Summer Reading Program
On June 15, 2009, sign up begins for the Summer Reading Program and its events! This years Reading Program theme is "Be Creative At Your Library", and we have gone wild with creativity! Many options will be set before you when you come to sign up this year. In addition to our traditional Reading Program and Wednesday Morning Fun, we also have evening events and some Thursday Morning Crafts.
Yes- the Library will come to your Daycare!
As a courtesy to all the daycares in the Poland area, one of our volunteers, Suzie Stover, will come to your daycare and do a Storytime! This Storytime includes the reading of several stories appropriate for the preschool age and a craft also appropriate for the preschool age. If you are interested in having Suzie come to your daycare, either for a single visit, or on a regular basis, please call us at 998-4390. This service is only offered from September to June, and is not available during July and August.
Storytime Info
Storytime has officially stopped for the summer and will start again in the fall. Thanks for a great year!
Like Art?
Do you like art? Do you like a variety of art? Maybe you like art, but, like many of us, can't afford to continually buy new pieces? If that's so, then the library has the answer! Thanks to the generous donations of many people, the library has several pieces of art available for two week loan. Yes, they go out just like books!
Kill-A-Watt Energy Detector
Ricker Library now has Kill-A-Watt Energy Detectors available for loan. These wonderful little devices can be used to determine how much energy the electronic devices in your house are using. In essence: IT WILL HELP YOU KNOW HOW YOU CAN CUT YOUR ELECTRIC BILL AND SAVE MONEY! We have two Kill-A-Watt Energy Detectors and they are available for a one week loan. They must be returned in one week. There is a $1 fee for every day they are overdue.
Outreach Services
We at the library understand that not all who want to come are able to come, so we have started an Outreach Service. Through the Outreach Service Poland residents who are not able to come to the library will be able to rent printed books, audio books (both cassettes and CD's), music, and videos (both VHS and DVD). The items you rent will then be delivered to your home and picked up when you are finished with them.To join the Outreach Service Program simply call the library at 998-4390 or fill out the following form and send it to us at:
PUZZLES!!!
The staff is great at checking out books, but not so great at putting together puzzles! Please come over and help them by working on the puzzle they have currently set up; or just put a few pieces together during your next visit. The puzzle is set up in the sitting area.
