Plains’ Director Attends ARLA Conference

The director of Plains Community Library, Sara Munn got the opportunity to go to the ARLA conference in Chattanooga, Tennessee. While at the conference she was able to visit the Chattanooga Public Library. The library had many interesting features such as a sound studio where you can rent out time as well as rent out instruments. They also have equipment set up for a photo studio as a maker space. Sara was able to see some of the sites in Chattanooga which included Ruby Falls. Sara said the city was full of beautiful artwork and it was a great opportunity to attend the ARLA conference.

Kismet Library Ground Breaking

Trip to Emporia, Kansas

Great things are happening at the Rolla Library. This spring, Phoebe Brummett was contacted by Yolanda Robinson, organizer of the 70th Anniversary William Allen White Children’s Book Award celebration. Phoebe was asked if Rolla would be willing to have two students present the book awards on stage to the winning authors. The students that were picked were Abe Weiber a 7th grader and Charlotte Wood a 5th grader. The awards ceremony was to take place on October 1 at Emporia State University. The group then made their way on to Emporia, where they were treated to a private tour of the William Allen White House. Here the students and adults alike learned more about the life of William Allen White. The winning authors soon arrived, and the Rolla students were on their toes, first in line for their autographs. Both authors posed with the children and then the students were off to get settled in the rec center. The group was to be special guests, having breakfast in the VIP room and having lunch with the authors after the presentations were complete. The other 300 guests joined the small group in Webb Hall to listen to the speeches that Charlotte and Abe had written to introduce the authors. The group was tired, glad to be home but happy.  Ms. Phoebe is looking forward to taking a larger group next year once the children all hear the tales from Charlotte and Abe.
