Notary Public Service at Pioneer Memorial Library!

We are excited to tell you about another new service that the Library is offering for local residents. We found we were having numerous requests for a notary. In staff discussions, Kim Brier, our Assistant Director, stated she’d like to take on that portfolio. With Pioneer Memorial Library Trustee Board approval, we now have notary service available for a nominal charge of $2.00 per notary item. Notary service will be available, Monday through Friday 9:00 am. until 5:00 pm. (as long as Kim is in the office). You can always call ahead and make an appointment with her (460-4470).

Laughing Matters: Chain Reaction

75 people enjoyed a silly afternoon with Jay and Leslie Cady. They served up some solid science and created a hilarious chain reaction with audience members.

Give those kids a hand! We as adults know how hard it can be to keep all those plates spinning in the air at once!

Spin, POP, Boom!

69 people attended a wonderful afternoon with Mad Science of Colorado. Everyone enjoyed the scientist's energetic and spectacular program that introduced many of the kids to the exciting world of chemistry.

He even gave our children's librarian an extra hand (seen in the picture) for doing such as fantastic job with summer reading!

BubbleRama: Summer Reading Kick Off Event

Approximately 150 people stopped by on a hot day in May when we had bubbles everywhere on the east lawn of the library! Big Bubble Pools, Bubble Snakes, Bubble Wands and Bubble Art were just some of the fun had by local children and their parents. Sign Up for the Reading Challenge Game was also taking place.
