Sign up for Summer Reading!
All we can say is WOW!! We've had a tremendous turn-out so far for Summer Reading! Our initial programs have gone very well, and there are still many, many fun things to do at the library this summer. We sign kids up all summer long, so come on in and register if you haven't had a chance yet.
Three of our crafts have closed, so we have started waiting lists. In light of this, if you find you cannot attend one of the crafts you have signed up for, do please let us know so we can give your spot to someone else.
We cannot take phone registrations at this time, and all programs require registration.

Adult Computer Class
The next adult computer class will be offered Thursday, June 20th, from 10 to 11 am. The topic for this class will be how to use the website Groupon.com to find shopping deals for many different types of retail establishements. The class is open to all adults. Registration is encouraged, but not required.
If you have any questions, please contact Beth at 649-1648 or bdowson@vicksburglibrary.org.
Alan Kazam was a Smash Hit!
Our Alan Kazam "Magic of Reading" show was a great success! We had record attendance, and a beautifully well behaved audience, and a wonderful time.
Our "I Can Read" Books Are Easier to Access!
Just in time for Summer Reading we've made some changes in the children's section to make it easier for our youngest readers to find books that are both interesting and at their reading level.
The "I Can Read" books (also listed as ICR in our catalog) are now housed in the brightly colored bins you see in the picture. This makes it much easier for kids to pick out books, as most young readers really need to see the cover to make a decision.
All ICR books are also labelled with a sticker that indicates the AR level of the book.
The books are still arranged alphabetically within the bins. If you need help locating a particular book, just ask Ms. Kristy or any available staff member. |
