The days are getting shorter and the air is getting crisper. Pumpkins, mums, scarecrows and sweatshirts are starting to emerge. We can see the bright lights an hear the cheers from the Shelby whippets football field. As we transition into a new season, we want to thank you for your patience as the staff transitioned into a new library system. We have been fully integrated into the SEO Consortium of Libraries and are now able to share materials as the 100th SEO consortium library. The following is an excerpt from SEO about the recent merge.
"The State Library of Ohio Serving Every Ohioan (SEO) Service Center is celebrating a significant milestone with the addition of its 100th consortium member, Marvin Memorial Library in Shelby, Ohio. This addition marks a momentous occasion for the consortium, which encompasses a vast collaborative group of libraries that share their resources within one catalog, enabling each library to benefit more than any single library could on its own."
The Friends of the Library are hosting a Soup & Sandwich Fundraiser Night on Thursday Oct. 24th from 4:30 to 6:00. We look forward to seeing all of you at the library programs and events this month where we plan to have a spooktacular time!
