Delaware Township Library

Boy what a week!  I have had to learn to do Flickr and to put pictures on our website and my blog.  It has been a good experience I guess.  So you can notice that I have at least two pictures on the website now that you can click on and see.  I need to get my other two on here somehow. We’ll give it a try and see if I can do it.  The four pictures I have taken are of our extra room for the most part with the exception of our breaker box.  I took a picture of it to show you how we disguised our breaker box.

We have about made it through another January.  It’s almost gone and we won’t have to deal with it again for another eleven months.  That always sounds good to me.  Winter is not my favorite time of the year.  It is a time for new beginnings though and we are looking forward to serving all of you this year.  We will be hosting a Valentine Party for our preschoolers this next month.  We have a local group of yoga ladies who meet in our extra room twice per week.   We’ll be attending the Summer Reading Program workshop this February and making preparations for another summer of fun times together.

Today I set up a blog at kaylassiter@wordpress.com.   You can follow along with this not only as I learn to do things but to see what is new here at the library and with me in general.

They have changed our web page so that those of you who are used to seeing the NExpress rectangle to click on and give your information will see that it is missing.  I guess you are supposed to check the search the catalog portion on the upper right hand portion of the page above the calendar.  Try that and see if that works.

The address of the catalog is:  catalog.nexpresslibrary.org

It is the time of the year where we think about New Year’s Resolutions.  What are you resolving to do this next year?  Hopefully you are making a list of things that you want or need to read this coming year.  Several years ago at a summer reading program workshop that we attended in February of that year, the guest speaker suggested we keep a list of the titles we read through the year.  Well, many years later, I’m still doing that.  This year I’m making a list of things I want to read and see how many I actually get read.  There are so many great books out there to read and so little time as the saying goes.

We were thrilled to be selected as one of the Kansas Library taking part in a pilot program for loaning books to other states and being able to receive them as well.  The other states taking part in this pilot program are: Connecticut, New Jersey, Wisconsin and parts of Canada.  If this program works well it will certainly open many doors to our patrons for material that has otherwise been out of reach for us.  This will be extremely helpful for people doing research on various subjects.
