It’s that time of year again. Don’t forget to turn your clocks ahead this weekend and don’t be late for any library programs this week.
Library and Lunch will be held this Tuesday, March 11 at 12 p.m. for Sara Paretsky’s “Bleeding Kansas”. It’s the Kansas Reads 2014 pick and I didn’t tell the group yet but I was on the committee to pick it this year. It was selected through survey across the state by librarians and library folk. As for Library and Lunch we look for new members all the time so even if you haven’t read the book come and join in on the conversation.
If you can’t make it over the lunch hour, check out Book Chat on Thursday, March 20 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss books you’re currently reading. If new books have come in that week, we let you browse the books that are about to hit the new book shelf. For those who like the culinary arts better, check out Recipe Swap on the last Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. This month’s theme is loosely breakfast based. I recently discovered the wonders of coconut milk and have coconut cream sodas on the brain.
During spring break we have a slew of activities for the kids. On Monday, March 17 at 2 p.m. we will be showing a movie for teens. A 2013 movie about two characters that become targets of the Capitol after their victory sparks a rebellion in the Districts of Panem. There will be an animated movie on Wednesday March 19 at 2 p.m. for the kids. Looms will be on Thursday, March 20 at 2 p.m. Come to the library to use colorful rubber bans to create different patterned bracelets or rings. Those are just two examples. You can make other items as well. If you have your own Rainbow Loom bring it! And lastly Board Games will be played on Friday, March 21 from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The library's magazine to subscription began late last fall. Patrons now have access to full color, interactive digital magazines that can be downloaded and read on mobile devices, home computers, or one of the library's computers. There are no waiting lists especially for the brand new issue and there's no need to return any magazine issue once it has been checked out. They can be held on a device until it is deleted. There’s a really cool feature where you can bookmark aka ‘favorite’ pages. So if there’s a page you’d like to read later on you can do so. It’s a stellar feature.
Creating an account has two parts to it. First you create a library Zinio account to check out and a personal Zinio reading account to download and read your magazines. Directions can be found on our website. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us at the circulation desk.
At the end of the month in collaboration with SCCC/ATS Library we will be celebrating National Women's History Month with a panel discussion of prominent women who serve our community. It will be held here at Liberal Memorial Library on Wednesday, March 26 at 12 p.m. We'll also be showing a movie on Thursday, March 13 at 5:45 p.m., a 1992 movie about two sisters who join the first female professional baseball team. Check out Debbie’s spectacular Women of Kansas alcove when you’re at the circulation desk!
For the latest library programming take a peek at the library website or grab a newsletter from the circulation desk. Stay tuned and connected through our social media pages. If you have any questions or suggestions about books or programs don't hesitate to ask. See you at the library this month!
