It’s Magazine Adoption Time at the Library! Choose a magazine from our list of un-adopted magazines, and donate the subscription cost, which will allow us to keep current copies of that magazine on the shelf for another year. It’s a small way to make a BIG difference at your Public Library. To adopt a magazine, come by the Library or call Brenda at 425-3598, ext. 22. Click HERE for Magazines Currently Up for Adoption |
Over 120 years ago, school children across America collected their pennies to raise money for the Statue of Liberty pedestal. Today, the students of Baxter County are making a difference in support of their new, public Library. Since the Lincolns for the Library Program began in Oct. 2009, students in the Mountain Home School District have raised over $6,500 for the new Library by collecting coins. The class/team/academy in each school that raised the most money were rewarded with sneak-preview trips to the new Library and pizza parties in May 2010. -------------------------------- Unique Gift Idea

Job shadowing helps develop career skills for teen intern Kayla Childs |
It is almost SUMMER and because we will be in the process of moving to our new building, there will be big changes to the 2010 Summer Reading Program at the Baxter County Library. Because it will be impossible to have our regular programs, classes, and events, Summer Reading Program bags have been filled for three age categories: birth – age 4, ages 5 – 9, and ages 10 and up. Inside each bag will be a Make a Splash—READ! doorhanger and bookmark, age-appropriate activity and coloring sheets, and a reading log with stickers. You will be responsible for your own reading log and incentives this summer. Each participant will also be able to choose one book from a selection of new paperbacks to put in his/her bag to keep. Bag pick-up will begin Saturday, June 5, following our special 10:30 program with Ronald MacDonald in person. Ronald will be joined by his special friends, Mr. Dictionary & Stoogie the Bookworm for a laughter-filled 30-minute program of puppets, storytelling, and magic to share the most important message: READING IS FUN! ***Bags will be available through June 12 during regular Library hours.*** Story Time 10:30am Wednesdays in the Library’s meeting room and Saturdays in the Children’s Room. Children enjoy theme-based stories, activities, and crafts. Tele-Tales 424-BOOK (2665) and at www.baxlib.org. Call in to the Library or listen online to the stories, nursery rhymes, and songs. Stories are read by Children’s Librarian Mrs. Deborah. |
