Simmons Closed Until Further Notice- here are the details

We did everything we could to get the AC units replaced at Simmons before the heat arrived, and we nearly made it, but once they turned the new units on, problems were found and we had to shut it all down again. Camosy and Southport are determined to get us up and running for us. In the meantime, Simmons is closed and staff have been reassigned. Please welcome them at your locations. The ILS has been programmed not to allow holds on Simmons items and delivery will be rerouted to SW. Patrons are being called to offer alternate hold pickup locations. Our notices to the public include a list of alternative cooling centers. Sadly, our libraries are the only cooling centers open past 5pm. 

Bright Spots!

From Karen:
Joe:
Joe was very kind and took time away from what he was doing on Wednesday morning to make a spider web (out of a hula hoop and masking tape) for my Superhero program that night. He even figured out a simple way to hang it in the doorway. The kids really loved tossing pom poms and several "got stuck" in the web. Thank you so much, Joe!!


Hilary:
I was getting the StoryWalk for Hawthorn Hollow together and mentioned that I needed a craft to go along with the book (A Place for Pluto). Hilary stopped what she was doing and came up with a very cute Pluto craft. Thank you so much, Hilary!!


From Marcia:
I would like to nominate Linda, Aliyah, Hillary and Nate for Bright Spot. They all volunteered to represented KPL today in the civic parade and Hillary reports its was so fun.


From Hillary: "I saw a lot of people I knew. One kid yelled, "Hey, can I get a Dogman book?" There were lots of "We KPL!" and "We go to the library every week."


Sadly even though I purchased 60lbs of candy they ran out!


Nate was driver and I assume the picture taker.
