Atlanta Branch News

Can't believe the summer is almost over and the kids are back in school!  We had a great time with lots of special events and ended the summer with a bang-a "Back-to-School" Party. We had about 35 people who showed up for the festivities (or maybe it was the root beer floats!)

On Monday, September 21st from 6:00 - 7:00 PM we'll be having an open house for our new computer lab.  Atlanta is very excited about being able to offer nine Internet-accessible computers, as well as a preschool computer equipped with stories, games and read-along activities. We also have Wi-Fi access for our lap top users. 

We are in the process of expanding our music CD selection and welcome your input. Who are your favorite artists and what are your favorite songs? What type of CDs would you want to check out? We want to hear from you!

We are also asking you to share your thoughts and ideas with us as we put together our fall calendar. What types of events and programs would you like to see come to Atlanta?  Do you want some of your favorite ones back or are you ready for something new and different, or maybe a combination of both?  Stop by, call or email Mary (mpalmiero@hnpl.lib.in.us) or Cindy (cburgin@hnpl.lib.in.us) and let us know how we can better serve you.

See you at the Friends of the Library Book Sale in Atlanta during the Earth Festival!
