from

10:30 until 12:30.

The funeral service for Justin Maples will be held during that time.

You may visit us earlier that morning or in the afternoon.

Please also note that we are observing summer hours which means we are not open on Wednesday and Sunday nights.

See you soon for the reading program for preschool - grade 12.  Two hundred students are currently signed up.  We anticipate about 500 total will be reading Christian Literature with us this summer.

All Aboard for Reading!!!

This is how the back counter looked at the beginning of the week - - - all cleared off and ready for the "General Store".  Additional shelving was added.

 

Prizes were sorted and put in individual shoe boxes.

 A prize from each box is put on the pegboard.  It has clear plexiglass doors and will be placed near the bookshelves for the children to see.

As you can see, each prize is given a number.  Even different colors of the same item receive their own number.  That way when we are in a hurry, we don't have to stop ask, "What color do you want?"

The numbers on the pegboard correspond to the shoe boxes in the back room.  We also put a description of the item on each label.

Just another view.

A bit of a close-up.

 

 A few cars.

 Some stickers - 10 to a sheet.

Self-explanatory.

Parachute people.

We are ready for you to come in to the library - - - fill out your registration form - - check out some books and take home a prize or two!   See ya sometime Monday - Thursday between 9 and 3:30 - - - or on Sunday morning!

Library Training & Summer Reading

On Tuesday night, May 8, at Candies Creek Baptist, we will have our Bradley Baptist Associational Library Meeting.  Training will be introduced for librarians and their workers.  Let me tell you how important this was to me.

Years ago, I was only a library volunteer who applied for and got the director's position at FBC Cleveland.  The materials we will be presenting on Tuesday evening contain the books of knowledge that taught me everything I know about library administration and processing of materials.  The more my workers and I learned, the more our library ministry for our Lord increased.

If you are interested in attending this meeting, call our library at 709-9100 or you can email me at Lharrington@clevelandfbc.com.

This week we unpacked the toy prizes for the children's summer reading program which begins May 20 - - - in just two short weeks!!!  However, if you are reading this and want to come in for early registration  - - and prizes - - - - you may do that beginning May 15.  We are very excited to have your preschoolers - grade 12 come and visit us soon!
