Front Ave., Friday Dec. 16, noon to 5 p.m., during its first ever Open House.
“We have been in the new building for a
little more than four years and we still have people coming in and saying, ‘I
had no idea we had something like this,’” said Library Director Bette Ammon. “And
I think even our regular patrons may not be aware of everything we have to
offer.”
For the Open House library staff and
volunteers will have exhibits set up throughout the building highlighting
various offerings and, in some cases, offering snacks.
This event will also offer a sneak peek
at the Smithsonian’s new traveling exhibit “The Way We Worked,” as it begins
its six-week stay at the library.
Other exhibits and activities will
include:
·
Demonstrations
and help with e-books using the library’s new Overdrive link to more than 900 e-book
and audiobook titles.
·
Puppet
shows in the Seagraves Children’s Library.
·
The
library’s Book Club Kits and information on the Pageturners Book Club.
·

its projects including ReTool Box and “Mudgy and Millie.”

at the Library,” a library blog.
