Got slogans?

We're thinking about coming up with a product line for BPL with coffee cups, T-shirts, and souvenir type things to sell at special events.  We need ideas!  Creative is good.  Give your ideas to Janice and maybe you'll see it on a cup! For example, Don has done a great sketch of a book behind bars and the slogan "I Got Booked at the Bristol Public Library!"  Winner will receive a wooden nickel, good for a free soft drink from the gift shop!


From this week's Nevermore Book Club:

Tutor Wanted, Ice Cream Social & More!

 Advance August Alerts

To make life a bit easier for some of our patrons, there are several days in August when books will NOT be due even thought the library is open.  Astonishingly, these dates coincide with the date for the Mumford and Sons event the second weekend in August and Food City Family Race Night the fourth week in August. If you have a puzzled patron wondering why a book's due date is, say, August 13 instead of August 11, that's the reason.

MS Word Tutor Wanted

A patron is looking for someone to tutor him on MS Word. He can type, but is having some trouble with some formatting.  He is willing to pay for tutoring.  He is aware of the services at the Literacy Academy but would prefer to work with someone one on one.  If you're interested or know someone who would be interested, please see Jeanne in Reference.

Ice Cream Social

Janice is hosting an Ice Cream Social in the Staff Kitchen on Tuesday, July 17 from 2:00 pm-3:00 pm. So come eat ice cream & be social!

Happy Birthday

 Racin' into August

Even though it's not yet August, it certainly feels like August out, so this is as good a time as any to mention that on Thursday, August 23, the annual Food City Family Race Night will be forcing some changes in parking around the library.  It appears now that the major closure will be the lot across from Main on Goode Street but as long-time employees know, parking is always a bit of an issue during Race Night.

Turkish Delight

Welcome back to Jud! Be sure to ask him about his adventures in Turkey. He's posted some wonderful pictures at his Facebook page.  In the meantime, he has a question for all of us:  What is the significance of the magnet he brought back? 

Tell Jud what it is and your name will be entered into a drawing for a one of a kind woven Turkish mousepad!

By the way, do remember that staffers can also be patrons and utilize the library's resources. 

Happy Birthday
