The Atmore Public Library was awarded an LSTA grant for the Hippy Program (Home Instruction Program for Preschool Youngsters).  The goal of the Hippy Program is to work with parents and preschool age children in the home so they will be prepared for kindergarten.  The staff at the library is privileged to work with the Hippy program and we hope it is a huge success.  For more information on the Hippy Program please contact Hippy Coordinator Diane Rose at 368-5478.

   

 

 

The Atmore Public Library received a grant from the Poarch Creek Indians.  We are very appreciative of all they do to help us.  With the funds that we received we were able to have several programs for the senior citizens, purchase large print books and shelving for the large print books.  Please come in and take a look at the new shelving and books that we've purchased.

KEEP IN TOUCH!

The Library now offers soldiers and their families a way to keep in touch--face-to-face!  Thanks to Gov. Bob Riley and

APLS, we now have an iMac computer that has a built-in webcam for communicating with loved ones whether it is

overseas or in the United States.  106 libraries in the state of Alabama were chosen, and we are very happy to have

received the iMac.  This is a free service and we hope that families in the community will come and use it. If you have

any questions please contact the library at 251-368-5234. 

 

                                                                                                                                                                                              

Atmore Public Library Receives Grant

The Atmore Public Library was recently awarded a $7,760 LSTA (Library Services Technology Act.)

Collection Development Grant through Alabama Public Library Service. The Friends of the Library will

provide $2,000 for the local match.

The Library is adding and updating books, videos and audio materials in the children's department.

This has been an ongoing project with donations from the Poarch Creek Indians, Representative Alan

Baker's Community Service Grant and Youth Leadership Atmore. By the end of the grant cycle the children's

department should have the most current reference material and the latest fiction for the children to

gain knowledge from and enjoy.

This is one of the many projects the Friends of the Library Board contribute to, thanks to your generous

donations to their annual drive.

Homework Help A Click Away for Students In Alabama

Now students in grades 4 - 12 and college introductory level can go online for free tutoring after school by going to the website:

www.homeworkalabama.org. 

From 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p. m. Sunday thru Thursday  students can get help with homework in math, science, social studies and English through the use of instant messaging and shared Web browsing. 

Brought to you by Alabama Public Library Service, live homework help online is the latest in an ongoing effort by public libraries to provide assistance to both the students and the school systems of Alabama. 

Once they log on, students select their grade level and the subject.  Tutor.com selects and trains the tutors, who are current and retired teachers, graduate students and college professors.  Every tutor must pass a security check.  In addition, before they are hired, prospective tutors submit resumes and teaching samples that show how they would help a child solve particular problems, complete technology training, participate in mock sample sessions, undergo a 30-day probation period and work with a mentor.

 

Library Offers Free Practice Tests

The Alabama Public Library Service has a statewide database for all public libraries allowing them to offer patrons interactive online practice tests at no charge.  Patrons can choose from more than 300 practice tests such as ACT, SAT, GED, firefighter, police officer, EMT Basic, U.S. Citizenship, postal worker, cosmetology, real estate sales agent and broker exams.  Please call the library to see if an exam you need is available.  

You now have access to these exams at home. Just come by the library and let us give you a user ID.  It's that simple!  If you don't have a computer you may take these tests in the library.  You may select and take the test and get immediate scoring and detailed explanations of answers.   

 

                                          Paperbacks To Go

                                 Free Internet Classes are given at the Library.
