News from Salina Public Library

The Staff at Salina Public Library would like to thank everyone who has donated books, movies and sound recordings to the library. It is appreciated. We always like to add to our collection. In your spring cleaning efforts this year, if you run into any books, cds or movies that you may not want any longer. Think of us. Our arms are always open to donations of any kind. Thank for all that you have sone to help us.

Summer Reading is coming up really soon. We are excited to get started this year. This years theme is " Make a Splash @ your Library". We are going to have Gina Ogden direct the program this year. She has some great ideas for the kids. Summer reading will be held at the Aurora Park this year. With lots of water games and outside activities the park will be a good place to explore the SPLASH. Summer Reading will start June 9th at 1:00 p.m. Registration will begin May 24 th. We are hoping to rotate summer reading each year between the three towns involved. It has always been in Salina. We decided that maybe it would be a good idea to rotate. So this year it will be in Aurora . next year in Redmond and the next year back in Salina. We wil see how it works. We hope you all will like this idea and support us like you always have. Thanks

UTAH PIONEER DATA BASE TRAINING

on September 11, 2008, Brenda and Ronda went to Utah Valley University in Provo, Utah for a training on how to use the updates version of Utah Pioneer Data Base. Pioneer is supplied to libraries throughout the state by the Utah State Library.

We spent the day taking different classes. Learning how to do car repair, teach children new ways to find information to do homework assignments. We learned about how to access the new family history site. Heritage Quest. We learned how to use the new program called Overdrive. This is a program to daownload audiobooks onto an Mp3 Player from their library.
The books are checked out to you for two weeks then they are checked back in to Overdrive automatically. Its a great way to get books that your library may not have or may not have in audiobook. Come in to the library and check it out.

We learned a lot while we were there. We met new library friends and enjoyed the day.
Now we have learned lots of new things we are inviting patrons to come into the Library and let us show you the new things that are available on the new Utah Pioneer website.
