Library Board Chair's Message
Let’s talk about reading. The Library’s fall 2009 “On the Same Page/Big Read” book selection is Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. Published in 1937, this moving novel tells the story of a teen-age African American girl who grows into a woman and takes charge of her destiny. It is a love story and full of adventure as young Janie travels from the all-black town of Eatonville, Florida to the Florida Keys. The title of the book is inspired by a real-life hurricane that Zora Neale Hurston survived and incorporated into the novel. We view the Library as the hub of our community, and the success of the new Lewisville Branch Library, which opened in 2007 shows once again: “Great Libraries Build Great Communities.” Lewisville features easy self-checkout using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, which is more convenient for customers than barcode scanning. A new Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant is allowing us to implement RFID at two more branches by summer of 2010. To know what’s really going on, look for the “Library Page” in the Winston-Salem Journal and The Chronicle every other month. You’ll read about new services, major events and other news. And to check the complete Calendar, click on Calendar of Events on the website or ask Library staff to print out a copy for you. Last but not least,
I am an optimist and believe that a new Central Library is around the corner. If
you agree or have any comments for your Library Board, address them to me and drop
them off at the Library nearest you.
