Thank you to those who came to our book fair. Your support and enthusiasm for reading is so fun to watch. Winners of the prize baskets are Deann Fleck-adult basket, Finley Peterson-elementary basket, and Joselyn Mooney-preschool basket. Thank you to the 4th Street Coffeehouse and Yungdahl’s Apothecary for your contributions to the baskets.

We’ve been having a lot of fun in our Senior Computing class on Mondays in April. Next week will be our last session as we cover the website, Techboomers.com. This is a great website to explore no matter your level of experience on the computer and internet. Techboomers.com is a tuturoial website that covers a variety of interests and computer basics. The other day I wondered about this “Groupon” thing I’m always hearing about and decided to see if Techboomers had a tutorial on the site. They did and I learned what I needed to know to make an informed decision about using the site.

The Senior Computing class was formed because a group of people let us know what they wanted. If there is something you’d like to see the library do; a program we could hold, a class to teach, materials to order, please don’t hesitate to ask us. If we feel there is enough interest, we will do all we can to make it happen.

New materials this week include “Stars of Fortune” by Nora Roberts, “Take This Cup” by Brock and Bodie Thoene, “Me Before You” as well as “After You” by Jojo Moyes, “The Obsession” by Nora Roberts and “Private Paris” by James Patterson.

Celebrate Read-Aloud Week at the Stromsburg Public Library

Research has shown that reading aloud to your child every day is vitally important to their reading readiness and success in school. Fifteen minutes each day is all it takes to help your children achieve their goals.

Bring your children to the Stromsburg Public Library Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday this week as we participate in Nebraska’s Read-Aloud month. We are reading out loud to the children for 15 minutes from the book, “Francine Poulet Meets the Ghost Racoon” by Kate DiCamillo.  This is a chapter book, so younger children may not be as interested as those who are already in school or preschool, but all are welcome to attend!
