\nVideocassette<\/strong>
\nAs technology changes the Library’s collection evolves. The Library needs to reduce its videocassette collection to make room for additional DVDs. All videocassettes in the library will be available for purchase for a limited time starting September 1st. The videocassettes will be for sale at $2.00 each or five for $5.00. The funds raised from the sale will be used to purchase additional DVDs. The sale will run until September 30th.
\nNational Library Card Sign Up Month<\/strong>
\nSeptember is Library Card Sign Up Month. Getting a library card is very simple. Briggs Public Library serves the residents of the City of St. Johns, Bingham, Greenbush, Bengal, Dallas, Olive, Riley and Westphalia Townships. If you live in one of these governmental units you are eligible for a library card. All you need to do is stop by the Library with documentation of your current address, it could be a driver’s license or a bill, and fill out the registration forms.
\nParents need to complete the forms for minor children. A Library card provides children with books and technological resources to assist them in having a successful school year and Library cards are a wonderful tool to make use of in tough economic times.
\nConsider getting a card for yourself or your family members this month.
\nJr. Readers<\/strong>
\nRegistration for the Monday October 24th program from 7:00-8:00 pm opens Monday September 26th. The program is designed for youth ages 7-9. The title for the session will be announced soon and will be available for pick up at the Library desk. The program will include book discussion, a game, a craft and a snack.
\nGuessing Contest Winners<\/strong>:
\nErin Searles won a guessing contest with the correct guess of “46” animals from around the world. The following week the winner was Ryker Parsons who guessed the correct number of “19” feathers from the flock! Then sitting upon an isle was a monkey with a smile who found that there were “126” tropical umbrellas. The winners were Natalie LaBean and Justin Nurenberg who guessed 136. The final contest for the summer was guessing how many gold coins there were from afar and “171” was the correct number. The winners were Natalie LaBean and Justin Stewart who guessed the closest with 168. Congratulations to all our winners.<\/p>\n
