Maddie Cummings, Library Director at the Lake Region Public Library, has been named by Governor Doug Burgum to the North Dakota Library Coordinating Council. The North Dakota Library Coordinating Council assists in planning, coordinating, and evaluating the services and programs of North Dakota libraries. The North Dakota governor appoints two representatives from public libraries; one from a school library; one from a public or private higher education institution library; one to represent disabled, economically disadvantaged, and minority populations; two to represent libraries at large; and two citizens at large. Congratulations Maddie!
Adult SRP Weekly Update
As we all know, this is the inaugural year of the Summer Reading Program for adults as well as students. When I set this up, I thought I was setting an incredibly lofty goal for individuals to read 3,500 minutes in 9 weeks, but especially to log 50,000 minutes community-wide. As of 9:00 a.m. on Monday, June 12, our readers have logged over 24,000 minutes. I think it’s safe to say that we’re going to hit our 50,000 minute goal- and then some! This week will have yoga at the library on Thursday, and next week will feature both Zumba and paint pouring. Hope to see you soon! -Maddie
Thursday, June 15 @ 1:30 p.m. – Weekly SRP Program: Grades 5-8. Every week, students going into grades 5-8 will be able to attend fun, in-person programs at the library.
