Story Time
We
have Story Time every Wednesday at 10:30 am.
Children's Library
Our librarian
reads two or three books to the children, who then
make a little craft related to the books. The program is open to children
age 2 and older. Call the library at 376-9905 and
ask for Barbara for more information.
Summer Reading
Program
Each summer, the state
selects a theme for the summer reading program for
all the libraries in the state of Tennessee. This
year, the theme will be "Book It Across America."
Through reading and activities, readers and listeners
experience adventures, learn about new worlds, make
friends, and have fun. The
program is open to children age 2 and older. Registration
will be held all day on June 2.
Some of the Kids from the 2003 Reading Program
For Summer 2003, the theme
was "Dive Into Reading." 147 children
signed up for the program, which was held throughout
July. Some of the activities included making a fish-shaped
tie-dye T-shirt, making an aquarium, and a visit
from Mayfiled Dairy's Cal and friends, where each
child received milk and cookies.
Summer Program Display
Case
In the last
week of the program, reading awards were given,
along with prizes and snacks for all. The children
made parrots and received pirate hats donated by
Long John Silver's.

Computer
Literacy Classes
The
Library offers basic computer classes dealing with
learning how to navigate on the Internet and setting
up an e-mail account. The classes are taught by
students from the Tennessee Technology Center in
Harriman. Classes are held Mondays and Thursdays
from 1 to 2 pm. The classes are for four weeks,
a total of eight sessions. Class sizes are currently
limited to eight per group.
Classes
are not planned to be held again until April 2004,
but check back with this web site in case our plans
change. Anyone interested in more information can
call the library at 376-9905 and ask for Karen.
Computers at the Library
Please note that
the public access computers will not be available
to the general public while the classes are being
held.
Guest Speakers
Occasionally,
the Library will play host to guest speakers who
bring their expertise, insights, and experiences
and share them with us. Check the Calendar for dates and the News page for current schedule.
