Bourne Library Telegram - Jonathan Bourne Public Library
Bourne Library Telegram The Online Newsletter of the Jonathan Bourne Public Library March/April 2011 Happy Birthday Telegram Well, we’ve done it. This issue marks the first anniversary of the Bourne Library Telegram. When we began this online newsletter, we had a grand total of 25 people signed up to receive it via e-mail. Today, we are happy to report that we have over 200 people signed up and our list continues to grow. Thank you so much for your support. We hope that you are finding this newsletter informative and helping to keep you up to date on all that is happening at the Jonathan Bourne Public Library. ____________________________________ 3rd Annual Dewey Classic Miniature Golf Tournament Sunday, March 6 from 10-4 Mark your calendars for March 6 as we once again transform the library into an 18 hole miniature golf course. Organized by the Friends of the Jonathan Bourne Public Library, the tournament is used as a fundraiser for the popular Concerts On the Lawn series held in the summer. Those concerts then become a fundraiser for the Bourne Food Pantry through their admission fee. The cost to play miniature golf is $5 per person a game. The Friends will be hosting their 19th Hole Café in the large Vol. 2 No. 1 meeting room selling breakfast and lunch items. There will also be a raffle, face painting and bake sale too. Don’t miss the fun and be sure to bring your family, challenge your friends, and most of all come support this great program. DEWEY CLASSIC SPONSORS Without the support of our sponsors, The Friends of the JBPL, and you, our players, the Dewey Classic would not be the success that it is.

The Library Trustees are looking for some volunteer help with the flower gardens on the property. In May, a volunteer or two are needed to help prune and clean up the gardens and get them ready for the summer season. During the summer, help is needed to assist dead heading and weeding the gardens in front of the library as well as the memorial garden on the side. There is also a small garden that is waiting for a creative person to help redo and bring back to life. Anyone wishing to help us out should contact Penny Myers at 508-563-6830 or email her at dpmyers@gis.net Library staff members are pleased to announce that customers are now able to pay their overdue fines and fees as well as donate to the library online. Access to the system is from our web page (www.bournelibrary.org). Users are able to pay using credit card (Master Card or Discover) or by Electronic Check. It is free to pay by check but there are fees for using credit cards. Check the payment website for full details. 2 beach, Zumba dancing and Pilates classes.

Program sponsored by the Friends of the Jonathan Bourne Public Library. Meet Terry L. Johnson, our Children’s Librarian, who probably has the most fun of any staff member in the Library. The greeneyed, cheerful, former preschool teacher started her work with the Library in 2000 as a member of the Upper Cape Family Network (now known as the Coalition for Children), a state funded grant program that delivers services to children birth to preschool. She served as a substitute, and then became the children’s library assistant in 2004, moving into the Children’s Librarian position in 2007 when the former children’s librarian retired. Terry loves the color green, the book, Woolbur (Leslie Helakoski), and the authors, Marian Keyes and J.D. Robb. Like Woolbur, she is spunky, creative and unique! Married, with two daughters and two stepsons, Terry loves the ____________________________________ Children’s Room Happenings A big Thank you goes out to everyone who donated PJ’s for our pajama drive.
