Library Updates

Recently, Metro was contacted by Tinker Air Force base because they were curious as to what we could offer those serving at the base. Metro staff met with Tinker's Commanding Officer and the Director of the Tinker Library and from this meeting, we determined that it would be helpful to visit the base to sign up service members for library cards so on October 30th, staff from Midwest City and Planning did just that. In attendance from Midwest City was Chris Kennedy, Tracey Thompson, Crystal Suppes and Shirley Henderson while Kellie Delaney and Tim Spindle from Planning were there, too.

Halloween celebrations took place on Capitol Hill Main Street on Halloween night as part of the 1st Haunt the Hill Event, an idea conceived by Jennifer Jones, Capitol Hill Associate Librarian, in collaboration with the Capitol Hill Business Improvement District. This event sought to provide a fun and safe event for the community that both young and old could enjoy.

This Tuesday and Wednesday the Edmond Library held the 2nd annual Toddler Halloween Parade/Library Tour. We combine the two because not all families participate in Halloween, but we want everyone to particiapte in the library tour, going behind the circulation desk, meeting the librarians (and getting a little candy while they're at it!). Let's face it, babies and toddlers are adorable without being in costume, but dress them up as Superman or a princess?! It doesn't get any cuter than that!!
