Esther Mason Retiring

After 4 years of dedicated

service at the Pineville

Library, Esther Mason’s

last day was Friday, April

29th

. She will be greatly

missed by the staff as well

as patrons. Esther was the

creator of the “Frugal

Fridays” program, which

was well-received. As

one of her co-workers

wrote, “We hope you have a wonderful

retirement and come by to see us from time to

time! We hope your life brings you as much as

enjoyment as you have given us.”

THANK YOU, ESTHER!

MAY 2015 Daily Holidays

MAY 2015 Monthly Holidays


1. A library is a place for beginnings.

Once upon a time, long ago and far away . . . Everything starts here.

2. A library is a place to chart your progress, meet your goals, and continue growing.

Every book you check out makes you a stronger reader, capable of great leaps and bounds.

Exercise your reading muscles.

3. You could win a prize. Reading is its own gift. You learn new words — wonderful words — and experience new things

through different characters. But libraries also want you to read as much as you can,

and there just might be special tokens to reward you for your hard work.

4. A library is a good place to hide. Maybe you’re trying to get out of helping with the dishes. Maybe you’re hoping

someone else will walk the dog. Every library I have ever been to has these amazing nooks

to curl up in with a book and . . . Just. Get. Lost.

5. Librarians like the company of readers. Librarians are like heroes to me. They are the gatekeepers to stories, and they always seem to know

how to pick just the right book for just the right person. I’ll bet they would know what you would like.

I’ll bet they would love the chance to help you figure it out.

6. Air-conditioning. Let’s face it: it is HOT in the summer. Tree-house reading is great, but what could be better than

pulling open a door to a rush of cool air and knowing that you can browse the stacks of fiction, nonfiction,

comics, and magazines and linger as long as you like?

7. You could make some real friends. Some of my best friends are huge readers. We recommend books to one another constantly

and talk about what we liked and what we didn’t like and what we plan to read next. They are true readers,

super readers, and kindred spirits. Stories connect us all.

8. You could make some virtual friends. I have thought many times that I could be friends with Fern and Wilbur and Charlotte.

You may have thought the same about Harry, Hermione, and Ron. We meet people in books.

Not real people, but sometimes the kind of people we’d like to be or would like to know.

9. It’s good to have a library card. A library card is like a membership card that says “You are welcome here.” You are welcome to pick a book,

many books, and read to your heart’s content. It says: You belong here.

10. If you want to go everywhere, experience everything, climb mountains, trek deserts, ride in a rocket, go to the moon — open a library book.

Not many of us can say we’ve done these things: traveled widely or had epic adventures,

faced down danger or fought bravely against injustice. But you can have those experiences through books —

and reading those stories will change you.


2016 Summer Reading Program

Traditionally, summer reading programs are designed to encourage elementary-aged children to keep

reading during summer vacation. Preventing the “summer slide” continues to be the main objective of

summer reading programs. For many families with elementary-aged children, the public library is the only

community space available during the summer months where they can access free educational and cultural

enrichment activities and programs.

The benefits of summer reading programming for children:

Children are motivated to read.

Children develop positive attitudes about reading, books, and the library.

Children maintain their reading skills during summer vacation.

Children have access to experiences that further their sense of discovery.

Children have access to experiences through which they can learn to work cooperatively.

Young people everywhere share a passion for play. This summer, we explore sports, games, and movement

through books, activities, science experiments, art projects, and more.

In addition to enjoying playing together, your children will gain knowledge and understanding of various

sports and games, including some they've never heard of before! They'll have the opportunity to challenge

themselves, try new things, and work together to set records. And of course... they will have the opportunity

to read some great books.

CHECK YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY for exact dates and times.
