Katy Hanousek assisted patrons by frequently updating and monitoring the library's website and Facebook page. Two volunteers from the Friends of the Poynette Library delivered books to support our Pioneer Place community outreach. Our Summer Reading Program exceeded our past five years' totals with 364 registrants participating. Our SRP performer scheduled for July had to re-schedule. Our final SRP program will be held Aug. 13th (Columbia Co. Dive Squad), funded by the ALA-ARP grant. |
