Marshall Public Library takes seriously its responsibility to act as a repository for local history. An important part of our Idaho Archives is the collection of yearbooks from Pocatello’s three high schools.
This collection gets regular use for a variety of reasons, whether it’s
research for an upcoming class reunion, providing picture identification for a minor looking to obtain a library card, or a simple trip down memory lane. Because we’re a public library, in the past these books have been set out for people to peruse with no restriction, but they’re becoming worn and it’s hard to find a replacement if a copy gets damaged. We would like to archive a copy of each yearbook to preserve this bit of history.
During the month of September, the library is asking for the citizens of Pocatello and Chubbuck to consider donating any unwanted high school annuals to the Idaho Archive collection so a back-up “archive” copy of each year can be put aside and a “browsing” copy can be left on the shelves. Please contact Trent at tclegg@marshallpl.org or 232-1263 ext. 106 if you can help with this very special project.

Summer Reading Concludes
♦ On Your Mark Get Set…READ!
♦ Get In The Game…READ!
♦ Exercise Your Mind…READ!
What a wonderful summer! You may have noticed the above slogans shared a common theme of being active, which was a perfect complement to this summer’s Olympics in Rio.
In June, people of all ages kicked off our summer programs with a 2.5 mile round trip fun run/walk on the Portneuf Greenway. Then, our days were busy with art programs, story times, movies, foods from around the world/Eat Smart Idaho, Bookwagon in the parks, and S.T.E.A.M. (Science,
Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) activities.
Over 900 people of all ages signed up to participate in our reading challenges and various activities. The Teens celebrated with a “Quidditch for Muggles” party in July and a record number of Teens completed everything!
Many thanks go to our volunteers who assisted not only with our in-library programs, but additionally with the Bookwagon in the parks which boasted 3,000 visitors this year! A special thanks to Eat Smart Idaho volunteers who came every other week all summer presenting information and food to encourage healthy eating.

Donate Toiletries for k-12 Students
Whether students like it or not, the beginning of school is just around the corner. For some families, the excitement of the new school year is heightened by the traditional back-to-school shopping. For others, it's a time of stress and wondering how they'll be able to meet their child's basic needs as they return to the classroom. Marshall Public Library is stepping up to help.
The library has setup a collection point for toiletry items to be donated to the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District #25 supply pantry. From now until September 17, library staff will accept items like shampoo, soap, lotion, deodorant, towels, washcloths, laundry detergent, and combs for students in need. Every little bit, from a tube of toothpaste to a hair brush, will help a local student on their way to educational success.
New and unopened goods will be accepted at the first floor checkout desk. All items will be donated to the school pantries. If you have any questions about this program, please call Amy Campbell at 232-1263 or visit marshallpl.org

Writing the Farm
Join us Tuesday, August 30, at 6:30 p.m. for the first Literary Series program of the fall!
"Writing the Farm: The Appeal and Role of the Rural in American Literature" focuses on the farm as a location with a multi-faceted history. We often associate the farm with a nostalgic past, with family, and disappearing values, but studying the farm in literature allows us to explore it as a changing concept over time.
Jeff Howard's presentation consists of three parts: 1) a workshop in which audience members will have an opportunity to write about their own experiences with farming and farmers; 2) a look at depictions of farming and farmers in Virgil, John Clare, Oliver Goldsmith, Jane Austen, Thomas
Jefferson, John Steinbeck, Robert Wrigley, and others; and 3) a creative nonfiction reading by Howard of his piece "Nest Full of Pinkies," which explores and complicates ideas about values, family, nostalgia, and farm life in the West.

Music in the Library Features Family
On Saturday, July 9, from 1-2 p.m., the Morrissey family will present a musical variety show at Pocatello’s Marshall Public Library.
Michael Morrissey is a local attorney. His wife Shawna was named the 2016 Idaho Young Mother of the Year by Governor Butch Otter. They are the parents of eight talented musicians who range in age from 5-17.
The Morrisseys have lived in Pocatello for nearly a decade and have been the beneficiaries of wonderful piano teachers including Angela Ferrara, Jennifer Scow, Amy Parrish and Laura Larson. They have also learned in Pocatello’s outstanding orchestra programs, including after-school strings, middle and high-school orchestra and the Idaho State Civic Youth Symphony for which their oldest daughter is currently the concertmaster.
The Morrissey children will perform piano solos including John Schmidt’s “All of Me,” Edvard Greig’s “Wedding Day at Troldhaugen,” Frederick Chopin’s “Nocturne” Billy Joel’s “Root Beer Rag” and more. They will also perform number of string pieces including Johannes Braham’s “Hungarian Dance No. 5,” Michael Giacchino’s “Jurassic World,” Gioachino Rossini’s “William Tell Overture,” and what performance would be complete without the popular folk song “Boil Them Cabbage Down.” The family will also sing several fun songs accompanied by the ukulele and the guitar.
Join us at Pocatello’s Marshall Public Library for this free hour of music. For more information or if you are interested in performing at the library, please call Amy Campbell at 232-1263 ext. 106.

Microfilm @ Your Library
Libraries have been repositories of knowledge and record for millennia. Even in the 21st Century, there is information, often of great value, that has not been digitized. We at Marshall Public Library take seriously our mission of providing “a vibrant lifelong learning center with information resources” to all members of our community, both nationally and locally. To that end, we maintain a varied collection of resources for the public’s use.
One of the most unique and treasured of those resources is our microfilm archive of the Pocatello Tribune and Idaho State Journal that reaches all the way back to 1895. Found within the pages of our local paper are obituaries, births, marriages, civic events, and other local history. Want to know about the Portneuf flood in the early 1960s from a contemporary perspective? Looking for history on a local building? Do you need to know when a great-grandfather died? All of these things can be researched in our archive.
If you’ve never done microfilm research before, our staff stands ready to assist you in getting started. The more information you have to begin with, the easier the search will be. Information found can be scanned from the microfilm and saved to a flash drive. It can also be printed out for you at the library’s normal rate. Requests for newspaper research made from outside our library district can be emailed to ref@marshallpl.org.

Large Print Non-Fiction Has New Home
Recently there was a seismic shift on the 2nd floor here at the library. Did you feel the tremors? Entire shelves of books migrated, making way for the establishment of a new section of specialized books.
In the past, large print non-fiction was interfiled and shelved with
standard print non-fiction, making them difficult to discern. To assist our patrons in locating large print volumes, the decision was made in the early part of this year to gather them all together in one separately-shelved but equally-important collection. Since then, our shelving
expert Colleen has been working tirelessly to effect the transition,
completing it just in time for the summer reading season.
So, large print readers, rejoice! Your laborious days of hunting are over! Spend more time reading and less time searching! Browse, select, and borrow with ease from our new large print non-fiction section located right across from the elevator on the 2nd floor! Huzzah!
