The large display case at the entry to the library will have an exhibit that will be added to all year...once a month somehting will be changed as we cover the themes through out the year. The item will have the month and theme in its description. The good life can encompass a wide variety of topics, but we want to emphasize trying new things, being the best person possible, striving to achieve, and being grateful for what we have. The monthly themes will add to this overall yearly theme.
A call for volunteers needed for programs throughout the year will be put out this month through emails to all the departments that service the tribe, and to any tribal member mailing list we have in our database. Parents, community members, the Silver Feathers (elder group), and youth who need community service hours will all be potential volunteers.
The library will also attempt to see if the Silver Feathers would like to initiate a 'Friends of the Library' group. The group could run a book store or exchange, participate in activities, help fundraise, or volunteer.
Children participating in storytime will be asked to fill out one of the forms below. The library will store these in a binder until the end of the year, and the children can see how they have changed.
During the year of 2013, children may come in to the library during the month of their birthday and choose a book to dedicate to the library. They will fill out a dedication card (see below), and be able to see who has dedicated the books they check out from the library. This will be advertised during stroytimes, it will be included in regular fliers that are mailed to the membership announcing library programs and events. The library will also be featured in the tribal newsletter in January and it will be announced there as well.
