National Library Week Wrap-Up

We'd like to thank everyone who participated in National Library Week, and helped make it such a success.  It was great to interact with members of the CCC community, and the community as a whole.  They learned about the many resources and services we have to offer, and we got feedback from them about what they're looking for in a library.  It was a rewarding and enlightening experience all around.

As part of National Library Week, library users could bring back any overdue materials, fine free, no questions asked.  While we have offered a fine free week for several years now, our circulation department reports that this year was the most successful by far, with several dozen items being returned.  Some of these items had been overdue for a year or more!

The library also partnered with Lori Blaney and Sherry Forrest from the Early Childhood department for three special storytimes. 

Children and adults alike gathered to watch these special events, and a good time was had by all. 

Ms. Blaney's and Ms. Forrest's classes put on programs as good as any professional storytime, and seem to have a bright future ahead of them in the field.  We thank them very much for their participation.

We would also like to thank the following contributors:

Steve Carter and Lee Gardner for assisting with parking and directional signs.

Marsha Daugherty for assisting with printing.

Larry Henderson and the Maintenance Department for placing and removing our Library Week banner.

Rebecca Shelby and her students, for creating the National Library Week banner.

Sandy Wall, for aiding us in publicizing the event.

Velda Whitfield, for posting flyers around campus.

You're all stars in our book!

Thanks again to everyone who made National Library Week 2008 so memorable.
