Adult Winter Reading Program!

While the Elementary School and Junior High School Libraries are closed for the move, students can find the Accelerated Reader books they need to complete the Distinguished Reader program at the Tonganoxie Public Library.  Library staff have been busy putting AR stickers and reading levels on all of our Young Adult and Children’s books.  Teachers are also invited to bring classes to the Library for one-time or regular visits.

At the November 15 Board meeting, Mickey Coalwell, Northeast Kansas Library System, presented President Janet Hofmeister with an Accreditation Plaque, certifying that the Tonganoxie Public Library is a Level I Major Service Center.  A Major Service Center Library at this level has up-to-date library resources, including a public meeting room, service programs, extended hours of operation and a professionally trained library administrator.  Other innovations at the Library that helped us achieve this goal include: remote access to the online catalog with NExpress, adding staff, and providing public access to the Internet on at least 10 computers with a bandwidth of 768k.  We would like to thank the Community for supporting the Library and allowing us to grow our staff and services.
