The weather cleared and made way for a beautiful day for my visit to the Jackson City Library (JCL).  Meeting with director Laura Thorne is always fun- we love to pick on each other and conduct conversations at warp speed.  JCL has been quite busy!  September in Jackson brings the Jackson County Apple Festival and for the library, the Apple Festival Quilt Show.  Over 500 people (yes, 500!) wandered in the library over a four day period to view the beautiful quilts displayed in the Potter meeting room.  Laura also informed me that JCL now offers wireless access.  This has been a very popular service utilized by library patrons.  A generous grant has allowed the library to also venture into the world of Playaway audio books.  (As a audio book enthusiast, I am anxious to try one!)  JCL is also starting an evening Family Storytime.  Family storytime will include books, games, crafts and snacks for the whole family. What a great idea!  As a working mom, I miss out on taking my toddler to storytime.  This is a great opportunity for today’s busy families to experience storytime at the library.  Check out the pictures I took of the library.  Can you see the moon above the library?  I really like the teen corner they have created.  Laura and staff have done a terrific job of dividing a big open space into defined zones for patrons.
