Welcome to Summer Reading Club 2010! The theme for this year is Share the Love. Read. This blog will coincide with the staff activity for Main Library staff. It will be a fun place to share experiences, success stories, and of course, our library love! We look forward to participation from as many staff as possible. Here's to a great SRC 2010!

Main Big SRC Winner


Congratulations to Chris Stein, Finance. Lucky Chris won a $70.00 American Express gift card. She visited every division, except one, during the 8 weeks of SRC. It really does pay to leave your division and visit your other friends at Main! Chris plans on using her windfall to buy a new battery for her laptop. Many thanks to everyone that participated in SRC at Main. It was a great summer.

Debbie Shaw in A&M is the lucky winner of several fine and treasured items from the Genealogy, History & Travel Division storehouse. We are convinced that the desk organizer is an original Louis the XIVth -- with the original finish. I think the Keno Brothers on Antiques Road Show will be finding Debbie in line the next time they are in Columbus. Unless I am mistaken, those are original tankards from an archaeological dig in Jamestown, Virginia.

VolunTeens--We Can't Live Without Them!

Sent to the CFD by the Friends organizer of the Summer In the Park Concert series:

Saturday we had the first of our summer concerts sponsored by FOL and presented by the Jazz Arts Group. It was a big success--almost too big--as we had to use the Main auditorium due to the weather, and the room was very, very crowded. We had the help of three Volunteens, Keith, Whitney and Justin, and they were invaluable. They helped us greet and settle the audience, kept count of the crowd and were there to troubleshoot. I'm so impressed with their maturity and initiative. Justin was especially helpful, and always so friendly.Thanks for sending these Volunteens our way.

Assisting with programs is just one activity our VolunTeens do. The most important, of course, is signing up customers for SRC. Quite honestly, though the VolunTeens do require some extra work, we couldn't live without them. If you see a VolunTeen, be sure to thank them for their help. I know they would appreciate the recognition.
