Decatur Public
Library has started 2018 with some major changes. We lost employees and changed
the hours we are open, causing us to enact further changes in the way we serve
our patrons. Where before there was a circulation and a reference/information
desk, there is now just one Public Service Desk. All patron interactions are
handled from the one place, allowing us to provide better service with fewer
employees. We are cross-training all employees and appreciate the public’s
patience as we all adapt to the new way of doing things.
One thing that did
not change is the year-long Annual Adult Reading Challenge. Despite bad weather
we kicked off the 6th annual challenge on Friday, January 12th.
A Book Challenge, as we are calling it this year, is based on the alphabet. If
you haven’t signed up yet, please come by the Marketing and Outreach Office and
we will be happy to get you started. There will be one task each month released
sometime during the month on this blog. The January task is Change.
Read a book that is about a major change in the characters’ lives.
Change effects all of us, whether it is a divorce, the birth of a child, the
death of a parent, or the loss of a job. So come by the library and see the
changes we’ve made, and sign up for the Adult Reading Challenge while you’re
here.
Happy Reading!
