Book Festival at the Pioneer Memorial Library - September 14, 2014

The Pioneer Memorial Library held its first Book Festival. We opened up the basement on a Saturday morning and afternoon, had the authors set up their materials for the visiting public.  We also had some of them scheduled to speak each hour to interested participants upstairs in the meeting room.

We'd like to thank Ray Imhoff who volunteered to make this event happen. An author himself, he knows how important it is for authors to have opportunities to share their creations.

A life honored! Debbie Tittel, Assitant Director Passed Away Friday 13, 2013.

The Pioneer Memorial Library suffered the loss of two dear people on Friday, September 13, 2013.  In order to allow staff the opportunity to attend funeral services and tie to grieve, the library will be closed the above hours. We appreciate everyone’s concern and cooperation.

 Wednesday: In honor of Debra Tittel (1952-2013), Assistant Director. 

“Debbie” as she was known will be greatly missed by family, staff and community members. She lived her life commitment to the library daily. She served as bookkeeper, Assistant Director and Acting Director when the library was looking for a new director.  The community and staff will miss her and Doug’s flair in cooking for events such as Booked For Lunch, Chocolate and All that Jazz, Murder Mystery and receptions and lunches.  She always had a smile and a kind word. When she was walking through tough times she took time to care for others and make sure they were served!

 


Thursday: In honor of Mary B. Smith (1925-2013), mother of Nancy Saddler (PML Staff member), and Former PML Board of Trustee, Friends Board and one of the key persons to establish the Friends of Pioneer Memorial Library, as well as serve on that board later on. Mary has volunteered at the library for many years thereafter.
 
With these factors in mind,
 
THE PIONEER MEMORIAL LIBRARY WILL BE CLOSED
the following times due to library personnel loss and death by staff:
WEDNESDAY, September 18, 2013 – all day and evening
THURSDAY, September 19, 2013  between 8:00 – 1:30 pm

Booked for Lunch - September 2014 - Gene Rothfuss speaks


 Gene Rothfuss started off our September 2013 - Booked For Lunch  for the fall by discussing the book, "Israel, by Martin Gilbert.  He also presented a number of other books that explain the Israeli and Palestinian conflict. It was a good review of literature and the issues that were brought to the audience for their consideration.
