The children's department will be taking registration for pre-school story hour up through October 6 and for Tiny
Tot Story Time up through October 15. Children must be 3 ½ and 2 ½ years old respectively for participating in
these programs.
Thanks go to Nancy Rathbun, Stephanie Rose and Kay Reiners for the chocolate oatmeal bars they baked for the
September senior citizen program. Mr. Loren Niemi presented a special program, "Once upon a time: Myths,
Fairytales and Legends for Adults," as part of the Minnesota Association of Library Friends 1981 Chautauqua
series. The Friends received their long awaited cookbooks and are offering them for sale at $4.00 each to all
interested parties. Funds raised will be used for projects of benefit to the library. The Friends were also the
recipient of a generous gift from Mr. and Mrs. John S. White in appreciation of the library over the years. The
November Senior Citizen program will be held on Thursday, November 12 at 2:00 p.m. because the library will be
closed in observance of a holiday on Wednesday, November 11. The Friends sponsored a salad luncheon on
September 14 and served 72 people with some extremely delicious food. If you are interested in a cookbook or in
joining the Friends, please contact Helen Merrick at 788-8318.
The library has received the 1981 Polk Directory for the Minneapolis suburbs, and it is ready for use in the
reference collection. Teleprompter, the company which is bidding on the cable franchise in Columbia
Heights/Hilltop, has prepared a brochure What's Cable TV? which summarizes their three volume proposal. This
brochure is available at no charge in the library's pamphlet rack. New editions of the World Book Encyclopedia
and Childcraft have been ordered and will be added to the reference collection soon. The library's new Olivetti
electronic typewriter has arrived and Darlene and Gloria are learning quickly about all its special functions. Plans
for a demonstration for interested City employees are being made.
Becky attended a cable tv workshop September 11, and Jo attended a cable tv production workshop on September
12. The workshop gave them an idea of what the library could do with cable and what other organizations have
already done.
The library staff is encouraging all people who support libraries to write to their congressmen. In this time of
economic depression, libraries have been marked as a luxury item, which are not necessary in society. It is time for
all those who support libraries and their role in society to speak out and to let your congressmen know where the
public stands. If you need help finding the address of your congressmen or in phrasing your letter, please call the
library at 788-3924.
