Evans Library District is celebrating our 90<sup>th</sup>anniversary this year, and we continue with our special anniversary programming. In the month of September, we will host <i>Princeville Reads</i>. <i>Princeville Reads</i> is a community-wide reading and discussion program focusing on the book, <u>One Summer: America, 1927</u> by Bill Bryson.&nbsp; In <u>One Summer,</u> Bill Bryson, one of our greatest and most beloved nonfiction writers, transports readers on a journey back to one amazing season in American life.<span class="apple-converted-space">&nbsp; This book is especially relevant since the LME Library was founded in 1927. Starting September 1<sup>st</sup>, ten </span>copies of the book will be given away to the first <i>Princeville Reads </i>participants and additional copies will be available for checkout at the LME Library.</div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />During <i>Princeville Reads</i>, we will also have several programs that focus on the 1927 time period.&nbsp; These programs include:</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><br /></b><b>Drone Aircraft on September 7<sup>th</sup> 6:30pm</b>—in 1927, Charles Lindbergh made aviation history by completing the first solo nonstop flight, but with the technological changes over the last 90 years, now anyone can fly!&nbsp; Drones&nbsp;have many applications and they're only getting smarter, more powerful and less expensive. Many farmers are joining the trend by using drone sensors and robotics to supply data for agriculture.&nbsp; Our speaker, Dean Poignant is&nbsp;a commercially licensed drone pilot.&nbsp; He will discuss the many uses for drones, purchasing drones, and drone safety. If the weather cooperates, there will also be a flying demonstration to illustrate their capabilities. </div><br /><b>Family Movie Night on September 11 6:30pm</b>—join us for a family movie night featuring <i>Laurel &amp; Hardy</i> and <i>Our Gang</i>. The movie night will be approximately 1 hour in length and appropriate for all ages. <i>Laurel &amp; Hardy</i> were a comedy duo that became well known during the late 1920s through the mid-1940s for their slapstick comedy. They appeared as a team in over 100 films—some of them silent films. <i>Our Gang</i>, also known as <i>The Little Rascals</i>, was a series of comedic short films about a group of poor neighborhood children and their adventures. The franchise began in 1922 as a series of silent short subjects and was converted to sound in 1929. In total, the <i>Our Gang</i> series includes 220 shorts, one feature film, and featured over 41 child actors.<br /><br /><b>Ice Cream Social/Concert on September 17</b> 3:00pm at Stevens Square—in case of bad weather, the program will be moved to the LME Library. Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy a concert from the Kewanee Community Band. Ice cream socials are a traditional gathering dating back to the 18th century and their popularity only increased when modern refrigeration became common in the 20th century.<br /><br /><b>Book Discussion on September 28 3pm</b>—this program is for anyone interested in discussing the book, One Summer: America, 1927 by Bill Bryson. All readers are encouraged to attend the discussion session.<br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">So join us for all the programs or just one but remember that <i>Princeville Reads</i>!</div>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17642600891527907569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255313585568462914.post-55323366316095006462017-06-23T16:02:00.000-05:002017-06-23T16:02:27.002-05:00Heritage Days Art Show<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://lmelibrary.org/images/Art%20Show%20-%20Exhibit%20-%20Web.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://lmelibrary.org/images/Art%20Show%20-%20Exhibit%20-%20Web.png" data-original-height="295" data-original-width="784" height="240" width="640" /></a></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Art Show will be open to the public during Princeville Heritage Days on Friday, June 23</span><sup style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">rd</sup><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> from 9am until 6pm and on Saturday, June 24</span><sup style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">th</sup><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> from 9am until 6pm.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp; </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Lillie M.

It may be done online in the convenience of your own home, in person at the library or by phone. Online registration can be done through the library’s website at <a href="http://lmelibrary.org/">lmelibrary.org</a>. Registration will continue throughout the month of June.<br /><br />We are offering 4 different programs this summer. “Read-to-Me” is for birth through Pre-K. The children will get a prize after enjoying 10 books, and they will get a book to keep after reading 20 books. They may continue to read and get prizes as long as prize supplies last.<br /><br />“Reading by Design” is the theme for K-5th graders (grade just finished). In this program, readers will get a prize every time they finish reading 90 minutes. After reading 360 minutes, readers in this age group will be invited to the private pool party put on by the library in mid-July. Additionally, this group also has been issued a challenge. If they collectively read a minimum of 19,270 minutes by July 8, one lucky winner will be drawn to either dump Jello on Ms. Anita’s head or have it dumped on them.<br /><br />The “Summer Creators’ Showcase” is for 6th – 12th graders. This program will focus on creating/making/doing a project of the reader’s choice. Finished projects will be displayed or presented at a showcase here at LME on Friday, July 21st.<br /><br />The “Summer Challenge 6 of 9” is for adults. The log sheet is set up like a tic-tac-toe board with different activities in each square. Upon completing 6 activities, the reader will be entered into a drawing for a prize basket.<br /><br />That’s just the basics! In addition to the actual reading programs, many fun activities are filling June and July. We have a representative from Ameren doing a safety program, a juggler, a Guinness World Record holder, and a science show that will literally explode! There are also Toddler Storytimes, Pre-K Storytimes and Maker Camps (hands-on STEAM activities). The full calendar can be found on our website at <a href="http://lmelibrary.org/">lmelibrary.org</a>.<br /><br />Let’s not forget the kickoff dance party on Thursday, June 1st from 10-11:30am!!! Come sign up and have some fun in the process. Let’s get this summer of discovery started!Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17642600891527907569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255313585568462914.post-33413256001189741242017-05-05T11:41:00.000-05:002017-05-05T11:41:36.717-05:00Princeville History Programs at the LME Library<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://lmelibrary.org/templates/blend_education/images/logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://lmelibrary.org/templates/blend_education/images/logo.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As part of our 90th anniversary celebration, the LME Library will be hosting a series of programs on Wednesdays in May at the Library. Our first program was May 3rd on the Highlights of Princeville History. Thank you Julie Delbridge of the Princeville Heritage Museum for presenting this program! During the week of May 10th, we have a slideshow presentation featuring Princeville Businesses through the years. The slideshow is available for viewing in the library or on our website, <a href="http://lmelibrary.org/">http://lmelibrary.org</a>. It will also be shown at Community Coffee at the Princeville Heritage Museum on May 10th from 8-10am. <br /><br />Our third program will be on May 17th at 2pm at the library on Caterpillar’s History in Central Illinois. We’ve had a change of speakers, and now Zack Brown from Caterpillar Inc. will discuss Caterpillar’s history and workforce recruitment through the years. Our May 24th program is on Canning Factory History in Princeville at 2pm at the library. Since 1922, the canning factory has been an important economic player in the history of Princeville. Mary Ann Mercer from Seneca Foods will present a program on the history of the canning factory and the migrant workers program. Our final program is on One Room Schoolhouses and will take place on Wednesday, May 31st at 2pm in the library. This closing program will focus on the history of education and the one-room schools houses in the Princeville area and will be presented by the Princeville Heritage Museum.<br /><br />We’re not done yet--watch for other 90th anniversary activities in 2017! In September, we will be hosting Princeville Reads, community-wide reading and discussion program focusing on the book, One Summer: America, 1927 by Bill Bryson. This book is especially relevant since the LME Library was founded in 1927. Copies of the book will be available for checkout at the LME Library and all readers are encouraged to attend a discussion session. We also plan to have an open house late in 2017 to celebrate the Lillie M. Evans Library and the completion of the library addition. More details will be posted on our website at <a href="http://lmelibrary.org/">http://lmelibrary.org</a>. </span>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17642600891527907569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255313585568462914.post-90454884980010402392017-03-27T12:20:00.000-05:002017-03-27T12:20:14.613-05:00National Library Week 2017<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ala.org/conferencesevents/sites/ala.org.conferencesevents/files/content/NLW17_PSA_8.5x11_PRINT-FINAL.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.ala.org/conferencesevents/sites/ala.org.conferencesevents/files/content/NLW17_PSA_8.5x11_PRINT-FINAL.png" height="320" width="247" /></a></div><div style="background: white; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #303030; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">National Library Week, April 9 – 15, 2017, is a time to celebrate our nation’s libraries and library workers for transforming lives through technology, information literacy, diverse collections and opportunities for community engagement.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="background: white; margin: 12pt 0in;"><span style="color: #303030; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">In a world of rapid technological and cultural change, libraries and library workers are establishing themselves as trusted resources for both individuals and the community at large. Conducting an online search can be a daunting task, even for an experienced researcher, with millions of hits for any question or topic.

Libraries play an important role in the education and development of children.&nbsp;Studies show that children who are read to in the home and who use the library perform better in school and are more likely to continue to use the library as a source of lifetime learning.</span> Libraries not only provide resources to parents and children that support early literacy and lifelong learning, but truly transform how families spend time together.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="background: white; margin: 12pt 0in;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #303030;">Card holders have free access to a family destination that provides a spectrum of free services, including technology instruction; STEAM programs/activities; book clubs; storytimes; and reading programs for all ages.&nbsp; Today’s public libraries are thriving technology hubs that millions rely on as their first or only choice for Internet access and digital content. In addition to books, magazines, DVDs, computers, games, software and other multimedia materials, libraries provide access to e-books and e-book readers. Ninety percent of libraries offer access to e-books, an increase of 14 percent from 2012. Mobile devices, including e-book readers are available at 39 percent of libraries.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="background: white; margin: 12pt 0in;"><span style="color: #303030;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Throughout Library Card Sign-Up Month, libraries will offer a variety of incentives to spur signups and renewals. At the Lillie M.

Evans Friends of the Library book sale! The book sale runs from August 1-August 27 and offers a great selection of books, audios, and DVDs. Come back weekly to stock up on bargains – each week the selections are fewer but the prices decrease. Donations for the sale are always welcome and come in year-round. All proceeds from the book sale return to the library as funding for special projects of the Friends of the Lillie M. Evans Library District in Princeville.<br /><br />Most library users would be surprised to learn how many services and programs are supported by the Friends. These have included: the furniture in the children’s and young adult areas, the sound equipment for the meeting room, the pamphlet file in the foyer, gift certificates for Holiday Homecoming, decorations for the garden, benches in front of the library, cutting systems for library programs &amp; displays, the wii entertainment system &amp; games, and a globe for the children’s area. The Friends also assist with the Summer Reading Program by sponsoring a children’s program, providing a teen Summer Reading prize, and sponsoring the end of the summer party for our readers. Please contact the library at 309-385-4540 or visit our website at <a href="http://lmelibrary.org/">lmelibrary.org</a> to find out how to become a member of the Friends. </span>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17642600891527907569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255313585568462914.post-8637173752438298672016-05-18T11:36:00.000-05:002016-05-18T11:36:19.257-05:00LME Library's Summer Reading Programs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://lmelibrary.org/images/2016%20Promo%20Tee%20FINAL.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://lmelibrary.org/images/2016%20Promo%20Tee%20FINAL.png" height="198" width="200" /></a></div><span style="font-family: &quot;verdana&quot; , sans-serif;">Summer is the time for relaxing and what better way to relax than to read a good book! This summer’s theme is “Read for the Win!”, and we have lots of programs and activities to go along with reading. There’s something for everyone – this year we again have programs for all ages. Sign-up at the library or online at <a href="http://lmelibrary.org/">lmelibrary.org</a>. <br /><br />The ever-popular “Read-to-Me” summer program for birth through Preschool age (entering Kindergarten Fall 2016) is back. Color in a square on the log sheet for every activity you and your child do together. For every horizontal row completed, your child will get a prize. When the entire sheet is completed (15 activities) your child will get a book to keep (the library will have on hand a special collection of books from which to choose; limit one free book per child). Activities can be completed between June 6 and July 9.<br /><br />Storytime for children ages 3 to 5 will be held at 10 A.M. on the following Tuesdays: June 7, June 21 and July 5. Children must be 3 before June 7 to participate. Storytime lasts approximately 30 minutes and consists of stories, songs, crafts and games. Please contact the library to sign up so that adequate materials are available at craft time.<br /><br />Toddler Time for children ages 18 months up to 3 years will be held at 10 A.M. on the following Tuesdays: June 14 and June 28. Toddler Time lasts approximately 30 minutes and consists of stories, songs, games and “free play.” This is a drop-in program and no sign-up is necessary.<br /><br /><b>NEW THIS YEAR</b> - Readers in the K-5th grade program will set their own reading goals! They, with the help of an adult, can decide whether they want to read a certain number of books, read for time, etc. When any progress is made toward their goal, they may check in by bringing their log form to the library. They may check in once per day (up to 6 times in a week). Each time they will have the choice of a mystery prize pack or putting a ticket in the drawing for the “prize of the week.” They may also donate 1 book per week to the Princeville Grade School for use in the library or classrooms. Books will be placed at the school’s discretion. The library will have a collection of books from which to choose. When readers complete their goal, they may attend the library’s pool party at Princeville Aquatic Center on Sunday, July 17 from 6-8PM for free. Their immediate family members may attend for a discounted admission. Completed logs should be turned in by July 13th. <br /><br />The 2016 LME Library “Summer Challenge” is for 6th-12th grades. Complete six of the nine challenges (either by reading a certain genre or attending a program) by July 13th to be entered to win a new tablet. The 6th-12th programs will be held from 3:15 – 4:45 PM on Mondays, June 6 – July 18. Books must be read or programs attended between June 6 and July 13. <br /><br />Our adult summer reading program returns this year! For every two books you read and log between June 6 and July 30, you will earn one entry into the Adult Summer Reading prize drawing (limit 3 reading entries per patron). Read 6 books in 9 weeks to complete Summer Reading and be qualified to win a prize. Logs must be returned to the library before close on July 30. For complete details see the Adult Summer Reading Log or ask our library staff. Only books read between June 6 and July 30 count. You must complete the log to be eligible for the grand prize.

Evans Library District, 207 N Walnut, Princeville. One statewide winner will be chosen in a random drawing of eligible participants who logged the correct answer for all four posters. The winner will receive a $1,000 contribution to an existing or new Individual Retirement Account (IRA) for 2016. The <i>DASH for the STASH </i>program is being launched by </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10.0pt;">the Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White’s Securities Department and the nonprofit Investor Protection Institute (IPI).&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The <i>DASH for the STASH</i> contest is played much like a scavenger hunt. But instead of collecting objects, individuals collect information about saving and investing and leave answers to quiz questions. To enter the contest, individuals visit a participating library or other location where a set of four investor education topic posters (and one rules poster) are displayed. Contestants read each poster and then access the quiz question for each poster. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">“We are very pleased to be involved in the education of Illinois investors,” said Beth Duttlinger, Library Director. “A big part of our mission is to provide materials and services to help residents meet their personal, educational, cultural and professional needs and we believe that <i>DASH for the STASH</i> benefits our community by increasing financial literacy.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">“<i>DASH for the STASH</i> is a great way to engage consumers, especially younger people, who have not yet started to pay attention to this critical part of their financial outlook,” said Don Blandin, president and CEO of the Investor Protection Institute. “Our goal is to lead individuals to venues, such as public libraries, where they can find reliable investor education and protection resources.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The <i>DASH for the STASH</i> posters each have a QR code and a web link to a quiz that individuals will access to answer questions and participate in the contest. The posters cover four key topics: finding financial advisers, avoiding fraud, understanding investment fees, and building a nest egg. The easiest way to participate in the <i>DASH for the STASH</i> is to use a smartphone or mobile device to scan each poster’s QR code, but you also will be able to use a laptop or desktop computer at most locations.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">For mor</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10.0pt;">e information about <i>DASH for the STASH</i> rules, go to <a href="http://www.iinvest.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/DASH-for-the-STASH_2016_Rules.pdf">www.iinvest.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/DASH-for-the-STASH_2016_Rules.pdf</a>.
