The library is looking at a strategic plan to improve themselves. They are asking people to take a short survey that will help them understand what they are doing well and what they can improve upon. Questions include, do you use the library? How often do you come to the library? What resources do you use at the library? And what would you like to see differently? The answers will be used for planning purposes.
The Cridersville Public Library, a branch of the Auglaize County Library system, was handing out grab-and-go holiday activity bags. They were full of crafts, puzzles, and more. The hope is to give the kids something to do over their Christmas vacation. The library also held a Christmas theme story time on Monday. Titles read included "Bear Stay Up for Christmas" and "Pete the Cat Saves Christmas".
Today was a great day for area bookworms as the 2022 AAUW Book Fair kicked off in Lima! At 4 PM Tuesday Afternoon, volunteers officially opened the doors to the public, and patrons were off to the races to find their next perfect read by the fireplace for the upcoming fall season.
With more and more people coming into the library, they have gone back to pre-pandemic hours. They talked with patrons and found out people wanted to come in earlier and spend time in the library. People are once again using the computers, browsing through the books, and taking time to once again enjoy what the library has to offer.
