The CEFS Head Start “Back to School Bash” was held on August 3 at the United in Faith Church in Pana. Lisa Lynch, Director and Becky Hoffman, Librarian were on hand to pass out information on the library and coloring sheets. Books were read to children as they stopped at the table.

“Bubble Stations” was a hit on July 19 with the children and adults. Rick, from Absolute Science, did a fantastic job with showing everyone the different wands to make all sizes of bubbles! We would highly recommend the program! This program was made possible with the Bob Hall Memorial Gift.

Have you thought of giving a non-resident library card to a friend or family member as a gift for a Birthday, Christmas, Mother’s Day, or Father’s Day? The cost for a non-resident card is $60 per year. This fee covers everyone who lives in their household. A non-resident is a person who lives outside the city limits and does not pay real estate taxes to the library. There is no fee for a person who lives inside the city limits.

Peggy Eddy presented a $500 check on behalf of First National Bank to Lisa Lynch, Library Director at Carnegie Schuyler Library of Pana. The library will purchase new books with this generous donation.

Did you know library patrons can return items to any library, and IHLS’s delivery will get them home?
