At a recent meeting, we introduced ourselves by telling the group what we liked about our job. This is an easy question for me, and one that has several possible answers. I stood up and said that I liked the variety at the Pendleton Community Library.
You never know what a day at the PCL will throw at you. Two Fridays ago, Sara and I were taking apart a toilet, trying to get it to stop running. Earlier that day, I was taking apart shelving. The last time I was at Dollar General, I bought 40 bottles of laundry detergent for Project Suds. The last time I was in Marsh, I walked out with an overflowing cart of day-old bread. Today I was in Indianapolis for a meeting. Yesterday I was in Anderson for a meeting. And last Friday, I was in Carmel for a conference. On Sunday, I was at the Mad Hatter's Tea, talking with a rabbit. And, the very next day, I met an Iditarod racer and a bona fide sled dog. Some days, I find myself digging in the dirt out in the community garden. And other days, I find myself digging through blueprints for the answer to a question.
Like they say, "Variety is the spice of life." It helps us "Escape the Ordinary," which is this year's theme for the adult summer reading program. The library offers daily opportunities to escape the ordinary, and not only for those of us who work here. Our collection of movies and books has something to offer, no matter what your tastes. Our programs for kids include traditional storytimes and fun activities like "Kids in the Kitchen," "Kidz Rock," and our upcoming "Donuts with Daddy." Our teen space is packed full on Wednesdays and Thursdays for those who just want to socialize and snack and for those who want to play video games on the 65" screen. Upcoming programs for adults include UFOs in Indiana, a digital photography workshop, edible landscapes, and a holistic health fair.
Whatever your age, whatever you like, whatever the day... There is always something going on at the Pendleton Community Public Library, for YOU.
Student Portal
|
By using their "One Card, One Student" (1C1S) library card, local students can access digital materials through the Pendleton Community Public Library’s Student Portal. The Portal offers access to e-books, audiobooks, educational databases, and learning resources, all carefully curated for subject matter and age appropriateness. The Student Portal also offers access to tutor.com, a live, one-on-one tutoring platform that provides personal assistance to students from elementary school to college. Some of these resources require a library barcode for access. Students should use the barcode on the back of their 1C1S card, if prompted. If asked for a PIN, use 1234. If you have questions about 1C1S, or any of the library’s resources or services, please call (765) 778-7527. |
