July 2005 Newsletter

Come see our new patio!

      We have added a new patio of landscape bricks and a round table. New benches

 are on the way. Many, many thanks to the volunteers who have made this project possible!!! We plan to have the patio fill the entire front section eventually, so if you would care

to contribute, we ARE accepting donations!  The courtyard is also more attractive with

the flowers our Second Saturday Club grew!

Surry County has replaced our very out-dated, broken air conditioner. Come in and

browse the shelves for books, DVDs, CDs, videos, and magazines in cool comfort!  Our

 high speed internet makes computer projects go lots faster, too!

We are trying to start a collection of Surry County yearbooks (ALL schools!) for

our reference section. If you know anyone who will donate old annuals, please contact us!

The Claremont Library now has 2 new employees – Terrie Foster and Patty Hertzler

will begin subbing for the Blackwater System in July.

The current library newsletter can be viewed, and old newsletters are archived on the website www.claremont-va.org

We now keep a list in the library of projects for volunteers. Make yourself feel good and do something nice for your community! There’s always a need for Volunteers!

Crochet Club, for novices as well as experienced crocheters, meets Mondays at 5:00.

 

The library will be closed on Monday, July 4.

 

Summer Reading Program News

Summer Reading Programs are really exciting this year! Additionally, teens have their

own special agenda which, when completed, enters them into a drawing for an Ipod!  There are lots of ways for the kids to be entertained while continuing to learn new things over the summer. Stop by the library to pick up any SRP materials!

The following programs will be at the Town Hall Tuesdays from 10:00 – 11:00. Please don’t be late! Performers have a schedule they must follow for other libraries!
