News from Metheringham Library Spring 2010

Are you aware that there is a diary in the library foyer where you can publicize village events? It does help, particularly with fund-raising groups who can then plan ahead and so not clash with other organizations with similar plans. You are welcome to enter the details in the diary yourself.

Again I'd like to make a plea for more pre-school children to come to story time. I know that the one little girl who does come regularly, likes to have Jacki as her personal story teller but it would be good to see a few more children. The regular story sessions are every Friday 2.15 to 2.45 but we also plan to have more themed events.

A new computer course covering Presentations and Microsoft Publisher started in January but we do have an ongoing waiting list for the Lincoln College IT courses and are willing to take names to pass on to the College staff. The courses available at the library are: Internet and Email & Word Processing. Presentations & Microsoft Publisher. Spreadsheets & Databases. Introduction to Digital Photography & Digital Photograph Editing.

So if you have some idea of which course interests you, we can pass on your details to the College.

We are hoping to have a big book sale of discarded items in the near future so watch out for the publicity posters.

You may have noticed that the containers at the base of the green trellis in front of the library have now been planted up, so once the growing season starts we may well disappear behind a mass of foliage!
