Visit to Kenyon Public Library
October 28, 2008 08:41 AM | GeneralMichael Scott, Assistant Director
On October 17, 2008, I had the opportunity to visit the Kenyon Public Library in Kenyon, MN. I met with Linda Barsness, the Library's director and also got to meet two of her staff members, Barbara Bonde and Erin Vieths. The library is located in the main City Hall building within the business district of Kenyon. The library itself is a nice bright space and the ever important but often missing STAFF WORKROOM! The children's area is located at the back of the library with a nice mural with storybook characters painted on the wall. There is also several seating areas for patrons and public access computers available as well.
On Fridays, the library has storytime for children in the morning. I was able to witness a great storytime with the topic of dinosaurs on the schedule the day I visited. Barbara Bonde did a great job of incorporating books, music, dancing, and crafts into her storytime and even had a "dinosaur egg" that was about to hatch. Take a look at the photos on Flickr to see this and other photos from my trip that day (including a wonderful photo of a dancing library director!)
I always enjoy my visits to our member libraries and continue to work hard and getting out to our libraries. If I haven't been to your library yet please don't worry; I'll be calling or emailing you in the near future. Then you too can have a "Visit" posting on the SELCO Librarian blog.
Thanks to Linda, Barbara, and Erin for a great visit!
