We're Closing For The Holidays, But...

...we have great plans for 2009!!!
Over the past few weeks, we've laid out the plans for our 2009 calendar of events. There are, of course, library events we feel are necessary to promote. But we've also found some interesting ones we feel are of a great public service. And some that are just plain
fun.
In January we will publicize not only National Hot Tea Month (which has become a big health item) and National Puzzle Week, but we will be working with the Georgia Hospital Association and the Partnership for Health and Accountability to promote National Glaucoma Awareness Month.
February is American Heart Month, and again this year we will sponsor blood pressure readings by Colquitt Regional Medical Center on the AARP Tax Tuesdays. For just plain fun, we'll promote Library Lovers Month (the one I'm looking forward to.)
We always enjoy March because it's National Craft Month. Our plans call for gorgeous quilt displays in the library by some of our local quilters. And it's also National March into Literacy Month, which fits right in with our library plans.
April, of course, is National Library Week - one of those "musts" that we will do. But we have big plans to promote Child Abuse Prevention Month, and hold a time when parents can have their children's pictures and thumbprints recorded.
I don't want to give away everything we're going to do in 2009...at least, not right now. But I have to tell you that in May we will hold another Authors' Tea. The one last May was such a tremendous success, not only for the public but for the authors, that we decided it is a definite "must" again in 2009. Of course, it's also Get Caught Reading Month, and what better way to publicize the books by those authors than to take pictures of people in the community who are caught reading their books.
Well, you get the idea. 2009 is going to be a great year at Moultrie-Colquitt County Library. Just wait and see what we have planned for the rest of the year!
