Adopt an Author

3/31/2010

It occured to me as I listed the new titles in the previous blog entry, that several of the titles have been purchased by "Adopt-an-Author" donations.

The Adopt-an-Author program is a great way to help the library and to be the first to read the newest title by your favorite author. You choose the author, we purchase the books each time a new one is published. We'll put a book plate in the book honoring the adopt-an-author donation and contact you when the book arrives. You pay the price we pay: usually between $14-$17 and you get to be the first person to check it out of the library.

Thanks to the many folks who have adopted authors. Many best selling and favorite authors' books are on our shelves thanks to your donations. If you are interested in becoming an adopt-an-author, please contact us and let us know.

Winnie Belle Learned Fund Grant!

The Lanpher Library has received a grant for $1000 from the Vermont Public Library Foundation Winnie Belle Learned Fund. The library will use the funding to purchase the Vermont Center for the Book, Mother Goose Program's "What's the Big Idea?" Librarian Kit to connect math and science ideas with the books and programs we already have in the library. In addition, several new books with math and science themes will be added to the library's collection. To extend the learning beyond the library, the grant includes "What's the Big Idea?" Family Kits for families and child care providers to borrow and use with children at home.

The Winnie Belle Learned Fund was established in 2006 by Dr. Burnett Rawson in cooperation with the Vermont Community Foundation in honor of Winnie Belle Learned, a Vermonter, educator and his benefactress. The goal for the FUnd is to help public libraries of Vermont foster literacy, love of learning, critical analysis and intellectual exploration in their communities, among children of all ages and their families.
