We are jumping for joy that
in the spring Kimball Library will be employing a library page as a paid
position. To start, we will be hiring
one within the next week or so, and in the future we may be hiring another. The page position will be for Atkinson teens
starting at age 16 and up who still attend high school. If you are interested in this kind of work
and are an Atkinson teen that fits the criteria, please stop by the library and
fill out an application form. We will
keep your application on file for at least 6 months as possible new positions open
up. Preference will be given to students
with library skills and library participation.
Spring is about new things,
but if it’s old to us and new to you, isn’t it new? Please note that we have the following events
below in place for adults. If you
haven’t tried them yet, they are new to you!
