Miss the good old days of the drive-in outdoor
movies? Then you're in luck because we're bringing them back in
"Dave's Drive-In"! On July 25, you'll be able to bring the family to
enjoy "Enchanted" at 8:30 pm. Bring lawn chairs and blankets.
Refreshments will be available for a small fee but the movie itself
(and popcorn) is FREE!

New Hours at the Headquarters
August 1 will see a change in the hours at the Mary Vinson
Memorial Library. These changes are due to several factors, with
the most prominent being that our funding continues to be a
major concern. Though the city and county did give us our first
budget increase in seven years for FY 09, we're still severely
strapped for cash. The second reason for the changes is due to
the addition in October of a third Library branch, which will
force us to redistribute our staff. The new hours at the Mary
Vinson Memorial Library will be:
Monday: 9 am - 9 pm
Tuesday - Friday 9 am - 6 pm
Saturday 9 am - 1 pm

Mark Your Calendars!
The annual Library Fair will be held September 20th
and will once again feature a huge book sale, food & games for the
kids and a wide range of other fun events, like the Old Capitol
Cloggers, Mark the Magic Man and various sales like plants and flea
market items. Be there from 9 am to 2 pm for the Library's biggest
fundraiser!!!!!!

The Big Read... Coming in Oct '08!
The Twin Lakes Library System is
partnering with Georgia College and State University and
other community organizations in The Big Read, in which
we'll be urging all the citizens of Baldwin County to read
the same book in the month of October. The chosen book this
year is A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest Gaines. Stay
tuned for more details but confirmed events already include
an outdoor showing of the film at Mary Vinson, book talks
and dramatic interpretations of the novel!
