New Year, New-ish Programs

Turon Community Library Posted on January 14, 2023 by LibraryStaffJanuary 25, 2023

We have been very busy trying to plan for 2023. We want to learn from 2022, looking at what went really well, but also stepping back and seeing what needs improvement.

After taking a few months off to evaluate, assess, and plan, we are excited to start rolling out programs for 2023.

The first two are resurrections from our recent past, Art Sessions and Story Time. Story time is a library staple that won’t be going away any time soon, and Art Sessions are becoming a staple for our library.

We have changed the time and format a little bit. Story time is now open to all children. The activities are still going to be easy and engaging for the younger kids, but the big kids are encouraged to come and participate as long as they can be good sports. Story time will begin Saturday Feb 4 at 11am and continue every Saturday at 11 though March 11.

Art Sessions are open to any student K-12. They are going to be geared for older elementary students, but adaptable for kids on both ends of the spectrum. The activities will still be guided, but there will be more structure and a story involved. (Hopefully a snack as well, since the kiddos asked for one at every single Art Session last time.) Art Sessions begin Thursday, February 2 at 4:30 and will continue every Thursday through March 9.

We are developing new adult and teen programs as well, so stay tuned for more information. Be sure to check the calendar for more information.

Do you have program ideas? It there a topic or an area in which you feel the library could provide information or develop programs to help out the community. We are here to serve the educational and informational needs of the community, so let us know what interests you and how we can better serve you. We welcome all ideas!

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town!

Turon Community Library Posted on November 23, 2022 by LibraryStaffNovember 23, 2022

Turon Community Library is proud to sponsor Turon’s annual Christmas parade and party this year. Join us for festivities on December 10th beginning at 1pm.

Community members can line the streets to watch the Christmas parade, and then meet in the gym at the community building to see Santa! There will be refreshments to enjoy while you wait your turn, provided by gracious community volunteers, for whom we are exceedingly grateful.

Like previous years, every child will get to greet Santa and receive a special treat from him. However this year, families can chose to have photos taken with Santa in front of a professional backdrop for a small price. All proceeds will go back to the library, helping us serve the literacy and informational needs of our community, and ensuring we can continue to sponsor community events such as this.

We will also have a Literacy Tree! It is a Christmas tree with tags families can take. Each tag will have a book from the library’s wish list. The books requested are missing titles from series, or books that have been requested by patrons, or books that fill identified gaps in the library’s collection. You simply take the tag, acquire the book, and bring it to the library. The books do not have to be new. You may even recognize a title you have sitting at home. That is perfect! This is just a way to let our community know what we need, and ensure we aren’t getting 47 copies of the same book. Not that we wouldn’t find good homes or make good use of them, but we would prefer to keep it simple.
