Home My WebLink AboutSeptember 4, 1979COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PUBLIC LIBRARY Report September 4, 1979 The month of August brought the end of summer programs for the children's department. Everyone who completed at lea~t the min(mum requirements for reading club was invited to a celebration picnic. Unfortunately, the weather did not co- operate with Jo, and her oriqinal plans for a Lake George outing had to be changed to a trip to Como Zoo and lunch followed by games back at the library. A record 159 children were invited out of 359 who originally joined, and the llO children who actually went seemed to enjoy themselves immensely in spite of the rain. The top readers for lg7g were: Beginning: Dan Keller - 430 books Advanced: Mike Johnston - 125 books Special thanks go to all the many people who helped make the picnic a success. Three weeks of preschool crafts also drew a good response, with about 40 children each week. They painted metal cans; decorated silver tubes with stars and rick- rack; and made aquariums out of paper plates. The movie, "Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein" was seen by 287 children, and Mel Brooks' "The Twelve Chairs" was viewed by 33 adults on August 15. Thanks to Pat Jindra, Bernice McDonald, and Mae Super for the zucchini bars they baked for the August senior citizen meeting. The Second Annual Unannounced, Unadvertized Book Sale was a grand event. The announcements in the Post, the Sun, and the City's bulletin board brought many people out to peruse the l'ibrary's discards and assorted donations. The pages ~;~joyed wheeling and dealing on prices for large quantity purchases, and the weather gave us one day of sunshine and one of rain. Due to many requests, the library acquired some out-of-state phone books. The list included: Chicago {white, yellow), Dallas (white), Las Veqas {white, yellow), Los Angeles (white, yellow), Miami (white), New York (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, World Trade Area), Phoenix (white), and St. Louis (white). They may be used at the library during regularly scheduled hours. Fall schedule will start the week of Labor Day, and the library will be open on Saturdays from g a.m. to 1 p.m. starting September 8. Also, pre-registration for fall preschool story hour will be taken starting September 4. Any Friends who are interested in the workshop in Stillwater and who have not yet made a reservation with Mary, are urged to call 788-3924 and make a reservation soon. Becky would like to thank all the pages for the outstanding job they did for the library this summer. They worked on many projects and deported themselves well. We are looking forward to a productive year with them.
