Order a Child’s Seasonal Craft Kit And Literacy Activity!
Parents and Guardians:
Please call by Wednesday of this week for a Free Seasonal Craft Kit and Literacy Activity for your child! This kit will be available for pick up at the Madison County Library. Just call us at 948-4720 or email us at froebuck@madisoncountyvalibrary.org. Let us know your name and how many kits you’d like to pick up (curbside or inside the building) for your children. Please ask for one kit per child ages 3 through 7 years old.
*Also, be sure to “Like” our Facebook Page and watch the Storytime video. This week’s book is: The Day the TV Blew Up, by Dan West. This is in honor of March 6th’s National Day of Unplugging. Miss Fran will share a new book on Facebook each week!
The Library has added several new databases to our research page, including Gale with encyclopedias for each grade level, and Newsbank with 3,500 newspapers, including our own Eagle. Please check them out…they are an awesome resource.
We are following CDC guidelines for sanitizing loaned books, etc. When we reopen, we will require all patrons to wear a mask, use hand sanitizer upon entry, and have a temperature check along with a few quick questions. Floors will be marked so that all will adhere to social distancing.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
For those of you that have lost your jobs due to COVID-19, here is a link to the Virginia Workforce Connection. Unemployment in Virginia & COVID-19
Update: Don’t forget that Overdrive is available to you online so you can download e-books and audio books. Your library card number gets entered after selecting our library. Then enter your pin number, which is the last four numbers on your library card. No fines will be accrued during this time that we are closed. If you do not have a library card, call the Library between 10-12 Mon-Fri and we can issue you one over the phone.
