Magdalena, Colombia (CNN) — To the unaccustomed eye, a man toting 120 books while riding a stubborn donkey would seem nothing short of a circus spectacle. But for hundreds of children in the rural villages of Colombia, Luis Soriano is far from a clown. He is a man with a mission to save rural children from illiteracy.
Did you know each time you check out a book, magazine, video, or anything, from Stanton County Public Library you are making a positive impact on the environment, not to mention your household budget? By “sharing” library materials instead of purchasing your own, you are saving your money, trees and the planet by reducing the amount of paper, plastic, etc., that is used and ultimately ends up in a landfill. To go along with”Going Green” the library is using recycled books bags (maroon bags), one of the school colors) when items are checked out. The library will no longer be using plastic bags for items.
Here’s the Scenario: You’ve just heard that John Grisham has a new book out, but you just don’t have the time to get to the library to put it on hold.
Here’s the solution: Join the Bestsellers Club and we’ll automatically place you on the hold list for any of the popular authors you choose. While we can’t guarantee how near the top of the list you’ll be, it’s one less thing you’ll have to do.
How to do it: Pick up the author list from the library, complete the form, indicating the authors whose new books you’d like to read. There are many popular authors to pick from. Give the list to a librarian, sit back and relax – you’ll get the books you want to read… before you know you want them.
