SUMMER READING PROGRAM
Posted on May 4th, 2012 by librarian
The Mound City Library Summer Reading Program is scheduled for the week of June 4-8. The theme this year is “Dream Big, READ!” Reading activities, crafts, and special guests are being planned to correlate with this theme. The groups will be determined by the grade the students will enter in September. Tentatively, they are as follows:
*4 years old (a must) to kindergarten
*1st and 2nd grades
*3rd and 4th grades
*5th and 6th grades
*7th and 8th grades
The final schedule will be determined by the number of students enrolled. Enrollment information will be sent home at a later date from school, or you may enroll children by calling the library at 795-2788. We are hoping your child can come and “dream” with us!

MAY BOOK CLUB
Posted on May 3rd, 2012 by librarian
Our Boys, A Perfect Season on the Plains with the Smith Center Redmen by Joe Drape is the selection for May Book Club. A celebration of small-town values, Our Boys does for football what Hoosiers did for hoops. “It’s about the journey,” coach Roger Barta says. Although they live in the fifth-poorest county in the state, Barta wants his boys to “dream big.” Playing the game is easy, he proclaims, “but living for others is a lot harder.” If you are interested in joining the Mound City Library Book Club, call 795-2788 for more information. The club meets on the last Monday of each month.

Posted on May 3rd, 2012 by librarian
Recently, Lena Dick and Anita Troth traveled to Wichita, KS, to attend the KLA Annual Conference. While there, they listened to Keynote Speakers, R. David Lankes and KAKE News Reporter, Larry Hatteberg. Lena and Anita attended a space session pertaining to the upcoming summer reading program, “Dream Big”. The ladies attended “An Evening of Notable Books”, featuring the ten authors of the 2011 Kansas Notable Books List. Lena purchased three out of the ten books for our library. Also, they went to a session, “Keeping it Legal: Overview of the Kansas Open Meetings Act, Kansas Open Records Act, Children’s Internet Protection Act, and Fair Labor Standards Act”. All in all it was a most enjoyable time for Lena and Anita.

WISHING THE BEST!
Posted on March 29th, 2012 by librarian
As Doris and Ashlee Nation will be leaving the Mound City Library to become involved in their new enterprise, Nation Goods, they will no longer be part of our staff here. Their friendly personalities and ability to put a name with about every patron who walked through the door will be truly missed. The Mound City Library staff wishes the Nation Family the very best with their new business!
