| GERMAN-MASONTOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY |
| What's Up @ GMPL? |
Please join us on FACEBOOK for the latest news and
information about the library.
Effective September 2011, German-Masontown Public Library has relocated to a one
level, fully accessible facility. We are especially excited to have a Conference Room
which will now enable us to offer even more programs and services to our patrons.
We are pleased to announce the dedication of THE WILMA BRAND CHILDREN'S
ROOM. Mrs. Brand was a founding member of the Quilters' Group at
German-Masontown Public Library and long-time supporter of the library. Mrs. Brand
and her fellow quilters generously donated lovely hand-crafted quilts which were raffled
off to raise money for the library. Although Mrs. Brand now lives in Morgantown WV, she
continues her love of books and libraries by hosting her own personal "library" for
residents of her apartment complex. We are grateful for Mrs. Brand's many hours of
work with the Quilters' Group and for her dedication to the library. Her kindness and
generosity will provide a cheerful, welcoming space where children can develop an
appreciation for reading.
Special thanks to board member Dorothy Gruskowski who spent countless hours
organizing and decorating THE WILMA BRAND CHILDREN'S ROOM. A talented
elementary teacher and school librarian, " Mrs. G" creatively organized the collection
and added special touches to make our children's room attractive to both children and
parents. Indeed, many patrons have been especially impressed with this section of the
new library and have commented upon its many attractive features.
In response to numerous patron requests, the Board of Directors has agreed to open the
library on Monday evening from 3.00 PM to 7.00 PM starting in January 2012. These
new hours are on a TRIAL BASIS and we hope more patrons will be able to visit the
library during the evening. We also plan to offer some family-oriented activities such as
Movie Night on the last Monday of each month. (Of course, the library will remain
closed on holidays and AG snow days.)
Stop by the library SOON or join us on FACEBOOK.
