Crowell Library’s Open House

A
recent Pew Internet survey found that most Americans know where their local
library is, but many are unfamiliar with all the services they offer.* On
Saturday, January 25th, Crowell Public Library will demonstrate for
its community the amazing selection of services and programs it has to offer
when the library celebrates is sixth anniversary with an open house. For those
who haven’t visited a library in awhile, surprises will be abundant.  With the help of
the Library Foundation and the Friends of the Library, Crowell will toot its
own big horn from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.  The library has programs for seniors, teens
and kids, cultural programs, historical programs, passport acceptance, test
proctoring and local art on display.  During
the Open House there will be demonstrations on how to use the Library’s
databases and online applications that help patrons with tests, finding a job, downloading
an ebook, finding money for college, learning a language as well as finding a
good book to read.  Visitors will be equally
impressed with the selection of DVDs and CDs available for checkout.

At noon, the Library’s Foundation will announce the annual bookmark
contest winners and then the Friends of the Library will present the titles and
authors in their 2014 Meet the Authors
series. This year they have expanded from One Book, One City to Four Books, One
City.  It just keeps getting better!  Local vendors will be offering snacks and
treats and the Friends Book Shoppe will have a 25% off everything sale:  an enticement at every turn, inside the
Library and out in the patio.

An Open House is the perfect way to demonstrate how Crowell Public Library
has something for everyone. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about and appreciate
the local institution whose goal is to provide a gathering place, an information center, a
technology hub, and a book and media collection to serve the educational,
cultural, and recreational interests of people of all ages.
