We are gearing up for the Summer Reading Program. This year we are trying something a bit different. Every Wednesday morning at 10:00 in the month of June will be our Friends- sponsored Summer Reading Program for kids aged four to ten (or so). The State Library gives us logs for our patrons to list how much time they spend reading, and/or how many books they read. On the last Wednesday in June, we collect the reading logs, total up times spent reading and/or number of books read, then have a prize give-away for our young patrons. (Every young patron present on the last Wednesday will receive a prize, but to get the really good prizes, you have to read and keep good records, and come to all the Summer Reading sessions. Plus, and most important, bring your reading logs the last day.) Then in July on Wednesday afternoons, from noon to 1:00 or 2:00 P.M. (still to be determined), we invite the teens, tweens, and adults to join our Summer Reading Program. We will show a (GP) movie or two, depending on demand, with other activities to follow. (Maybe even refreshments) We will also have reading logs for this group and prize give-aways for most books read and time spent reading. However, you will never know who the champ is unless you come to the library on Wednesdays in June and July! It’s nice and cool in the library, too.
Ann Kendrick, Director
We need new people to attend our Library Board meetings (fourth Tuesday of every odd numbered month… November 27th is very near!) at 6:30 P.M. and our Friends of the Library meetings (second Monday of each month at 7:30 P.M., except June and December). If you use the Everman Public Library, you need to attend some of these meetings! I am addressing you, who are reading this now! Please give a tiny bit of your time to your community library. We need you to help us make the library a better library for you.
Your librarian thanks all of the kind individuals who expressed their concern for her this spring and summer. |

Library Information
If any of you have DVD's or video movies that you do not
want, the library would be happy to take them off your hands!
We will also supply you with a donation receipt if you desire.
We also need any book, video, DVD or tape in Spanish if you
would like to help us out in the development of our Spanish
language collection. We have one ESL (English as a Second
Language) teacher, Juanita Dunlap, to whom we are most grateful!
But we need another person willing to teach an ESL class on
Wednesday evenings or Tuesday from noon to 1 PM. Please call
the library if you wish to volunteer.
The library staff wishes to extend our most heartfelt thanks
to those of you who have so generously given us the gift of
your time and assistance while we are in the midst of this
work. We have about 28,000 more books to scan, so if you want
to help, we'll have some left especially for you!
Please note - Bike racks are at the northwest end of the
library parking lot (remember to NOT park your car there).
- ESL (English as Second Language) classes on Thursday night
at 6:30 PM (classes en Ingles; Miercoles y Jueves ? 6:00 de
la tarde) (THIS DAY AND TIME HAS CHANGED !)
- Last but not least, we want to acknowledge all of our generous
patrons who have given us books, videos, DVD's, and other
materials, but we don't have room here for all the names.
We are VERY grateful to you!
