Water Your Mind Summer Reading for Adults
Pocatello's Marshall Public Library, 113 S. Garfield Ave., encourages all adults in the community to "Water Your Mind" with the Summer Reading Challenge 2010. Adult readers can join in the fun of the summer reading program and be good reading role models for the younger readers this summer. This program allows participants to read some of their favorite books and also encourages them to, perhaps, learn some trivia.
Registration begins June1, 2010. Each participant will receive a reading log to keep track of the books they read this summer. Along with the reading log, different challenges will be made available throughout the summer. Each time a participant finishes a challenge they will receive a small prize and will also be entered into a drawing that will be held at the conclusion of the program. The last day for all challenges to be completed and turned in is August 20, 2010. For more information, call Becky at the Library, 232-1263 x 41.

MPL's New Website Debut
It’s been two years in the making, but the Library’s new website is finally here. Marshall Public Library's new Website went live on April 28, 2010 at www.marshallpl.org.
The new website was designed for ease of use in finding the information you need quickly. The website is best viewed using Mozilla Firefox. You can download that browser free at www.mozilla.com.
As with most new websites, it will take a few weeks to remove the bugs, fix broken links, etc. A few of the pages are still under construction, but they will be available soon. Please let us know if you find something that doesn't work properly.
The Library's new website was created with you in mind. Take a look around, and leave a comment on our blog or Facebook page, or email webmaster@marshallpl.org. We'd love to hear your feedback. And stop by the library to see all that we have to offer!

Cecily Retires after 5 Years at Library
After working at MPL in circulation and interlibrary loan for five years, I am retiring on May 31. I will miss the personal contact with the patrons. I enjoyed discovering new authors and reading my old favorites.
After retiring, I’m going to do more reading and digging in dumpsters for treasures. I love yard sales and will be doing more of those.
Immediately after retiring, I am going to the coast for six weeks and on a Montana road trip. I’ll also be busy trying to sell my house. And, best of all, I will be hanging with my 3 kids, 9 grandkids, and 3 great-grandkids!
