Summertime at the library is a busy time. The children and teens are often involved in the Summer Reading Program, but my question to you is, why should the youth department have all of the fun? So, this year the Marshall Public Library is presenting a summer program just for adults. Sign-up begins June 1st at the Reader’s Advisor desk; registration is required. The Adult Summer Library BINGO Challenge is going to last through the summer until August 15.
This challenge is not just reading books. Other challenges include returning your materials on time, posting a comment on the library’s blog, and even checking out a new book.
Each square on the bingo card has a different challenge. As with regular Bingo, participants must get five in a row for Bingo. A completed Bingo earns an entry in the prize drawing. A Blackout, all five rows completed, earns five additional entries in the drawing. There will be some fun prizes too that are made possible through donations from local businesses.
Come in and sign up today for the Adult Summer Library BINGO Challenge. Registration is limited. The sign up period is June 1 through June 30. Be among the first to register and receive a bookmark.

LOCAL EDUCATION EXPERT/AUTHOR PRESENTS PROGRAM AT LIBRARY
Sister Dorothy Prokes, F.S.E., founder of Pocatello’s CRE-ACT School, will present a program especially for educators May 27, 2009 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Marshall Public Library, 113 South Garfield Avenue. Prokes will discuss her recent book, A Road Map to Education, in which she outlines her CREative ACTing approach to education that she developed in 1972 after more than 30 years as an educator. This alternative approach to a traditional curriculum involves the integration of the visual arts, music, dance and drama into the curriculum in order to encourage personal development and formation among students.
Copies of A Road Map to Education will be available for purchase at the program, as well as copies of the accompanying teacher’s manual. For more information, call the Library at 232-1263 extension 41.

Curb your car! Bike, bus, walk or carpool
The weather outside is NICE! And so we hope it remains, as May is National Bike Month, as well as Pocatello's Bike to Work Month. To celebrate and show our support, Marshall Public Library is one of many businesses and volunteers working to promote alternative ways to get to work and school for the whole month of May.
Biking is a great way to get in shape, be healthy, and pollute less. Throughout this month we ask you to watch for these bicyclists and walkers on the streets.
An employee challenge to sign up and ride to work at least 60% of your work week will also entitle you to discounts at local businesses and even a one-time $5.00 reduction in any library fines you might have, just by showing the Bike to Work decal you will receive when you sign up. For more info to to www.pokybiketowork.org.

The library is Bigger than You Think
Although Marshall Public Library owns over 150,000 items, there may occasionally be something you need that the library doesn't have. If MPL is your Home library, you may ask about an Interlibrary Loan.
Interlibrary loan is a method of borrowing books, magazines articles or other materials that our library doesn't own. We have access to libraries around the state and across the nation.
This is your Home library is you live within the city limits of Pocatello and hold a current MPL card. You can also choose to make this your Home library by paying $45.
You may request one item per day for free. Occasionally the lending library will ask that you reimburse the postage, which is about $2.32 per item. Ask for more information at one of the library desks or phone 232-1263, ext 22.

Library Radio Show
The Marshall Public Library has joined with ISU's KISU (91.1 FM) radio station to present The Marshall Public Library's Radio Program aired on the 2nd Monday of each month from 6-7 pm.
MPL's staff members Amy Campbell and Ann Mercaldo have been producing these programs for nearly a year now. The half hour format of information about library events, policies, programs, etc. evolved into a full hour program in April 2009. April was National Poetry Month, so Campbell recorded local poets reading their works. Mercaldo interviewed cowboy poet/humorist Baxter Black for the second half hour. Future programming will include more local poetry, interviews with JA Jance, Nancy Pearl,and Peter Westbrook.
We are very fortunate to have the support and encouragement from KISU staff for their expertise and generosity in helping us to make this idea become a reality.
