The Velma Engle Memorial "Read for the Gold" 5K Run and 3K Walk will be held, rain or shine, on Saturday, August 19, 2017, in Bristol Village. The race will begin at the Activity Center, located at 625 Fifth St., Waverly, with registration and check-in beginning at 7:30 a.m. and the race beginning promptly at 8:30 a.m. The registration fee is $10 through August 12, or $15 after August 12. Participants will receive a t-shirt commemorating the event.
Registration forms can be picked up at the Waverly, Piketon, Eastern and Western libraries, as well as at Bristol Village Activity Center. You may also register the day of the race, and a registration form is attached below for your convenience.
Everyone is encouraged to participate by entering, or by coming down and cheering on those who will be competing.
The course is flat and shady through beautiful Bristol Village. Participants will compete on a combination asphalt and concrete course.
The mission of the library is "Educate. Inspire. Enjoy." All proceeds raised will benefit "The Next Chapter," the capital campaign to build a new main library facility in Waverly. You can help support the library by registering for the race!
Stop by the library to pick up an entry form, or click "Read more" below and download the form. For more information about the fundraiser or any library service, call (740) 947-4921.
We are happy to introduce automatic renewals for our patrons!
This convenient service will automatically renew your eligible library materials on their due date, up to four times if there are no holds on the items. You won’t have to lift a finger!
Here's how it works:
Be sure to log into "My Account" to keep track of items that may not be eligible for auto-renewal. You may also call the library to renew or check the due date of items.
The Garnet A. Wilson Public Library has been selected as a recipient of the Young Adult Literacy Service Association’s (YALSA) Teens’ Top Ten Book Giveaway, which will provide our collection with 26 teen-acclaimed books ranging from a multitude of different genres. The Teens’ Top Ten titles are nominated and selected by teens across the nation each year.
Fifty library recipients throughout the country were selected to receive collection from YALSA, which is a division of the American Library Association (ALA). Funding for the book collections is provided by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.
Circulation clerk Laura Erwin has put a lot of time and effort into strengthening Young Adult services in the library, and applied for the grant in an attempt to enrich our collection even further. The library hopes the collection will attract even more teens and foster positive literacy habits in young adults in our community.
