Ten-weeks update

It's been 10 weeks since we opened our doors to the greater Vernon community, and on one hand, that day seems like yesterday - on the other, when I see how well our users have settled in, it seems like we've been here for years!

Library regulars have found their favorite spots to read, study or work.  Some people like to enjoy a view, others prefer a solitary study carrel, with the absence of distraction.  The great thing is that everyone has a choice!

At this point, the temperature in the library is comfortable for the most part (although the air conditioning is great, we LOVE the two-storey automatic blind to shield the western sun in the afternoon; we especially love the automatic part!), but there are still some areas in the building that are not complete yet - signage and lighting in particular. All in good time....

Summer visitors are checking out the new building, residents are stocking up on reading materials to take to the beach or campground, and the annual Summer Reading Club for children in full swing now.  Your library is a busy place but we've got lots of room, so if you're looking for a (literally) cool place to spend some time this summer, our doors are wide open.  The Vernon branch's open hours are Mon-Fri-Sat 10 - 5:30; Tues-Wed-Thurs 10 - 9.  See you soon!
