Book Babysitters Needed
Seeking book lovers young and old to babysit books ages 1 month to 10 years. The position will be full-time while the library gets new carpet installed, from October 2 through at least October 16. Sitters will be required to take good care of their books, make sure they get a good night’s rest and are well-loved. Babysitter certification is not needed; the only special skill required is a love of reading.
How it works: Between Monday, October 2 and Friday, October 6, bring an empty box to the library or borrow one of ours. Choose a section of approximately 30 books from either the children’s shelves, new books, or chapter books, and bring them to the front desk. There, you’ll get a printout of the books you’ve borrowed and some helpful tips for taking care of your young friends. Bring the books home and read and play with them. Return them anytime between Monday, October 16 and the due date printed on their slip. You’ll receive an official “Book Babysitter” certificate that you can show off to your friends.
Need a new plant for your home or dorm room? Have extra indoor plants that need a new home? Stop by the library and pick up or drop one off.
Please don’t bring outdoor plants (hostas, bulbs, etc.); this event is just for indoor plants (pothos, spider plants, etc.)
All are welcome; you don’t need to bring something to take something.
