Tom and I went over to the Open House to volunteer today. Last year, when I was still an employee, I spent my time introducing people to e-readers and showing them how they could download, read and return library books on various portable devices at no cost. This year I joined a couple of library staff people to do the same thing. Tom was appointed roving photographer, and he wandered around taking photos that will be used to make a collage. The weather was great, chilly but clear and calm. It looked like a good turnout, and I had some interesting conversations with people about e-books and had a chance to visit with people I had not seen for a while.2013 Opening New Doors Library Open House.For our 7th annual open house we are encouraging patrons to attend and explore the resources and programming the library offers to all of our patrons. The library strives to provide opportunities for our patrons to learn new skills, try new activities, explore new books and Open New Doors. At our open house we will showcase those opportunities. Try out one of our EBook readers with special guest helpers, open a new email account in our computer lab, sign up for the new adult reading program, make an artpiece for our local art wall and explore the library with our scavenger hunt. The children’s room will be full of activities, games and make and take crafts. We will also have information tables, free giveaways, database demonstrations, door prizes, sign up tables and refreshments. Don’t miss this chance to get to know how your library helps you Open New Doors.
There is a winter weather advisory from noon tomorrow (Sunday) until early morning on Monday. It is supposed to begin with light snow before sunrise turning into freezing rain, maybe a third of an inch. We don't have to go anywhere tomorrow and it is supposed to get up to 38 on Monday. The real threat is to power, since that much ice on the trees will likely take some power lines down.
