I know you're anxious to know what awesome prizes we are giving out this Summer!  We have been fortunate to get some amazing sponsorships from several Pueblo companies and organizations!

Beginning May 29, CR will be auctioning tickets to the Bands in the Backyard event! All proceeds will benefit The Pueblo Library Foundation. The auction will close June 12. To place a bid or see more details visit: http://portal.pueblolibrary.org/bandsauction

By Tuesday, May 26 you should receive your Summer Reading Binder which has all of the resources you will need to facilitate Summer Reading at your location.  Hopefully this post answers any questions you have.

Summer Reading Registration

Are you interested in a classic card catalog?  See photo attached.  Kathy Knox, retired PCCLD librarian, is offering one on first-come, first-serve basis.  If you are interested, please contact me ASAP (x625 or jon.walker@pueblolibrary.org).

Summer Reading is right around the corner – and we are spreading the word!  You might be participating in school promotions, Most Improved Reader presentations, community outreaches, etc – and in doing this you are helping everyone know what awesome things the library has in store for all ages!

The next quarterly Volunteer Luncheon has been moved to Friday, June 19, 12:00-1:00 in the Ryals Room of the Rawlings Library. Please get the word out to our volunteers about this about this wonderful event. Thank you very much!

As part of the current Strategic Planning process, the Library has done many things: held focus groups with members from the community, conducted a community-wide survey, and held staff and stakeholder retreats.

Dear colleagues, I'm excited to announce the Adult Summer Reading Registration Challenge! Last year, we had exactly 500 adult registrations. This year, we're shooting for a 20 percent increase, but would love to exceed that. Can we do this together?

Congratulations to Carol Perea for winning the Gardening Basket.
