Medieval Menagerie-Bookmobile-June 7th

Hi, all!

In an effort to spread the word about the upcoming program,"Medieval Menagerie", at Culver Park on Tuesday, June 7th at 2:00,would you please pass out Medieval Menagerie "tickets" to everyone who checks out? If you run low on tickets, there is a master sheet taped to the cabinet above the sink in the workroom.

FYI-this is an exotic animal show. The animals have been rescued and kept by a not-for-profit company. They would like donations of canned vegetables or fruit. This request is mentioned on the ticket. Donors will receive a small prize i.e. sticker for their generosity.

Thanks. Any questions? Ask Jody O.

Bookmobile Bunny Winner

Frank won the big purple bunny in a bookmobile raffle. The prize has his name hanging off it's neck and is on the bookmobile desk. Please take a photo.

THE EGGS ARE HERE!

There are 18 eggs in the incubator. Hatch date is expected to be Easter weekend. There are white leghorn chickens (white eggs) and "other" chicken breeds (brown eggs). We are having several "Igeekchicks" contests and programs. There are entry forms to guess the number of eggs that will hatch, which number will hatch first (the eggs are numbered), and a general raffle to win a stuffed chick. All of the prizes are on the shelf with the incubator. There is also an egg hunt contest. We are hiding 2 golden eggs in the library every week through April 23rd. If someone finds a golden egg, there will be a message inside telling them to bring it to the Circ Desk. They can redeem the golden egg for a little chick filled with jelly beans. This will be on the CD case. DO NOT LET THEM KEEP THE GOLDEN EGG! Please put the golden egg on Patti's desk. They are not allowed to win more than once.

Homer Township Administration Info Sheet

The Township Administration Office provided a packet of services that they offer to the residents of Homer Township. It will be located in one of the drawers in the black case at circ. Please take a look at it and familiarize yourself with their services.

NEW MAGNIFYING PRODUCT

We now have a "Vision Booster Magnifier" that is only a bit larger than a mouse. This is an accessibility product for the visually impaired. The software is on the computer in the middle of the Adult section that doesn't have Internet.

• The Magnifier plugs into the bottom USB on the front of the Hard Drive.


• There is a switch on its cord and an icon on the computer.

The box with the magnifier is on my desk till we find a permanent place for it. It will not be left on the computer.

See me for a demo. Jody
