Join our Stay Connected Initiative!
During this crisis libraries are not essential services in the same way as others; however, I know we all recognize the importance of continuing to encourage reading and literacy, not only for children, but to ensure access to virtual resources to all patrons, and to help combat feelings of isolation.
To help meet this challenge:
- We increased e-resources for books, audio tapes, magazines, newspapers, and other resources. More information is, and will continue to be, available from our Library home page www.auburnlibrary.org.
- We developed this virtual resources website to provide easy access to our efforts: remote videotaping of library staff reading to children and engaging them with energy-release activities, uploading literacy/activity sheets, developing and taping puppet shows, and more.
- Virtual programs for adults, such as a virtual presentation from Ted Reinstein and others, are also in the development phase
We hope the resources available from this and our main Library website help to minimize feelings of isolation, encourage reading, and help to promote positive energies during these challenging times.
Stay safe ~
Dr. Jean E. Collins, Library Director
