HILLSIDE HIGHLIGHTS JULY - AUGUST 2008
Welcome to the library’s online information center! Visit this link often to learn about programs, events and new additions at the library. ___________________________________________
Donuts with the Director
Saturday, July 12 . . . 10:00 a.m. – noon Stop by the lobby to meet the library’s new director, Lori Craft. Feel free to share with her your opinions about the library over a donut or two (while supplies last) or just come to say, "Hi." ________________________________________
Library Tagline/Slogan Contest
The library is sponsoring a contest to create a tagline - a catchy phrase to be used for promotional purposes that would sum up what the library has to offer. Just as businesses have slogans like Nike’s "Just Do It" or AT&T’s "Reach Out and Touch Someone," the library would like a snappy phrase to call our own. Official entry forms are available at the library’s Circulation Desk. The writer of the winning tagline will receive a $50 gift card to the Yorktown Mall. The contest is open to all library staff and patrons of the Hillside Public Library. Participants can submit more than one idea. Forms should be turned in at the library’s Circulation Desk by Friday, September 12. The winner will be notified by September 19. _____________________________________
