Each year, Hoesch Memorial Public Library hosts a six-week summer reading program to encourage early literacy and foster a love of reading for all ages. This year’s theme is “Adventures at Your Library.” We are planning exciting programming and prizes based on this theme, including adventures in the woods, traveling, problem-solving, adventures in the kitchen, and things that glow in the dark.
As we have a budget, we would like to put out a call for prize donations related to the adventure theme. We are looking for new items such as camping and fishing gear, cooking or baking utensils, glow-in-the-dark items, puzzles, and games. We will have separate prize baskets for each age group, from babies to adults.
If you wish to donate, please contact Keri Anderson at the library.
The NCBVI – Nebraska Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired (Through the Nebraska Library Commission) has provided us with an ONYX Deskset Video Magnifier. “The 3-in-1 flexible camera provides document reading, distance viewing, and self-viewing modes with versatile controls, adapting from one viewing situation to the next as quickly as you do.” “The large working space under the camera provides more room to turn pages, write, and work with crafts.” For more information please visit the library or go to https://nanopac.com/lowvision/magnifiers/transportable/onyx-deskset-hd-portable-video-magnifier/
