People’s Choice Award March 30, 2009

 

The “Chairs’  made there first official debut. We took all 19 chairs to “Grillin and Chillin” on Main Street. What a success! We asked people to come in and vote for their favorite chairs. Of course there was lots  of “TALK” about which chair was best, but when all the votes were counted the People’s Choice was “CREATE” a chair done by FSU Interior Design student Sarah Cowart. Thanks to Sarah for her chair.

A huge thanks to all the artists who are helping us with this project.

ECMHSP Visits Library March 25, 2009

Wednesday, March 25th – 15 active youngsters from ECMHSP visited the library. We started off using our “lummi sticks”, these are always a hit!!!. We shook our Sillies out to “Raffi’s” song and ended with Clap my Little Hands.  Our story for the day was in honor of Eric Carles’ 40th anniversary of the “Very Hungry Caterpillar.”  After the story and craft a tour of the library was given.

Thanks to the teachers, and parents and a very well behaved group of children.

Support Your Local Library March 23, 2009

Now that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) has been signed into law, the work to restore our economic stability will become a national priority. It has been documented that Florida libraries play a significant role in supporting the economy through a multitude of services including résumé building, online job searching, and free classes. In addition, Florida’s Return on Investment study found the following:

· Florida’s public libraries return $6.54 for every $1.00 invested.

 · For every $6,488 of public support (federal, state, and local), one job is created.

· For every dollar of taxpayer support for public libraries in Florida, Gross Regional Product increases by $9.08.

· For every dollar of taxpayer support for public libraries in Florida, income (wages) increases by $12.66.

Visit the State Library and Archives of Florida’s Economic Recovery Wiki for additional information about ARRA; to see how libraries are involved; and to contribute information on what your library and community are doing.
