In Bellview library, share favorite Dr. Seuss quotes

Bellview Elementary School will observe Read Across America Day on Monday, in honor of children’s author Dr. Seuss. In the Bellview library, I put up a sheet of paper from a newspaper end-roll. Staff, students, volunteers ... share your favorite Dr. Seuss quotes. I’ve started things out with a selection from The Lorax.

Cuesta College internship: Site visits resume

A selfie — “shelfie” — in the stacks: With the Medford teachers’ strike settled, I was able to resume site visits for my Cuesta College internship in Library and Information Technology. I helped out this week with textbook inventory at the Medford School District’s Instructional Media Center. Using a handheld barcode scanner, I worked from a list of textbooks and scanned the barcodes on each copy.

How would a pair of shoes look decorated with comic decoupage? Bring your own shoes and find out during the next Teen Crafternoon, 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday in the teen department at the Ashland Public Library.

“Decoupage” involves decorating an item’s surface by applying paper cut-outs and coating it with varnish or lacquer.

Check the library’s online catalog or browse among 745.546 in your branch’s nonfiction stacks to look for books about decoupage.

Esther Mortensen, teen librarian, indicated that she also has a pile of magazines in her office if participants want other pictures to decoupage. Ashland library is located at 410 Siskiyou Blvd. For more information, call 541-774-6994.
