Member Shout Outs

One of my favorite parts of the day at the Annual Meeting is when we turn the microphone over to the members to hear about what great things are happening in your libraries. Here are just some of the neat things we learned on Friday....

North Florida Community College opened the Starbooks Patio, an area outside the library that provides students wi-fi access 24/7. It is a 'annex' to their Starbooks Internet Cafe.

The OverDrive Digital Bookmobile will be at the Arts Festival in Gainesville on November 8-9 to help the Alachua County Library District promote their downloadable e-books and audiobooks.

On October 9th, the Columbia County Public Library will begin a year long celebration leading up to their 50th Anniversary. The Library has seen an incredible increase in circulation and programming and anticipates a continual rise.

Union County Public Library broke ground on a new library building. Watch it grow.

Funds have been approved and an architect selected for the new library at Lake City Community College. They hope to begin construction early in 2009. Oh, their library director married our continuing education coordinator.
