September 2020
Director's Note
Welcome back students! It feels like it is a new year (or a continuation of a really long year!). At our public library we serve so many students that it seems like we only have two seasons- School and Summer Reading. This year is very different in so many ways but the staff and I at the public library are excited to see students back to school (in person or virtually!)
Speaking of virtually… all of our programs are going to continue to be in a virtual format for the time being. We know that some of you might have ‘virtual fatigue’ and I get it! But I hope that you will take a look at the newsletter below and see something fun you might enjoy. And as always- check out our Facebook page to get the most up to date information.
Covid-19 and the Derecho have been tough on our community and those around us. We are grateful that the Carlisle Public Library has been awarded an emergency grant by the Warren County Philanthropic Partnership to purchase 5 Hotspots. Our hope is that with these hotspots Carlisle area students can use the internet during distance learning or for homework and projects. Employees will be able to travel with reliable internet access to meetings and presentations, and patrons can have home access to the library’s digital resources such as databases, eBooks and downloadable audio. If you need a hotspot please stop in and we can get you going!
Thank you to all that participated in our 2020 Summer Reading Program! Though it was not a normal summer reading program by any means, we are so happy that we were able to quickly find a digital platform to accommodate our social distancing needs. We can’t say what next summer will look like but we will be ready to discover the best way to get books into your hands and provide the best programs!
Have a great September!
