The room was filled! Yesterday for craft day we had 134 children participating! I didn't really know what to expect for storytime today, but it looks like another successful program from our wonderful Children's Department staff. The summer programs this year have been really well-attended through the middle of July. I think that we will find at the end that this was one of the best years of the decade. I think that this is due in part to the effect of our outreach program to day care centers, but I also think that we get many return "customers" because of the fun programs our staff members create. Bravo to all of our Children's Department staff members!
We have so many things going on right now, I feel a bit like a side-show act. You know, the guy who is juggling a chainsaw, a bowling ball, a tennis ball, and an egg? That's what I feel like! I am NOT complaining, though. It is good that we have the opportunity to try new things and to make some needed changes.
Besides putting together the budget for 2011, we have been working on the Prairie Book Festival, the new quiet reading room, our roving reference experiment, and getting ourselves organized for participation in the Kansas Library Express courier.
If you are a fan of HPL on Facebook, you may also have noticed a nifty little post from Wowbrary this week. Wowbrary is an email newsletter service that sends out to subscribers a list of every new item HPL has added in the previous week. Now, if you are a fan on Facebook, you'll see a FB post every Wednesday linking to that list of new stuff. You can be the first to put new things on hold since Wowbrary provides convenient links directly to the items on our catalog system!
