Absolute Exciting Addition to Our Library!

We are happy to announce that our media catalog is now available ONLINE, yes, ONLINE!

This is an awesome addition to our resources for YOU our PATRONS.

We needed to make an addition to our library that will help our patrons. Having our catalog available to our community will allow you to search our materials before you come to the library so you know what is available.

To login to your account, your username is the complete library card number and the pin is the last four digits of your card number.

Our NEW website address is www.JWLwhitebluff.com and our catalog is cat.JWLwhitebluff.com

Fall and Winter Programs

We MISS YOU!

Sure, we have patrons and community members stopping by for a quick visit, but we miss having story and craft time. We miss having groups. We believe in protecting our community and being responsible as community members, so we are finding a way to reach out.

For our card holding members in good standing, we want to provide a little interaction. We will need some help doing this. And we will need a lot of understanding.

Starting September 12, 2020, we will have a monthly craft available for our juvenile patrons.

On Saturday, September 12th from 11-2, we will have a limited supply of our September Kids Craft. These are first come, first serve. Your child must be present and have their library card to receive one. (This craft is specified for 8 and up due to small parts.)

The Rules:

  1. Must be a card holding member in good standing.
  2. Only one craft per person. The child must be present with their library card.
  3. Understand that we have a limited supply and once they are gone, they are gone.

The Opportunity:

  • We would love for businesses or individuals to sponsor a month.
  • Or hope is to have a teen craft and a kids craft available monthly.
  • These craft kits are take and make. They are simple crafts.
  • We would love to include crafts for our older population as well. 
This opportunity is available because the community has always supported our library through volunteerism and donations. 

We do have a kids craft prepared for October. We are hoping to be able to encourage our community kids to have fun and enjoy. We also love feedback! While we are unable to do these crafts with you, we hope that you send us pictures of your completed projects!

In addition to the October craft, we will also be doing a costume contest for Halloween. More information about it will be forthcoming as we get into October.

Wrapping up August, Welcoming September

We have wrapped up August and jumping into September. This year is going by amazingly fast and extremely slow at the same time. What is important is that our library is here for our community and we love seeing our patrons.

For the month of August, we have had 220 people visit our library. We have welcomed 18 new patrons. This makes us excited to share our resources here at the Jennie Woodworth Library.

Our circulation in August was good as well:

  • 165 Books
  • 2 Audio Books
  • 26 DVDs
  • And the computers were used 60 times.

These numbers show that we have awesome patrons and we appreciate every single one.

September is Library Card Month

At the Jennie Woodworth Library, our library cards are free when you sign up. We require an ID and basic contact information as well as two valid phone numbers with voicemail. Make sure to stop by and get signed up!

We have some exciting programs coming that will require a library card in order to participate.
