ODCPL InformationThe Library...where all you need is imagination and a Library card to enter a world of information.

March 2011 Volume 13 Issue 03

Quote of the MonthThe door available to everyone that can lead

to happiness and success is the modest door

of the public library. I found it to be so in my

own life and work.

FROM THE DIRECTOR

March has finally arrived and has brought warmer

weather and longer days. We‟ve had a long seeminglyendless cold winter and we‟re ready to step outside into

the sunshine and beauty that spring brings. This is the

time to start thinking about planting flowers and enjoyingthe out of doors. We have an abundance of gardening

books for you to gain new ideas for your garden andplanting. In addition, we have our own Claybank Master

Gardeners that will warmly welcome you to their group.They meet each month and they maintain a bulletin boardinside the front entrance full of information. They are

responsible for keeping the Library‟s landscape lookingnice. Stop by the Library to check out what all we do

offer for spring.Spring break is the week of March 14 th and we have

planned activities for our children that we are sure they

will enjoy. On Tuesday, March 15 Louise Grider willreturn with her Owls of Alabama and she has set aside

time for the children to get up close to the birds and gentlypet them. On Wednesday, March 16th Landmark Park is

returning with their reptiles. Yes, they will bring their snakes for the children to pet! Then on Thursday, March17th Mark Seymour will entertain us with a program

entitled “Around the World with Drums and Music.” Thisgoes right along with Music in Our Schools Month.

Programs will be held in the West Wing of the Library at3:00 and are made possible by a grant from the Ft. Rucker Thrift Shop. Then on Saturday beginning at 9:00, we will

host the Pokémon State Championship Tournament for children, youth, and adults. The event is free to enter, fun

to play and you have the opportunity to win fantasticprizes. For more information, call the Library at774- 5480.

At the Friends of the Library Annual MembershipLuncheon, they installed new officers. The following will

serve during 2011: Elizabeth Babine, President; BrendaHarper, Vice President; Brenda Minton, Secretary; andElaine Potts, Treasurer. We look forward to another successful year.

We now have a small supply of income tax forms, but

we ask that you only take one booklet per family so wewill have enough for everyone. Once again, weencourage you to file online. Not only will it save you

time, but you will receive your refund much faster thanpaper filing.

FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY

According to the American Library Association, March6-12 is Teen Tech Week. The effort began in 2007 as partof a “Get Connected@your Library” initiative. The week focuses on getting youth and young adults to be „competentand ethical users of technologies, especially those offered

through libraries… Teens, in order to gain the skills neces-sary to compete in today's job market, need access to digital

and online information.‟ Your Library has all sorts of re-sources to help the young people that you know to reachthese goals. The Library offers a number of test preparation,

tutoring services, and homework help for students, some of which are listed at the Library‟s website, www.odcpl.com .

Computer terminals are available during the Library‟s hoursof operation and you only need a library card for access.

Come in to the Library or log on to the website to learnmore about the many student resources that are available.
