Library Advisory Commission Report

While attending a city council meeting recently I had the opportunity to hear the Library Advisory Commission give a report to the city council. They did an excellent job and I was impressed with their passionate support of this impressive public resource.

They discussed the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival which, if I recall, focused more on a report of some of their mid-season events. However, this reminded me that I have not yet purchased tickets for this year. Due to various reasons I have not yet had the opportunity to attend this event. From what I hear I am missing out on an excellent experience. I'm hoping to make it this year. If so, I'm sure you'll hear about it in a future post.

Other topics covered were the library's art collection, storytelling at the library and some talk of a possible botanical garden (I'll have to get more info on this).

There was a great presentation on NetLibrary which provides access to "5700 e-books and 1,600 audiobooks". Wow! You can get all that with your library card. All you have to do is go in to the library or call and they will setup an account for you. I'll probably do that tomorrow.

Orem Library has been selected to be in a book about libraries published by Berkshire Publishing Group. See an upcoming post with more details about this book.
