Poetry Friday Comment

Well, it isn't Friday and it has been nearly a month since I last posted to this blog. In the past month the library has held an open house and a number of summer reading programs. It is a busy time at the library. If you haven't visited in a while stop in and check us out.

And speaking of programming.

Summer Safari storytime continues in Smokey Bear Park on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 p.m. Join us for 30 - 40 minutes of stories, games and more.

This Thursday the library will celebrate the world of Harry Potter. The fifth movie was released last week and the final book comes out on Saturday. If you have kids anticipating the release of the final book bring them on down to the library at 1:00 p.m on Thursday for fun playing jeopardy, library quidditch and making wands, wizards and rings.

This morning I received a call from a gentleman who in the process of search out family history on the Internet ran across the blog posting from May regarding a Poetry Friday. The poem was by his grandfather and he wanted to know if we had any more poems by his grandfather and if we had a biography. I wasn't able to find anymore poems by the grandfather, but one of the sons had two poems published in the same volume and both had brief biographies available in the anthology.

It was fun to be able to help this gentleman and send him the information I could find. Let us know if you have needs for information that we might be able to help with. We love helping answer questions.
