Library Board brings the community to the library for 90th anniversary celebration

To: All the library board members, staff and volunteers
Good Job for engaging our community.

90th anniversary event was covered in Southwest Booster (December 11, 2008, pg A14, Library celebration), Prairie Post (December 12, 2008, pg 20, Library celebrates milestone), Gift of Learning proclamation (pictures of Library staff Linda, Hilary and Tekeyla, Southwest Booster, December 11, 2008, pg. A12) and the event was listed under community events for two weeks. Shaw cable covered this report and they will be making a documentary about the library as a community hub. During the event our CAP interns registered 18 participants for one-on-one computer training sessions, 9 people would like to share their memories for the digital stories project and 12 participants registered on the spot for seniors appreciation tea. More than 85 people attended the celebration - Mayor Sandy Larson, Fire Chief Bob Rindahl, and Dean Robson (Director Parks and Recreation).
