On Thursday June 18th, the Durham
Public Library hosted a Volunteer Appreciation Party to thank all the wonderful
people who take the time week in and week out to assist. Some of these dedicated
individuals have been working with the library since its inception in 1997. The
Friends of the Library, Trustees, and volunteers help in hundreds of ways, from
baking cookies, to processing and shelving books, to finding a suitable location
for a new home.

New Catalog
Computer: The Durham Public Library has
added another
catalog station in the library to look up books and other materials. It is
located at the far side of the reading area in the corner by the front window.
This wireless station was installed to relieve some of the congestion at the
front desk, but it is also configured to allow patrons to download audiobooks to
their MP3 players. Audiobooks can be downloaded for free and are available in
the library or from any internet connected computer through the library’s
website using individual library card numbers. The new catalog
station is not to be used for internet searching or email. Patrons are asked to
use one of the public computer stations for these
purposes.
Please join us at a “Thursday Night
Park Picnic” for townspeople throughout the summer. Every other Thursday,
a location has been selected where people can bring a picnic and any games,
etc., they would like to play or share. The next picnic location will be
along the waterfront at Old Town Landing on July 9. Bring your canoe or
kayak and enjoy the waterfront from a new viewpoint! It should be close to
high tide, allowing access by the boat dock. Games will also be set up in
advance, but feel free to bring your favorites along as well. It is
intended to be a very casual event, with no specified times or requirements
beyond getting together after 5:00 PM and meeting more of the members of our
great community. You are encouraged to come individually or in groups and
join in the fun. Please contact the Parks & Recreation Committee at durhamparksandrec@yahoo.com with
any questions or suggestions for other locations you would like to see utilized
for these gatherings. Given the venue, consider the event canceled if it is
raining. Hope to see you there!
