2005
Annual Letter to Association Members

November 3, 2006 

Dear Friend,

Nearly 68 years after its founding, the Mount Pleasant Public Library continues to be an important part of the educational and cultural life of our community.  Of the 22,342 titles currently in our collection, there are 872 reference books, 202 DVDs, 124 videocassettes, 229 audio books, 72 current periodicals and 3 newspapers. Just as our inventory continues to grow, so does our patron list. The computers are in constant use, patrons are reading the latest periodical or newspaper, another corner hosts teaching activities (both adult and student), a patron is looking at our DVD display, another patron is in the back room searching through the genealogy books, someone else is standing at the desk searching the automated card catalog, and another patron is in the stacks looking for a book while still another group is in the activity room with a program for children or teens.  Our library is busy.

Our great staff has been busy hosting many programs and events this year. Stage Right Performances, Natureology, Mother Goose Story Hour, Dragonology, Chess, Egyptology, Adult Book Club, Board Games, Walk in the Park, Book Fair, ADAPT Outreach, Story hour, Summer Reading Program, and Robotics, to name a few. These programs have been well attended. The Summer Reading Program had a grand total of 1577 in attendance. Some of our special visitors this year were Representative Jess Stairs who was here to read to the children during One Book, Every Young Child Story Hour and Westmoreland County Prison’s Detective Beacon and his trained dog, Officer Bosco, from the Westmoreland County Drug Awareness Program.        

Thanks to the generous memorial donations from our patrons and their families, we were able to purchase many requested books and audio books.

We invite you to visit our library or check us out online, at www.mountpleasantpalibrary.org.  The staff updates the text and pictures weekly. All residents of Westmoreland County are entitled to a free library card.

We need your continued support through your association dues. New and potential members are always welcome. Thank you.     

Sincerely, 

Nancy J. Sebek
Board President
