“Let us dare to read, think, speak and write...” ~ John Adams JULY 2018

Our New Director

Most of you know that Michele Lawson retired from

the Bell County Public Library System on June 30,

2018, after 37 years of service. She was serving as

Acting Director since February 2014, when Beverly

Greene passed away, but had performed many jobs

during her tenure. She will be greatly missed. The

Board of Trustees feels confident in its hiring of a

new director that will carry on the business of the

library and its mission in our community.

Introducing Jeanna Cornett:

“I’m Jeanna and I’m so

happy to be your new library

director! Although I’m new

to most of you, I’ve worked

with Bell County’s libraries,

librarians and trustees as a

regional librarian for the

Kentucky Department for

Libraries and Archives since 2006, and lived in Bell

County while attending Lincoln Memorial

University. My favorite book in our library’s

collection is Mystery Train by Greil Marcus – you

can find it in our Overdrive e-book collection!”

A Big THANK

YOU to the Youth

Group and leaders

from Edgewood

Baptist Church,

Nicholasville, KY,

for weeding all of

the landscaped

areas around the

Pineville-Bell County Library as a service project!

They were staying at Clear Creek Baptist Bible

College for a Youth Camp.

The Middlesborough Garden Club donated the book,

“Succulent Container Gardens,” to the Middlesboro

Library during National Garden Week. Their display of

succulent plants was very creative. Thank You!

Pictures from Summer Reading can

be found on Page 7 and the Insert.

Where has Miss Piddle and the

Bookmobile been lately?

You can find out on Page 3!

Good Reads! Good News!

It’s not too late to sign-up and join us for a summer of “Libraries Rock!” Come by the

Library and check it out. You can participate by reading books or audio books, participating in

weekly library activities and /or programs such as book discussions or movie events, attending

local music concerts (ie: Levitt Pavilion Summer series, and other venues), exploring displays

and exhibits at the local history museum, craft sessions, and coloring contests!

After 13 years of working together as Adult

discussion that Michele Lawson helped

Pam Blank lead as an employee of the Bell

County Public Library District. In October,

she is planning on helping with book clubs

as a “bona fide” volunteer! Until then she

will participate as a patron of long-standing

– 37 years!
