Still No News

We still haven't found a new teen librarian to replace Karen.  (She was in the other day--she's having fun in her new job!)

In the meantime, please let us know if you are interested in volunteering this summer.  We're putting together the regular Summer Reading Program schedule, and if all goes well, we will also be recruiting volunteers for a special lunchtime program for kids.  (More on that when the details have been confirmed.) 

So stop in and we'll get your volunteer info updated and your name on the schedule. 

And go ahead and get yourselves signed up for the Summer Reading Program too!

Don't forget!

I know we'll be seeing a few of you as volunteers this weekend to help with the book sale, but I wanted to remind the rest of you---come and spend a little money on books and support the library at the same time!



The Friends of the Library will be having a book sale at the Sharonville Branch April 19 through April 21. That's this Thursday, 12-8, Friday 10-6, and Saturday, 10-5.




The money we raise helps pay for library programs, including all of the special events this summer for the Summer Reading Program. So a good cause on top of a good way to get some great cheap reads.

Missing Karen!



Hi all, I'm sure you've already heard that Karen is now working as the children's librarian at our Forest Park branch. We HOPE to have our new teen librarian by the middle of next month, but that won't be in time for a STAB meeting or movie night. So stay tuned, and we'll let you know for June.


Meanwhile, is anyone reading anything wonderful?

Their she meets people that she can relate to. Out in the woulds one day she meets Dylan. Terrible things start happening like people going missing. Fter finding out about a prophecy of a person who can talk to animals. The prophecy is talking about her, and her so called powers. As she races against time, what will happen to the school, and people in it?
