What a fantastic evening in Plains! Amy was the guest speaker at the Friends of the Plains Library meeting earlier this week. She spoke about the state's Friends of Kansas Libraries organization and our Library Leadership Group.
The Veteran Affairs Rep out of Dodge City will be at the library tomorrow, Tuesday, January 10th, at 9:00 am.
You did so amazing in 2022, here is the reading challenge for 2023!
Read 23 books in 2023! Same great cash prizes and drawings for those who complete the entire 23 books. We have bookmarks to track on paper, but free free to track however it is easiest for you. The books do not have to be from the library (but we love it when they are). They can be print or audio, but have to be young adult level or higher.
We would love to know if you plan to participate so we can check in with your throughout the challenge and also at the the end!

We need your feedback...CloudLibrary users, do you feel like you are able to get the books you like to read/listen to?
If the library explored other apps for reading and listening to new books would you use it? Or would you rather call the library to see if we could buy additional copies the book on your "to be read" list so that it was available sooner?
