The new year began with some controversy here at HPL, but is shaping up to be a year of positives. Our new coffee bar proprietor (info here and here) began selling some REALLY good coffee and tasty treats on January 4th. The Bru Crue Coffee Bar is open a huge number of hours - practically the same as the library's hours and will be adding even more new treats in the coming months. Stop by and try it for yourself.
Yet another great program - perhaps the best yet - from our fantastic technology trainer at HPL is gearing up to start in the next couple of weeks. The HPL 2010 Project (pdf info here) will kick off January 30. I can hardly wait for this program to start. I get so far behind, especially when it comes to the Internet and the flood of new tools that appear seemingly every day. This program will introduce participants to tools that they might otherwise never try. Best of all, it is self-paced AND there are chances to win really cool prizes! All you have to do is explore and complete a minimum of 10 out of the 20 activities presented...20 activities, 10 to finish...2010 - get it? Clever, eh? (wink, wink!) Sign up here and catch up (or just learn about some new thing).
Do you fancy yourself an "animal" person? I'll bet the children in your family or your neighborhood do. If so, we have a great children's program lined up next week. On January 19th at 6:30pm, Lorrie Beck from the Great Plains Nature Center will present a program entitled "Kansas Critters & Symbols". This program is geared toward school-age children and their families. Ms. Beck is a great presenter and the animals she brings are sure to be interesting. I heard that she is bringing a barred salamander (the state amphibian) and a box turtle (the state reptile).
