What's Happening in 2008...

Babies are synonymous with beginnings and fresh starts so what better way to usher in the new year than by starting a new storytime just for babies?! Beginning January 14 at the Paul A. Biane Library and January 17 at the Archibald Library, Bouncing Babies storytime will offer children ages 0-23 months and their caregivers an opportunity to enjoy songs, fingerplays, stories and quality time learning about language and play. If you'd like to register for this new program, please register at your closest library location.

So Just Where Have We Been?

While its customary to do a year in review posting closer to the end of the year, now, in the wake of our annual inservice, is a perfect time to recap some of the amazing things that have gone on at our amazing libraries in the past twelve months.


Between our three locations, Archibald, Biane and the Bookmobile, we have circulated almost 1 million items (sure to top that by January 1), welcomed almost 600,000 visitors and issued almost 20,000 new library cards!


As we look forward to the new year, we know we're only going to get bigger and better. We're going to begin work on revamping our "fourth" location -- the Virtual Library, enhancing and expanding our programming with the addition of a storytime for children under the age of two and increasing the number of special family programs offered at all of our locations.

We look forward to seeing all our library regulars as we welcome in this new year and making some new friends, as well! Please join us in making 2008 our best year ever!
