Donations-What We Have Done
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.
In 2008 they provided payments for school bus service so that area children can visit the library. Children are enjoying looking at the new globe near the Children's Reference Desk. They have also sponsored programs (Example: Lyric Opera Music Lecture Series).
