Library Activities : March 2013

Theodor Seuss Geis would have been 109 years old this year. He is better known as Dr. Seuss, and Iibraries everywhere celebrate his birthday at the beginning of March. Our annual celebration of Dr. Seuss’s birthday took place on Saturday, March 2. Monica read Horton Hears a Who! and the movie The Lorax was viewed. It was a great time with over 40 kids and adults.

In partnership with the Wy’East Artisans guild, “Music in the Coffee House” the theme of this years’ annual library art show, was hung and will run mid-March through mid-April. The theme fits will with the program we will present on our first “First Friday” on April 5.

During our popular First Friday Coffee House programs, we move shelves around to make room for musicians and viewers. We requested help from the Friends of Sandy Library to purchase three new mobile book cases for our young adult and children’s areas. They were ordered from a local craftsman, and put in place in March. Not only are they beautiful (see the picture) but we can easily roll them around, even though they weigh about 800 lbs when full of books. We get by with a LOT of help from our Friends!
