Laughter, Smiles, and a New Library Card

September 30, 2010

Laughter and smiles were everywhere on Wednesday, September 20th as the Grandview Branch hosted their 1st Annual Community Services Fair. Children were treated to a puppet show by Anitra Steele, and their parents learned about low cost and no cost services available to young families in and around our community. Everyone enjoyed refreshments, and had a chance to pick out a free book to take home with them. Many of them, like our new friend Chase Ashby, were able to sign up for their very first library card. We look forward to the many opportunities Chase will have in the years to come. The entire world has opened up to him - he has a library card!
 
The fair was a joint venture between the Grandview Branch and Parents as Teachers, with Grandview's Karen Hunter hosting this event. All Karen's hard work showed - the evening was a tremendous success! We are pleased with this year's results, and are already looking forward to next year.
