Donations-What We Have Done
Peek-A-Book Interactive Kiosk in Children's Area A Peek-A-Book Kiosk was donated by the Friends of the Library. Go to the Children's Department to view this interactive technology up close! Children can watch book reviews featuring puppets and book selection readings. Two headphones are available for children to listen, and the books being reviewed are available on the kiosk bookshelves for checkout.
In the past, new tables for the meeting room have been acquired along with the Crocodile Board Book Display in the Children's Area. The Friends have provided monies to attain Spanish language materials for adult and children.




Globe The new globe near the Children's Reference Desk has been a welcome addition.







 
Caterpillar Alphabet Letters Rug
Other kids have been learning their alphabet letters
from the beautiful caterpillar rug which is in the children's play area. Money has also been donated to gain more items for the adult audiobook, large print, and spanish language collections.
In conjunction with the Lion's Club they have provided payments for school bus service so that area children can visit the library. They have also sponsored programs (Example: Lyric Opera Music Lecture Series).
