Showing off the Goods

So we are doing our best here to persuade our patrons to read as much as possible. Reading can help your memory abilities, your vocabulary and your all around knowledge. To promote our books, the staff has done an excellent job at drawing attention to particular titles.

The Children's Section receives this attention as well. With so many great books to choose from, this helps parents narrow down the search at least a little.

Everywhere you look, there is a great book you can take home and read!

Mother Daughter Tea Success

Under the direction of our own Ms. Minter, the BFR Mother Daughter Tea of 2008 was a success! More than 50 patrons came to share some special time with the ones they love. With gorgeous decorations and smiles all around, the tea created an atmosphere of kindness and joy.

New Favorite! LibraryThing

LibraryThing can help you organize your list of books! For those of us who choose to use the public library on a regular basis, we can have a difficult time remembering which books we already read. This can be especially helpful when requesting titles without seeing the cover.

All you have to do is create a username and account and start loading in titles that you have read. My favorite part is that I can note which books in a series I still need to read. It is all right there added in by people in LibraryThing.

National Library Week!

Happy National Library Week everyone! We celebrate this week the facilities and the staff that provide information to 3rd graders, parents, young professionals and retirees. From the academic library to the business library to the public library, we should all enjoy the fact that we have a way to gain knowledge.

Please join our circle of knowledge!
