Read with Rover - this week

For the kids - have your parents sign you up for a half-hour slot between 5-6 pm to "Read with Rover."  We'll have dogs with their handlers available for you to read out loud to on Mon. April 12, Tues. April 13, Thurs. April 15 and Fri. April 16.  If you have any questions or want to sign up, call Miss Liz in the Children's Department at 712-246-2624.   Thanks to People for Paws for making this possible.

Food for Fines - all week

In celebration of National Library week, the Shenandoah Public Library is offering "Food for Fines" April 12-17.  For every donated item of non-perishable food, we'll take $1 off your fines - except for Ramen Noodles, which we'll accept as 5/$1.  Food for fines is not applicable toward the replacement fee for lost books.  All food we collect will go to the Shenandoah food pantry.

Census lady gone

Due to a change in schedule, Chris, our census lady, won't be in again.  Don't forget to mail in your form!

Friday Destinations - see you there!

This Friday, April 9 marks the first of our Friday Destinations programs.  Drop in at 4:30 to hear Leslie Van Buskirk share stories and photos from her world tour - 2 suitcases, 2 continents, 3 months.  Then head to the Sanctuary next door for dinner afterwards and enjoy a free promotion if you attended the library event!

Thursday - Reading Club

Stop by the library at 7 pm on Thursday for a great book discussion on Bold Spirit: Helga Estby's Forgotten Walk Across Victorian America by Linda Hunt.  You can also pick up next month's book, Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

Got Census questions? Hurry in!

If you have questions about your Census 2010 form, this is the last week to have them answered at the Shenandoah Public Library.  Our Census Lady, Chris, will be in Thursday from 1-7pm and Friday 10am-1pm.  So hurry in to make sure that everyone gets counted!

New Computers - No foolin'!

Earlier this week, the library installed new computers.  We've now got 6 sit-down internet stations and 2 stand-up stations for public use.  Think I'm joking?  Come on down and have a look!
