ADULT WINTER READING PROGRAM
The VDL’s Adult Winter Reading Program runs December 20, 2024 – March 21, 2025. Just return the receipts of your completed materials! Upon earning 15 points you receive a free prize of either a bottle opener, carabiner, or jar opener from Vicksburg District Library and an entry slip for the prize drawing. Keep earning points! For every 5 or more points earned after the first 15, you’ll get extra entry slips for the prize drawing. Registration is required. Sign up at the Circulation Desk. Open to anyone 18+ and no longer in high school.
BOOK BOXES FOR ADULTS
Book Boxes contain books based on personalized recommendations from criteria that you specify – in a box with treats: salty, sweet, and a little surprise. Registration is limited to 5 boxes per month. Registration for Book Boxes is now closed. It will reopen on February 1. Boxes will be available for pickup also starting on February 1.
How book boxes work: You tell us your reading preferences – what you’re looking for and what you’re not looking for – and you’ll get a box with three surprise library books and some treats. The books and boxes are checked out like any other library book and returned on their due date.
JOB SEARCHES FROM START TO FINISH WITH MEL
The VDL presents “Job Searches from Start to Finish with Learning Express through MeL eResources”. This hour-long computer class will give an overview of how MeL’s eResources can help you through the entire job-search process. Half of the class will be informative presentation and the other half a hands-on exploration using the library’s computers.
The class is on Wednesday, February 26, from 6-7pm, and it starts in the library’s Lower Level. If you would like the class to be repeated during daytime hours so that you can attend, please let John know, and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
