Outreach Volunteers Needed
Can you imagine your life without library service? Unfortunately, this is a reality for many Pocatello residents. Marshall Public Library has a long tradition of providing outreach service to individuals who cannot visit the library due to illness, injury, or disability. Each month, the library visits area homes, resident care facilities, and disabled housing to provide access to materials to over 150 people.
The library has an immediate need for volunteers to continue this service for our community. Volunteer your time for one or more hours a month to assist library staff in preparing materials, delivering items to patrons at care facilities or patron homes, entering statistics, and maintaining
outreach records. Training is provided for this crucial volunteer position at the library.
Please consider sharing your enthusiasm for public library service by volunteering for the outreach program. To learn more about this and other volunteer opportunities, you can pick up a volunteer application at the Circulation Desk or contact Jamie Bair by phone at 232-1263 ext. 105 or email at jbair@marshallpl.org.

First Graders Visit
April showers bring...hundreds of first graders to Marshall Public Library!
850 first graders from 40 public, private, and parochial schools toured the library last month. After enjoying a storytime, they traveled from the children’s area up the back stairs, many of them visiting the second floor and learning about the nonfiction collection for the first time. The children especially enjoyed the Harry Potter closet and the Tumbleons.
Simplot provided book bags for all the students and each child also got a bookmark, which many of them put to use immediately when they checked out books that day with their very own brand new library cards!

First Grade Visits
In April, the first graders of all the public schools in Pocatello and Chubbuck will come to the library for class field trips. This means that there will not be regular story times during April, but there will still be regular after school activities and family story time. You can look on the online calendar for complete details about what programs will be offered.
When the first graders come to the library, they will listen to a few engaging and informative books. After listening to the stories, the first graders then take a brief tour of the library. For many children, this is the first opportunity they have to visit the upper floor of the library and to see other features of the building. Finally, the students who bring library cards will have a chance to check out a book to take home with them.
A class visit to the library is a wonderful opportunity for children to become acquainted with the library. We hope that visiting the library will become a lifelong habit!
