How people keep up with their blogs is a mystery to me. What other things have they given up to find time to post? Meals? Sleep? The former I could stand to give up; I refust to give up the latter! Anyway, here I am two weeks after a fabulous open house in Barnegat writing to say what a success it was and that I look forward to doing it again. The library continues to reach out to homeschoolers to see how we can best meet their needs. As a result of the last open house, there is going to be a database training class for homeschoolers and their parents (and anyone else in the public who may be interested) in the Barnegat Branch on June 11. While the lack of a computer lab prevents this from being a hands-on program, it promises to provide lots of vital information to those who attend. The library's databases are a wealth of information that may be accessed 24/7 and continues to be both one of our greatest resources and best-kept secrets! (not by our intent - we are trying to get the word out)
Hmmm...I am trying to decide where to have the next open house...

Prom time!
I know this is late, but there is still time...
I have known people who have attended this in the past and thoroughly enjoyed it. If your group is not large enough to hold a prom of their own, this is the way to go!
