Next Monthly Membership Meeting
The next meeting of the Society will be held on Tuesday,
September 14th 2010 at 7:30 pm. The meeting will be held in the St. Martins
Community on Main Street in St. Martins. The programme for the evening
will be announced soon. A light lunch will be served following the
meeting. Members are reminded that the Society observes a "scent free"
policy at its meetings.
Summer Hours for the Library
The Carson Library will be open from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
every day except Sundays throughout the summer.
New Sign Donated
Our visibility on Main Street was much enhanced last week
with donation of a new sign out near the curb. For the first time, our
curbside sign mentions the existence of the Carson Library. The sign was
built and donated by Darren Knox and installed by Jody and Eugene Clayton.
Library In Transition
There is an old saw about how "...before things can get
better, they have to get worse." This certainly seems obvious to regular patrons
of the Carson Library. Through the winter the building was dirty and in
disarray because of the construction of the extension. The purpose of the
extension is to provide more shelving space for our growing collection.
However, the shelving has not yet been built so the overflow of books remains
stacked here and there throughout the original portion of the building.
Librarian's Advisory Committee
On 1 June 2010 the Board of the Society announced the
creation of a Librarian's Advisory Committee. The committee will be
chaired by the Librarian and will consist of Jackie Bartlett, Jane Parsons and
Rick Willick. The Committee held its first meeting on July 12th. |
