National Library Week and many other activities

National Library Week is one of my favorite times of the year! At our library we have lunch each day with a featured speaker. We had 3 authors scheduled and two special speakers. One of the things that has happened the last three years is a snow storm right in the middle of National Library Week.

Thursday morning we had blowing snow and our author could not get to us from their location 2 hours away. When snow blows across our highways sometimes you can not see where the side of the road begins.

Since I did not want our author getting herself killed, I advised her to stay home. Hence, I began working to put together a program about new and interesting books that we were adding or had added recently.

It was a fun morning. Really, the whole program went well and I enjoyed sharing with everyone in the audience. We had about 45 people in attendance. I am especially delighted when patrons share their best reads, which did happen. 

Here is a copy of our discussion: It is entitled, "NLW -April 18, 2013, Melany Wilks, Library Director speaks impromptu on titles.   http://youtu.be/kj68RAJqEPo.

The rest of them will be placed on our PML website in a few days located at http://www.colbylibrary.com.
