Storytime for children of all ages runs 10:30-11 a.m. every Tuesday from Jan. 22 through March 26 in the Children’s Room and includes songs, stories and a craft. Storytime is a great way to teach your child early literacy skills, while also showing them how fun reading and visiting the library can be.
Save the date: The library’s third annual “Love Your Local Artist” event runs 5:30-8 p.m. Feb. 8 in the library’s chandelier area. This free event features music and refreshments. Local artists will be on hand to discuss, display and sell their work, and the evening will include an adopt-a-book sale. Last year’s event was a wonderful evening, and we hope you will plan to join us as we support our local artists.
The Friends of the Library next meet at 10:30 a.m. Jan. 21 in the Library Classroom. All members and potential members are invited.
The year 2012 was an eventful one at the library. The Library Board embarked upon a 5-year strategic planning process that will be complete by the end of January. The Friends of the Library made over $8,700 at their annual book sale, their highest profit so far. The library purchased a new digital microfilm scanning system and implemented a newly-designed website, superiorlibrary.org featuring the artwork of our unique and lovely Carl Gawboy paintings. Plans for 2013 include more downloadable e-books and e-reader devices to check out to the public. Stay tuned.
