Dig Into Reading Week #5

Just one more week to Dig Into Reading at your library.  Don't miss the fun -Miss Roxanne has something planned for all ages, from "Digging into Planets" with preschoolers to meditating with teens, ending the week with Friday's Summer Reading Finale Picnic. 

More Dig Into Reading Fun This Week

We're digging, building, making journals, watching movies, and sharing books.  Don't miss week #4!

Family Program This Friday

‘Klondike Dave’ is a gold prospector from the Old West who’s sure there’s some sort of treasure buried at each and every library, and he’s determined to dig it up! Want to help him find it? Join us in our new community room at 1 p.m. this Friday! (Photo by Sarah Blodgett)

This program is presented as part of a Family Literacy Grant available to Library Systems through the New York State Library.

Library Board Meets Thursday

The Sodus Community Library Board of Trustees' monthly meeting will be held at 4 p.m. this Thursday, August 8th.  Board meetings are open to the public.

It's not too late to sign up for our summer reading program.  Come Dig Into Reading with us!

Bubble Day Thursday

Always a favorite for our summer readers, Bubble Day will start at 11 a.m. this Thursday, July 25th, in the library's front yard.  Come make beautiful rainbow bubbles with us!

Wildlife Defenders Visit Tuesday

Tomorrow - Tuesday, July 23rd - we have the Wildlife Defenders coming at 2:30 to present their "Dig Into Reading" program as part of a Family Literacy Grant awarded to the Pioneer Library System through the New York State Library.  Join us for this free family program, the first in our new Community Room!

We're Open!

Stop by to see us during our regular hours this week.  We officially reopened this morning at 10 a.m. and enjoyed all the wonderful comments from those who stopped by.

Update on Reopening

We tried very hard to keep to our tentative reopening date of July 15th.  Unfortunately, there is just way too much to be done before we can safely open to the public, and we have had to move that date to July 22nd.  We will adjust all due dates so that no fines will accumulate next week.

Summer Reading will also be delayed by a week, with registration and programming starting at 10 a.m. when we open on the 22nd.  The book drop will remain closed next week, so please hold your books until we're open.  If you'd prefer, you can always drop them off at one of our neighbor libraries.

We're sorry for the inconvenience, but hope you'll continue to be patient for just a bit longer.  We've missed you all, and look forward to seeing you the week of the 22nd!

Library Board Meets Thursday

The annual meeting of the Sodus Community Library's Board of Trustees will take place at 4 p.m.  on Thursday, July 11th, with the Board's monthly meeting immediately following.  Please note that these meetings will be held at the Reliant Community Federal Credit Union, 10 Benton Place.  Board meetings are open to the public.

Have a Safe and Happy Holiday!

Dig Into Reading

We usually start Summer Reading registration the week of July 4th, but due to construction we will not be able to do that this year.  Miss Roxanne is working on some great programs, and we'll get all the information out to you as soon as we're ready to Dig Into Reading!

Reminder

Please remember - the library is currently a construction site and there is no access to the driveway, the book drop, or any part of the building.  If you have something out from another library, please return it to one of our neighboring libraries and they will send it back "home."  If you have something out from Sodus, please hold onto it until we reopen.  We will not charge any fines for days we are closed.

Friends Meeting Tuesday

The Friends of the Sodus Community Library will meet at 1:30 p.m. this Tuesday, June 18th, at the Church of the Epiphany Parish Center.  Come join us!

Library Board Meets Thursday

The Sodus Community Library Board of Trustees monthly meeting will be held at 4 p.m. this Thursday, June 13th, at the Reliant Community Federal Credit Union, 10 Benton Place.  Board meetings are open to the public.

It's Official!

We closed at 8 p.m. last night, and hope to re-open on July 15th.  The driveway and bookdrop are closed. If you have anything to return, you will need to go to one of our neighboring Wayne County libraries.  If you have an outstanding hold, you can access your OWWL account online and edit the pickup location to one of those libraries.  Please be aware that you will need to present your library card to be able to check out items at most of these libraries.

Successful Vote

Thanks to all who voted yesterday!  Our budget passed 60 to 12, and John Cook and Mary Sue Switzer were each elected to a five-year Trustee term.  We sincerely appreciate your support.
