Enhancing the lives of our community members by providing access to information.
From November 1st-June 1st we run our Salmon Bookfolk Challenge for adults where patrons sign up to read 24 books in 24 separate categories, with a few surprises along the way. This year we had a record number of 24 finishers giving us over 50% finish rate of active participants! Way to go Salmon readers. Time to enjoy a few summer reads on your TBR shelf before gearing up for next year’s challenge.
he Book Sale is still up and running, come in and take a look! A special thank you goes out to all who came out to support, and to all those who made it possible.
Eastern Idaho Public Health partnered with us to bring BLOCKFest to the Salmon area last Friday, April 5th. BLOCK Fest® is a family interactive event that uses five play stations to introduce participants to the educational value of blocks. BLOCK Fest is a research-based exhibit that helps raise awareness of early math and science skills while providing opportunities to increase social skills and literacy opportunities for young children by offering hands-on block play. Parents discover how they can help their children learn early math and science concepts while they play with blocks through guided play and conversation. The Mayor and County Commissioner joined in on the fun and proclaimed April as Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month, and reminded us all to do our part to protect our future generations. We had 79 participants. Thank you to all who made this wonderfully educational event possible. We are looking forward to future youth programming and building upon these community bonds.
We had a spectacular time celebrating AG Week here at the library! With the help of the UI Extension Lemhi County office and the local FFA students we learned about Idaho’s agriculture industry at Storytime on Wednesday and Friday. They brought us agriculture coloring books and crayons, and wonderful books about where our food comes from. We even made homemade ice cream! Thank you to all who made these events, and the rest of the Ag Week celebrations possible!
