A Note From Our Director Hello and welcome to the Summer edition of The Connection! I hope this issue finds you well and enjoying the sunshine and longer days of summer. Summer at the library is one of our busiest and most exciting seasons, and we have a wonderful lineup of programs and events planned for all ages across the Cabell County Public Library system. I cannot wait to see our libraries buzzing with energy and community all summer long. One of the things I look forward to most each year is our Summer Reading Program. There is something for everyone at the library for every age. I encourage you to stop by your local library, attend a program, register for Summer Reading, and discover everything your library has to offer. Studies consistently show that children who read during the summer months are more likely to retain their reading skills and academic progress, while some even improve over the break. Preventing “summer learning loss” is incredibly important, and libraries play a vital role in helping children continue learning in ways that are engaging, creative, and enjoyable. I would also like to take a moment to warmly welcome our newest Branch Manager, Tera Merritt, to the Barboursville Library team. Tera brings a wealth of library knowledge, experience, and passion for public service, and we are thrilled to have her join the Cabell County Public Library family. I hope you will join me in giving her a warm welcome. We are excited to announce that preparations are underway for our annual Library Gala, our largest fundraiser of the year. This year’s theme, Into the Woods: A Grimm Affair, promises an enchanting evening inspired by Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Save the Date information is listed below, and we would love for you to join us. We are also seeking corporate sponsors and community partners, with every dollar raised supporting literacy efforts, educational programming, outreach initiatives, and welcoming spaces for our community. Thank you, as always, for believing in your public library!
Stop by the Main Library this summer and strike a pose with our new “Unearth Your Story” dinosaur photo backdrop. Snap a photo, tag us on Facebook, and sign up for Summer Reading while you are here. We cannot wait to see everyone’s prehistoric adventures. Check out the staff photos below for inspiration!
