Comments, Elections, and Bring a Friend!
It was brought to my attention that some of you may be having problems commenting on the blog--so here are the instructions. At the bottom of this post, where it says "posted by Melody" there is a number and the word comment. Just click on the word comment, and a new window will open. You will have the three options: Google/Blogger, other, and anonymous. Since most of you probably don't have a Google account, you should simply choose other or anonymous. When you choose other, you can use your name or not. We really aren't picky--we just want to hear from you! Then you can scroll up, write your comment or question in the text box, and then type the distorted text you see in the word verification box, and click on Publish your Comment.
In September we will have elections. If you are interested in running for office, please be at this meeting. And bring a friend to our meeting September 8 at 3pm. We have four officer positions: President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer.
I have had some great suggestions for programs, and would like to hear from you---so, tell me what you would like to do at the library! Would you like to learn origami? Share a book and make a sundae? Learn to knit or crochet? Make a duct tape project? Have an anime afternoon?If you like these ideas or have some of your own, let me know!!
