On Saturday the ETLPL is participating in the second 2024
Scavenger Games sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. If you participated in
the June games, know Miss Maria has created a completely different scavenger
hunt. The clues and format are all new, but library skills will still be
helpful. While Miss Maria works on that, I’m focused on how to do librarian
hair given that I did not keep my vow to maintain long hair until the final
games in October. I prioritized comfort and the family wedding on Friday. I
should be ashamed.
We have also been working on Fall programming. Miss Anna
created a September-December Calendar similar to the Summer Calendar handed out
in the library this year. The fall calendar will also be handed out and run in
the Fall Park & Recreation Guide. That meant being much better about
planning ahead then in the past few years.
Two new programs I’d like to highlight are the Series
Sampler Book Club and Writer’s Workshop.
Miss Maria is organizing the Series Sampler to replace the
summer’s Choose Your Own Adventure Book Club. SS is also geared toward late
elementary/middle school. The book club
will meet the third Monday of each month at 3:00 pm. She’ll start with an
activity and snack to break the ice and allow time for students to make it here
after school before the discussion begins. Each month will feature the first
book in an age-appropriate series.
The September Series Sampler book is The Wild Robot
by Peter Brown. The first book of this series finds Roz, a robot with amnesia,
waking up alone on a remote, wild island. The September 16th
discussion will take place eleven days before the movie’s release.
Copies of the book are available at the library for checkout.
The Writer’s Workshop will be led by Julianne Carlile. Prompts
will be provided for writers who would like them; however, they are not
required. The focus is on developing writing skills so writers will have opportunities
to provide and receive feedback. Our target audience is adults, but high school
students with an interest are more than welcome.
Writers will meet with Julianne the third Tuesday of the
month 3:00 – 4:30 pm beginning September 17th. Bring the writing
you’d like to discuss and/or the means of writing. The library will make copies
for discussion, but they cannot be on thumb drives.
