The "Library Ladies" Bonnie Adams, Library Director and Paula Talbert, Outreach Librarian visited Prairie Meadows Senior Living Center to deliver bi-weekly library materials and had a small May Day program for the residents. We had eleven seniors decide what they wanted their May Baskets to look like and what special treats would go in the baskets.
Last year the library board and staff recognized that the library is not accessible to a variety of groups. Our Books On Wheels (BOW) program was launched in March of 2006 with two senior centers as our first focus groups and have since grown to include ten daycares and Opportunity Services. The library visits the two senior centers every two weeks with books, audio books, magazines, and other library materials and also present a small program for the seniors. We would also like to add any homebound to our list that we serve every two weeks.
If you know of anyone that would benefit from this service, please call us at the library 634-7615.
