THANK YOU FOR DONATING BOOKS
The Butler Public Library would like to thank the public for
donating books for our Book Sale Room. The library is
no longer accepting book donations until further notice.
ERIC CARLE INSPIRED PAINTINGS ON DISPLAY
Recently, local art teachers, Tracey
Salvatore and Alyssa Grosso from Aaron Decker Elementary
School in Butler went to a book signing of wee-known
author/illustrator Eric Carle. Mr. Carle just released
his latest book called, The Artist Who Painted a Blue
Horse! Both teachers were excited to bring the new
book back to share with their students because the story is
based on the real artist Marc Franz. According to Mrs.
Salvatore, "We love using children's literature in the art
room to create a link between art and language. Eric
Carle's books are among our favorites. We just
couldn't wait to share this new story with our
Kindergarteners!" After hearing the story and being
inspired by carle's beautiful collaged illustrations, the
Kindergarteners worked together to paint large replicas of
the animals in the story. Miss Grosso then had a
second grade class complete the paintings by addingtextural
paint techniques in the style of Mr. Carle. The
colorful animals were created to be exhibited at Butler
Library. As a gift to the Butler Library, Mrs.
Salvatore and Miss Grosso donated a signed copy of Eric
Carle's book for all to enjoy!
THE BUTLER LIBRARY NEWSLETTER IS GOING GREEN
The Butler Public Library has
been mailing a Quarterly Newsletter to all Butler residents
since January 2007. We decided to Go Green & make the
Newsletter available at the library where you can pick up a
copy at the Circulation Desk. Or go to our website at
www.butlerlibrary.org
where you can view the Newsletter on any computer &/or print
from anywhere.
There is a link on the left side of the Home Page under the
link for the Community page titled
Butler Library Newsletter.
There you will always be able to view the Newsletter online
and print it out from any computer. You will also be
able to pick up a copy at the Circulation desk if you do not
have a computer/printer. The Newsletter contains information for a 3
month period on all of the events and programs at the Butler
Public Library. The
1st Quarter 2012 Newsletter will be available for pick up at
the library and on our website on Tuesday, January 3, 2012. Future Quarterly
Newsletters will be available online and at the library on April 1, July 1,
and October 1. We hope you will
support us in our initiative to reduce, reuse and recycle. We
also hope you will come to the library for a copy of each
Quarter’s Newsletter.
GET YOUR VOICE HEARD
The Library Board of Trustees is developing it's three-year
strategic plan. The first step in accomplishing this is to
hear from the Butler population. The Board is looking for
participants, library users and non-users, – young
professionals, business leaders, parents of school-age
children, seniors, and teens – to learn what’s on their
minds. Surveys are available at the Circulation Desk and
may be completed anonymously. The deadline for
completed surveys is January 3, 2012.
MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC
Along with other public libraries in
New Jersey the Butler Public Library was awarded a grant to
enhance it's music collection through the purchase of CDs.
The Library is taking suggestions on performers and types of
music that people would like to see in the collection. Stop
by the Library with your music wish-list! Deadline is
February 29, 2012.
NEW! - THE CAREER CART
Need help with your resume and its cover letter?
Interviewing tips? Contemplating going into business
for yourself or re-entering the job market? The
library's new display, The Career Cart, helps answer these
and other questions. The books on The Career Cart
circulate for three weeks. Titles include:
"Resources for Re-entering the Job Market", "How to Write a
Business Plan", "Retire - And Start Your Own Business", and
"Cover Letter Magic; Trade Secrets of Professional
Resume Writers." Come check them out.
NEW IN RESOURCES
We have added
in September under our
Resources Page, links to
Encyclopedia of Environmental Issues
&
Magill's Medical Guide.
Under Databases, the Encyclopedia is an easy-to-use &
current reference that has assembled information from fields
of knowledge such as biology, geology, anthropology,
demographics, genetics, & engineering. It explains
their interrelationships in terms that are easily understood
by non-specialists. Magill's Medical Guide covers
topics from A to Z: Abdomen to Zoonoses. It is geared for
patients, caregivers, the healthy but worried population -
offering straightforward, authoritative information that is
more detailed & nuanced than what is generally presented in
the popular press or in self-help guides. Please take
advantage of these resources using your Butler Library Card
Number.
