“The man who does not read..."

"...has no advantage over the man who cannot read.” says one of my favorite authors and humorist, Mark Twain.

Of course, the Hannibal native is correct. If you don't read, then you won't get much further than the man who can't read.

It's a good thing the library is here to help! We have e-books, paperbacks, hardbacks, audiobooks and friendly librarians to help you out.

We are also still having our Summer Reading Program from June 19-July 26, 2014. Sadly, we only have three signed up so far and I would like more students to stop by and read this summer. Please call or stop by to get more info on our program. (618-965-9732)

I can't say there is a lot of excitement in library world today. I ran the desk this morning and we have had a fair amount of people coming in to ask for computer help, faxes and to browse the collection. GED classes are still underway and the last day of classes is June 19th. I will keep you posted about GED startup days in the fall.

I will start hunting for teen books next week! Please e-mail me (director.svplib@gmail.com) or call (618-965-9732) or leave a note in the drop box, leave a note at the desk or post a comment on our facebook page if you have a title you think the library must have now. I can't read minds (though between you and me, my eldest daughter is convinced that I do.) so please let me know. This goes for adults as well. I have a new order for next month coming up and I can always use suggestions.

That's all for today SAPL peeps!

Yours in Mark Twain quotes,

Sarah
