COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
Community Connections is a new outreach
program sponsored by SNHL to create
community, cultivate a culture of literacy, and
show our local businesses and organizations
that they matter to us. You might have
noticed Community Connections posters
at your favorite store or business, and
at the Library. These colorful posters let
everyone know what local merchants and
service providers are reading, watching, and
listening to. Not only do they help connect
businesses with customers, patients, students
or congregants, but they also help you folks
in the community find your next read (books
and magazines), listen (audiobooks and music
CDs) or watch (movies on DVD). And ask our
staff for help with ebooks, downloadable
movies, TV shows, magazines and more. All
free with your library card! Local businesses
and organizations who would like to
participate should contact Ing Kalchthaler at
the Library.
