ADULT LIBRARY BINGO CHALLENGE ENDS AUGUST 15, 2009
The Marshall Public Library’s Adult Summer Library BINGO Challenge is coming to an end August 15, 2009. This challenge was more than just reading books. The challenges included tasks like returning materials on time, posting a comment on the Library’s blog, and even checking out a new book. Each square on the bingo card had a different challenge. As with regular bingo, participants had to complete five challenges in a row for bingo. A completed bingo earned an entry in the prize drawing. A blackout, all five rows completed, earned five additional entries in the drawing. The Library would like to thank the local businesses who made prizes possible for the drawing. Prizes include donations from: Mystique Theater, Sandpiper, Perkins, Mama Inez, and Town and Country Gardens.
For those who missed the BINGO Challenge this year, watch for next summer’s Adult Summer Challenge at the Marshall Public Library, along with summer reading programs for children and teens. For more information about this or other Library programs and activities, call 232-1263.

Connie Dubbe Retirement
As I look forward to enjoying my retirement I will definitely miss the friendship and support from the staff here at the Marshall Public Library. I will especially miss the patrons that I have also developed friendships with.
I anticipate spending more time with my husband, children and grandchildren. We have plans to travel, do a lot of fishing and continue our roasted marshmallow eating contest to which I hold the title!
Connie Dubbe
Connie has worked at the Marshall Public Library for 9 years and
prior to that at Hawthorne Middle School’s library for 12 years. She will retire on July 31 after over 20 years of library service. We will
all miss you, Connie!

Improv @ Your Library
A teen walks into the library: “I’m looking for a book on whales.” *switch* “I need a magazine article about the planets.” *switch* “Where is the bathroom?” Improvisation requires quick thinking and creativity. On July 8 at 7pm, members of The Comedy Project, Pocatello’s premier improv troupe, will be at the library to teach some basic improv techniques. But why should you learn improv? The basic skills of listening, clarity, confidence, and performing instinctively and spontaneously are important skills for actors to develop. And it’s useful for more than just acting. It’s fun!
