Letter from the Director

Dear Residents,
The weathermen sure can predict a heat wave, and this summer has been a record breaker.

Fortunately, it’s also been a record breaker in your library’s Children’s Room. The librarians predicted the “Dig Into Reading” program would be a success, and they were right. This summer, hundreds of children read thousands of pages; plus, they learned about our natural world of wonder found all around us in the air, land, and water.

Dear Residents,

This summer, hundreds of children read thousands of pages; plus, they learned about our natural world of wonder found all around us in the air, land, and water.

Adults joined the fun this summer too, with a virtual book review program and meet-up to share stories. If you like writing brief reviews, please let the Information Services librarians show you how we can all share our favorite authors, characters, and stories all year long.

Please plan to attend an extra-special event on October 20, when we’ll meet our friends and neighbors to learn about their outreach efforts in Haiti. See page 5 of the September/October newsletter for more details.

We are introducing a couple of new programs this fall. Teens’ Night Out begins on October 11. This new event on Friday nights will allow our teens a chance to gather in a social setting and participate in really cool projects. For details, call Miss Kate. Our little ones enjoy the blocks, puzzles, and other toys in the Children’s Room, and we have now added a Bouncing Babies Storytime for children ages birth-13 months that will be led by Miss Diane on Mondays.

During the school year, parents and students juggle schedules filled with study time and extracurricular activities. Your library has 24/7 access to many resources to help you earn an A+. Visit www.cshlibrary.org and click on “Online Resources” or download our mobile app, which will launch later this year.

Meanwhile, the next time you stop by, pick up your new digital library card, and let our helpful Circulation Staff show you how to update your account, add a username, receive text alerts, or even keep track of your reading history.
