LIBRARY UPDATE – mid-May 2013

Free Friday Movie – 6 pm

Friday, May 3 – Family movie at the Talent Library. From the studio that brought you "Earth", "Oceans", "African Cats" and "Chimpanzee", comes a stunning nature documentary full of intrigue, drama and mesmerizing beauty. Narrated by Meryl Streep, this intimate and unprecedented look at butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, bats and flowers is a celebration of life, as a third of the world's food supply depends on these winged pollinators. See the Reviews to learn more. Rated G.

Pick up a free bookmark at the Talent Library, listing upcoming movie names and dates. Showtime is at 6pm on Friday in the Talent Library Community Room ... and the movies are FREE!

Art with Paper – Fri. May 10

Friends need Friends Come Join Us!

Welcome to our corner. The Friends of Talent Library are volunteers dedicated to the support, assistance, and promotion of our local library.

The Talent Friends give extensive financial support to the Summer Reading and Storytime programs, provide volunteers to aid the library staff, maintain the glass display cases, sponsor free programs and Friday movies throughout the year, and fund acquisition of additional books, magazines, and DVDs for our Talent Library.

Our successful Capital Campaign raised a third of million dollars, increasing the patron and book space in the new Talent Branch Library by over 1400 square feet.

Current priorities are to maintain open hours at the Talent Library – and to support and expand the programs, activities, and collection available at the Talent Library.
