Register to Vote

Public libraries are important sources of information to any democracy. You can find information on all the important issues of the day representing many different viewpoints.

Information is valuable, but only if you use it. Voting is the essence of democracy. If you're not registered to vote, you can get a registration form at the Smyrna Library and the information you need to make intelligent choices.

Don't delay - Register today.

BIRDHOUSES

Be sure to check out the handcrafted birdhouses on exhibit in the Library display cases. George Burkett of Mableton is exhibiting samples of his handcrafted birdhouses and they are true works of art.

You may want to talk to him about moving the birds in your backyard "on up to the eastside".

Art Exhibit

Be sure to check out the exhibit in the Library's art gallery. Dimitri R. Walker is exhibiting his watercolors. His works brighten up any room and are something you must see to appreciate.

Busy as Bees

WOW!

June was the busiest month in the history of the Library.

The number of items checked out increased almost 10% over the same time last year. 5,862 adult books, 8,168 juvenile books and 8,089 audiobooks and DVDs were checked.

27,831 visits were made to the library. (That's 927 people a day.) 2,030 came to the library June 20th alone.

Every SRC Club program has been booked to capacity. Over 160 parents and children attended the Snakes 'R' Us family story time.

I don't know where everyone is coming from, but you're all welcome.
