If you haven’t heard, Decatur Public Library is working on a Strategic Plan and we need your input. We are attempting to gather as much feedback as possible through Focus Groups and surveys. If you haven’t completed a survey yet, please follow the link to help us understand how you use the library and what you would like to see us offer in the future.
The next Focus Group will be held on Thursday, August 17th in the Community Room from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm. This will be an on-going, come and go Focus Group. You can join in the conversation at any time. Come in and give us your feedback to the same seven questions we have asked at other focus groups. There will also be paper copies of the survey available.
Summer Reads was a crazy, busy, and fun time this year. The Youth Services department hosted 42 events in June and July in the library, plus group activities that were not on the calendar (programs for Decatur Youth Services and the Boys and Girls Clubs) and they went out on some outreach trips. Needless to say, we all feel like summer was a very busy time. We hope
your summer was just as full of fun and books. Don’t forget the library
has resources to help
with schoolwork once school is back in session.
We now get to turn
our attention to fall programming. Our Annual Quilt Show, a Gothic Gala-based on Dracula, and
hopefully a couple of lunch and learn topics are being planned. On our new
website, to see what’s happening at the library go to the “Library Events” tab
in the blue ribbon over the picture. The events listed above are not currently found on the website because we are in the process of scheduling
dates and times, but they will appear there as soon as they are finalized.
August is Family
Fun Month. The August task for the Adult Reading Challenge is to
read a book about a family. The fun part is optional, but the
central theme of the book must be family. The family can be blood or chosen, but must be described by the author as family.
Happy Reading!
