How to Setup Up an Orientation Program for New Activity Staff
You are correct Lyn most library’s do have games you can check out
If they don’t have them on hand they can often get them from another library
Of course you may have to wait depending on where they get the game from
Our library has outdoor game to checkout. Most work just fine Indoor: ring toss, giant jenga, corn hole, miniature bowling (set upon table), etc. No need to buy or find storage space ... just check out then return☺.
Thanks for sharing Lyn! I love this option, especially since it cuts out the storage responsibility on our end at the community.
I thought you might enjoy this picture of our Memory Café poetry event in the Library on the Isles of Scilly UK as part of Art Scilly week and this year’s cultural festival. They hold regular ‘Telling Tales’ and a children’s reading corner too and various authors have visited to run workshops, tell us about their books and lives. Great location and a busy place.
Wow! This looks and sounds amazing Jenny! Thanks so much for sharing this picture.
I have used the local library for many years and I would be lost without it
Also I find that they can find almost any book or other media-on any subject because they can do a nationwide search for you
They enjoy helping you and do whatever they can for you
Librarians are truly the best!
