The framed portraits of Abe and George have been moved to a different wall and replaced with a color mural. The 4′ x 8′ photo mural has been installed on the wall by the computer terminals.  The original photo was taken from the Munson Lakes Nutrition tower (thanks, John) and shows Howard Lake, Memorial Park and surrounding areas in the Spring.

This is the first stage in the Friends of the Library’s plan to give our indoor library space an update.  The photos don’t do the mural justice, so please stop in and have a look.  We appreciate your feedback.

The 2012 SRP started with ice cream cones and ended with old time games, Kool Aid and cookies.  It was a successful summer with many readers enjoying their books and the prizes they earned by reading.  The Friends of the Howard Lake Library hosted the ending celebration on August 9th on the library plaza. The weather was perfect and even construction debris couldn’t hamper the games.  The three grand prize winners were announced and everyone who participated in the games that evening got to choose from a variety of prizes from the big blue tub.

Thank you to the library staff for all of their hard work. And readers, we hope to see you again in 2013.

Check out the photos to see some of the fun.
