Happy Birthday Bookmobile!We are celebrating the first year of bookmobile service at the Homer Township Public Library! This exciting outreach initiative brings library services and materials directly into our extensive Homer community. Happy first birthday Bookmobile!
Check out the fun pictures we have been posting of customers celebrating on the Rolling Library Branch.
Grants bring more to our community!
The Homer Library received a $150,000 grant award and the process of building a new state-of-the-art bookmobile bus began. Grant funding is a high priority. Successful grants fund new services, collections and programs for our fast-growing community. This is especially important as your Homer Library continues to operate at the original tax rate established 25-years ago, without any tax increase, ever.
I write many grants. Amazing things come from grant monies, including funding for: eight computers loaded with educational software, a Senior Health and Financial Fair, new Polish and Spanish materials, outreach to local businesses, free business and computer classes, and many more wonderful programs, books, and services. The bookmobile has a special place in my heart and is a fine example of an innovative service that without grant support could not have been undertaken. Our bus is simply amazing and I hope you will see (and enjoy!) it first-hand.
What's new on the bus?
Bookmobile Manager Jody Olivieri and library staff have done an outstanding job to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Rolling Library usage continues to rise thanks to all of YOU. New this summer the bookmobile will be featuring Stories in the Park and a Summer Reading Club. Other Summer Fun weekly events include: Wear Your Crazy Hat, Sports Fans, Bring Your Pet Aboard, and Christmas in July!
Come aboard to see what we can do for you.
And always feel free to tell me what's on your mind. I'd love to hear from you!
