LIBRARY UPDATE   late June 2009

Movies move to Thursdays at 6:30pm

During the Summer, our Friday movie moves to Thursdays at a slightly later time, 6:30pm.

Thursday, July 2 -- Family Movie Night. Meggie's father Mo has the power to bring characters from books to life just by reading those books aloud. When he sets free some nasty characters from a medieval story, it is up to Meggie to join a group of friends, both real and imagined, to set things right. Rated PG. Reviews.

Thursday, July 9 -- Family Movie Night. Improving upon the classic princess story, this charming tale features two admirable young heroines with positive messages about integrity, friendship, and the nature of inner beauty. Stars Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. Rated G. Reviews.

Thursday, July 16 -- Family Movie Night. An animated tale of a spoiled German Shepherd who is the star of his own action TV show and is living the good life. One day he is accidentally abandoned in his trailer but he truly believes he still has the superpowers from his show. Rated PG. Reviews.

Thursday, July 23 -- Family Movie Night. Tweener-friendly musical starring Demi Lovato and the Jonas brothers. Rated G. Reviews.

Friends need Friends: Come Join Us!

Welcome to the Friends of Talent Library web page. We are a group of volunteers dedicated to the support, assistance, and promotion of our local library.

The Talent Friends group provides financial support for the Summer Reading and Storytime programs, provides volunteers to aid the library staff, maintains the glass display cases, and sponsors a number of free programs thoughout the year.

Our recent Capital Campaign raised a third of million dollars, which increased the patron and book space in the new Talent Branch Library by over 1400 square feet. Click to read more about the highlights of the Capital Campaign.

Our current priorities are to keep our County library system open -- and to support and expand the programs and activities available at the Talent Library.

Please note: new time for Board Meetings -

Board Meetings are held at the Talent Library on the fourth Friday of the month at 1:30 pm. There will be no Board Meeting in June or July this year.

Our meetings are open to all. Bring your ideas and energy. We guarantee you a warm reception. For further information contact Betty Smith at 535-4246.
