From the Council News Release (October 4, 2010):

SEATTLE – Councilmember Tom Rasmussen will spend several upcoming Saturdays in the community at Seattle Public Library locations, listening to residents. These informal conversations will take many different directions, with all topics on the table.

“I sincerely hope people will take advantage of this opportunity to have informal yet meaningful conversations about our City,” said Councilmember Tom Rasmussen. “I’d like to hear people’s thoughts regarding next year’s budget, transportation issues, as well as other topics relevant to Seattleites.”

This informal conversation is being held the day before Halloween. No word on whether he’ll be dressing up or not*.

September 6, 2010 by Leave a Comment

The Northeast Library reopens on Tuesday!  Yay!

Strap the kids into the mini-van Volvo station wagon and head on down to 6801 35th Ave NE to return that overdue copy of Harold and the Purple Crayon, but if you’re expecting to go to Story Time…

Tall as a Tree!

…you’re out of luck.

Wide as a...wait a second...

Children’s Librarian Erica Delavan will be spending some of her time this month catching up from the closure and visiting local elementary schools.  Story Times will resume the first week of October.

Erica recommends, in the meantime:

Begin with Books kits: Check out thematic kits for toddlers and preschoolers. More information on how to reserve these kits is here. [http://www.spl.org/default.asp?pageID=audience_children_parents_themekits]

That link will be open on Tuesday, too.
