Greater Sudbury Public
Library presents:
New Volunteer Program
for Teens – VolunTeen
|
|
The Greater Sudbury
Public Library has created a new pilot program that invites
youth to earn volunteer hours by sharing their ‘tech skills’
with older adults in the community. Youth volunteers, or
VolunTeens, participating in the program will spend time at
various library locations providing technological assistance to
the public. The VolunTeen program will allow seniors and other
adults to find out how to use their personal laptops, get
connected with Facebook or figure out the ins and outs of their
cell phones and digital devices.
“We created this program
in an effort to connect with youth in the community,” says
Rebecca McArthur, Community Librarian for the Greater Sudbury
Public Library. “And to provide an opportunity for them in turn
to connect with other members of their own community through
technological assistance.” The program offers members of the
public some training in areas currently not provided by Library
staff (such as Facebook, Twitter, digital devices, Internet
basics, etc.)
The program will be
starting in January 2012, with applications currently being
accepted from youth interested in participating. There will be
training sessions in January for any youth who put their names
forward in the next month. More details can be found at
www.sudbury.library.on.ca. Application forms can be picked
up at any branch of the Greater Sudbury Public Library.

and stories. Research demonstrates that children who read over the
summer gain in reading achievement and return to school having
maintained or improved their reading skills. Let us help your children
find some great books they will enjoy and stories they will treasure.
How
much does it cost to get my child a library card?
Library cards for infants and children are free. Parents, just show a
piece of your ID with your current address.
Can my
children attend the free programs at any of the 13 libraries?
Yes, they can.
Why should my children participate?
Research shows that
children who continue to read over the summer become better readers and
learn to enjoy reading. Plus, it's fun and there are lots of games,
activities, stories and more to keep kids entertained and reading this
summer!

Winners of Altered Book Challenge Announced
The public was invited by the Greater Sudbury Public Library and the
Sudbury Arts Council to participate in an Altered Book Challenge,
transforming discarded books into art, a challenge to create something
new from books that are no longer used. The art projects entered in the
library’s Altered Book Challenge were judged by artists Kim McKibbon and
John Stopciati. A total of 17 projects were entered in the challenge.
“All the participants in the art challenge presented a creative, three
dimensional, visual and conceptual feast in the transformation of
discarded books,” stated John Stopciati, “The originality, varied
techniques, and materials used in extending the life and importance of
books in history and our lives, demonstrated the endless possibilities
of our imagination of altering the original form of the book into having
added longevity in its new art form.”
The winner of the age 10 to 14 year old category was, Maxine R. for her
creation, “My Babar Pencil Holder.” The winner of the 15 and older
category was Paul and Frédéric Rochon for their work on “A Treasure of
Books”. Second place went to Joyce Latham for her entry, “This Rules”,
and third place went to Amanda Brennan for her piece entitled,
“Emergence”.
Artist Kim McKibbon was very inspired by the creativity and execution of
each piece. “Congratulations to each artist for their entry and unique
idea, “remarked Ms. McKibbon. “Beautifully done, everyone!”
All the entries will be displayed at the Main Public Library, 74
MacKenzie Street until the end of the year.

Interim location for South Branch of Greater Sudbury Public Library
secured
The South Branch of the Greater Sudbury Public Library will operate from
a temporary location at 2120 Regent Street South, starting Monday,
September 21. The interim site will serve library clients until the
construction of the new branch is complete.
“Our numbers show that half of the 24,000 residents in that area are
active library users, representing approximately 20 per cent of total
usage of our library system,” said Greater Sudbury Mayor John Rodriguez.
“I look forward to the day when we can open the doors of our brand new
facility, but in the meantime I hope this temporary site meets the needs
of our residents and allows them to continue to access the exceptional
collections held by the Greater Sudbury Public Library.”
The interim site is located on the side road between the intersection at
Old Burwash Road and Algonquin / Loach’s Road, in the building that
houses Dooly’s. Pedestrian traffic can enter at the main doors of the
building, while vehicular traffic can park behind the building and use
the rear entrance.
"On behalf of the Library Board, I would like to express our sincere
appreciation to all South End residents for their patience over the past
few months. We are very pleased that we have been able to secure a
temporary location that will allow us to continue providing full
services and programming to the people of the South End while the new
branch is under construction,” said Chair Fern Cormier. “While the
circumstances that brought us to where we are today were unexpected we
are very excited that we will have a new facility that will be able to
serve our needs well into the future."
Hours of operation at the interim location will be:
Monday to Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.;
Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.;
Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; and
Sunday, Noon to 4:00 p.m. (beginning October 18).
Construction of the new library branch is expected to begin this fall.

The following has been released to the media.
SOUTH PUBLIC LIBRARY CLOSURE UPDATE
Following the closure of the South Public Library branch last Friday,
March
6, due to structural hazards, the City would like to advise residents of
next steps in relation to this issue.
While no determination has yet been made about the long-term prognosis
for
the Regent Street site, City staff recognize the need for a library
branch
in the south end and are currently looking for a temporary location to
set
up a kiosk that will enable residents to pick up reserved items and drop
off
materials.
Soil tests are still being conducted at the Regent Street site, and
library
staff has been relocated to other branches within the city. A meeting of
the
Library Board is scheduled for March 24. At that time, it is anticipated
that the Board will review options on relocating the South Public
Library
branch on both a short- and long-term basis. Further updates will be
provided as details become available.
The City apologizes for the inconvenience and thanks residents for their
patience.
Media contact:
Eliza Bennett, Manager of Corporate Communications and French-language
Services,
City of Greater Sudbury, 674-4455, ext. 4507
The City of Greater Sudbury advises residents that the South Public
library
branch will be closed to the public as of 5 p.m. tonight and until
further
notice due to structural concerns.
Results of recent soil tests indicate that ground shifting has occurred,
which may result in structural hazards. In the interest of public
safety,
the branch, which is located on Regent Street in Sudbury, will close
until
further notice.
The public may return their library items to any of the other 12 branch
libraries of the Greater Sudbury Public Library system. Reserved items
may
be picked up at the Main Public Library on MacKenzie Street after
Saturday,
March 7. All library programs scheduled at the South Public Library have
been cancelled until further notice.
The City of Greater Sudbury apologizes for the inconvenience, and thanks
residents for their patience.
