National Library Week is April 14th to 20th,
a time to celebrate the contributions of libraries, librarians and library
workers in schools, campuses and communities nationwide. The theme for 2013 is Communities Matter @
Your Library.
Sterling Public Library will celebrate
the week in several ways. Our community
does matter at Sterling Public Library so we are kicking of the week with a
Food for Fines day on Monday, April 15th. Anyone with a fine can bring in one
nonperishable food item and get $3.00 taken off of their fines.
On Monday evening at 6:30
p.m. Curtis Mork, the Lego Guy, will provide a great program about his lego
collection. The program is good for
anyone who has an interest in legos. At
the end of the program everyone will have a chance to let their creation show
as they build with legos.
The library will offer an I
Spy game for kids and a scavenger hunt for young adults and adults all
week. Come in and participate in the
game and be entered in the drawing for Chamber Bucks. The library will have a special display during
the week of Colorado authors.
On Wednesday, April 17th
the computer lab will be set up to demonstrate the many e-sources the library
provides. Just of a few that will be
featured are Overdrive – the downloadable source for books, audios, videos and
more, EBSCO – a database with all types of information helpful to kids completing
school projects, someone wanting to know more about a medical condition or
someone working on their car, Heritage Quest – great for genealogy work and
Learning Express – the online test source.
These are just a few of the resources we will feature. You can drop in anytime and choose the source
or sources you want to learn more about.
Be sure to stop in and
celebrate with the staff at Sterling Public Library and learn about the many
library services we provide.
