UEN rep, Kim Davis, hosted a call to recent Library Board Chairperson, Ronda Menlove, who is currently serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Egypt with her husband. Menlove was instrumental in making the connections with UEN and acquiring the technology and services for the library.
While that was happening downstairs, children made turkey crafts with The Family Place volunteers upstairs and Family Place representative, Judy Hull, explained the programs that are offered. She also signed locals up for their newsletter. The library’s Senior Services representative, Ken Hull, had a table with pamphlets and other information he has access to. He answered questions and promoted the different services he offers. The Food Pantry was in service for those needing items and had tours available for curious visitors. Refreshments were served, Mayor Leonhardt spent time guests, and board members were here to greet new comers.
The Garden City Library is proud to partner with The Family Place, offer senior’s online assistance and programs, join in providing grocery items to our community through the food pantry, and explore the many options now available to us through the wonderful technology and connection with UEN.
GC Library staff want to remind patrons that they are doing “Food for Fines” through the month of December. Bring “unexpired,” non-perishable items for the food pantry to pay your fines! We are also hosting a coat and boot drive. Donate your winter clothing that’s in good condition. Trade for what you need. Take what you can use. Items are in the library’s breezeway and open 24/7. And finally, for all children who participated in our KUED sponsored November Readathon, turn in your reading logs by December 15, 2019 to be entered into the prize drawing!
