National Library Week Will Connect Worlds at DeTamble Library
Laurinburg, NC, April 11, 2009 --(PR.com)-- DeTamble Library will kick off its annual National Library Week celebration on the campus of St. Andrews Presbyterian College on Tuesday with a variety of events designed to celebrate the theme, “Worlds connect @ your library.”
“Every day, libraries in big cities and small towns, colleges and universities, in schools and businesses help transform their communities,” said Library Director Rita Dursi Johnson. “At our library, students come to do research with the assistance of a trained professional and to attend classes which are held in the facility. Staff members come to check our leisure reading materials and find resources on consumer, health and other issues of interest. Members of the faculty come to attend programs such as the library-sponsored faculty brown-bag lunches and to order research materials through interlibrary loan. We welcome members of the community to use DeTamble Library's resources to pursue their interest and do research of their own.”
Activities for National Library Week begin with the annual book sale at 9 a.m. Tuesday. Books will be on display outside the library, weather permitting, until 5 p.m. that day. All are welcome to browse through the books for purchase and enjoy the complimentary lemonade and cookies. While the books will move to the foyer of the library, the sale will continue through 5 p.m. on Friday.
The public is also invited to attend the library's final event in the Semi-Centennial Sketches - St. Andrews through the Years history series on Thursday. The four-part series, designed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the articles of incorporation for St. Andrews, has included a variety of panelists sharing their perspective on different aspects of the event.
Participants for this panel discussion will be Associate Professor of History and Chair of the History Department David Herr '91, Dean of Students Marti Newbold '76, Vice President for Administration Glenn Batten '90 and College President Paul Baldasare '77. The seminar begins with a reception at 4 p.m. followed by a panel discussion at 4:30.
First sponsored in 1959, National Library Week is a national observance each April sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries across the country. National Library Week celebrates the contributions of libraries, librarians and library workers in schools, campuses and communities nationwide.
