After a brief period of closing, to regroup with two-thirds less staff (and more volunteers), the Ocean Shores Library is back in business, welcome news to book-starved locals:

We had a “soft” opening this week of the OS Library and now it’s time to let all our patrons know we are now open on a limited schedule. We will be asking your readers in the next few weeks what new books, DVD’s and CD’s they would like us to purchase. We still only have funding from the City for the 1st quarter of 2010…but we hope to announce a new source of funding in the near future.

OCEAN SHORES LIBRARY HOURS-2010

Sunday and Monday-Closed
Tuesday        2pm to 6pm
Wednesday    1pm to 5pm
Thursday       1pm to 5pm
Friday           10am to 2pm
Saturday       12pm to 4pm

Jim, I would like to puiblicly thank you and your group for makinmg some very difficult choices. I would like to know if any comnsideration was given to being open all day Saturday in lieu of a weekday. From the outside it would seem to me to serve some of our younger users better. Just a thought! Thanks!+

After visiting the library, call the school district and ask to see their library and computers at the elementary schools and junior and senior high school. Then talk to the teachers and find out what they are teaching them. Ask yourself if this is enough. Then ask yourself what you think it will take to improve the curriculum. Is it more money or just selecting a different lesson plan.
