Announcements            Updated on 23 August 2010

 

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.
