Library News
The library recently had Gary Moore, Author of Playing With The Enemy, come and share his book with the community. We want to thank all the businesses and individuals who donated their time and resources to make the program a huge success. If you would like to purchase a book please go to http://www.playingwiththeenemy.com.
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 have 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.
