Re-opening Celebration a hit!Origami cranes and children's storytime captivated many, while others played board games, talked and enjoyed the ambience of our wonderful new library. Mayor Steyskal delivered a delightful fable about the library, When The Darkness Came to Talent, to rousing applause. Click here to read and enjoy it again. The celebration marked the extension of Talent's library hours from 16 to 36 hours per week -- and our first Saturday hours in thirty years.
LIBRARY UPDATE July 2008The Friends sponsor a weekly movie show Friday evenings at 6 pm. During the summer we will alternate with the City of Talent's Friday Evening in the Park program. Starting July 11, expect either a Park program outside or a movie in the Library each Friday evening, all summer long. Library movie dates are July 18, August 8, and August 22. Call or visit the Talent Library (535-4163) to learn the titles of these Family-rated movies. Our successful AfterSchool Storytime & Snacks program continues this summer as Kids Hour @ the Library - with stories, movies, crafts, and activities for 5-10 year olds. A wholesome snack is served in the Community Meeting Room, followed by a program that rotates on a weekly basis. Every Wednesday from 3:30 to 4:30 pm. July 16 will be a G-rated animated movie staring three loveable dogs. On movie days the program runs until 5 pm.
