| LIBRARY NEWS | |||||||||
| Jodi Bailey was notified that Poynette Library was chosen to receive a $3,000 American Library Association (ALA) grant to be used to enhance the outdoor area behind the library. More details will be forthcoming later in April when an official ALA announcement is made. High Country Electric completed installation of the LED replacement bulbs in the main library. The electrician also added a data port in the Children's area (for our "card catalog" computer). The Strategic Plan Committee met to assist Jodi in preparing a survey that began April 1. Katy created a QR code link to the survey. We will continue to collect data through May 15. There were 21 Curbside pick-up appointments scheduled by patrons from March 1-31. | |||||||||
