The primary classes at Garfield
Elementary lead the annual library penny drive by raising $186.86 in April.
Congratulations to Mrs. Kern’s class for being the biggest donor! Librarian Kelsey
will see you at your cupcake and ice cream party. Donations from the school and
branch totaled $193.50. Garfield has a truly great community.
The Garfield Library has received $400
in quality children’s books as a part of a 2 to 1 matching grant from the Libri
Foundation. The $150 in matching money was raised through library book
sales. Each title was personally selected by Librarian Kelsey with her
customers in mind. Watch for announcements of the date for a special
community reading to introduce children to the great new books.
Children’s Summer Reading is right
around the corner; with the first program on June 12 at 3 p.m. Adult and
teen summer reading runs from June 1 through August 31.
All participants will
be rewarded with something special. Hastings Entertainment has provided a
$20 gift certificate for the teen summer reading drawing. The generosity
of the community helps make all our programs extra special.
