We have been open for a month and a half and things are going along good. I’m still getting new books. I think that will slow down for awhile, but two I ordered won’t be available until September and one in October.
The Greene County Reads will be coming up September 17. Jan Scharingson will be the leader. The first session will be at 9 AM at the Paton Public Library. The second session will be at 2PM at the Grand Junction Public Library. The third session is in Jefferson at 7 PM at the Jefferson Community Golf Course Clubhouse, 501 W. Greenwood Road. I have one other Little Women book that can be checked out. I also have two related books and a DVD that can be checked out. Attend one discussion session of your choosing. They will be approx. an hour and a half in length. Light refreshments will be served. When you participate in any of the discussions, you may enter the drawing for a chance to win a copy of the book.
In person seating may be limited at each location due to Covid 19 guidelines. If you prefer to participate online, please give your email address to your library when you register and the Zoom link will be emailed to you prior to the discussion date. You must have Zoom software on your device to access the link.
I have been working on my annual Greene County report. I must say this has been a very different year! We didn’t get to do as many events as we usually do. Of course the patrons weren’t allowed in the library from the middle of March until July. We didn’t get to do the Teen movie or Kids Fest. The Greene County Library Association and the Greene County Supervisors made other things available to kids during the summer. The last thing was the Bubble Parade and that was fun. People have been coming in now for books and the computers. It still doesn’t seem normal.
School will be starting soon, and we just hope it goes well for the students and the teachers.
