“All About Me” story time starts this week! There are still a few opening for the Tuesday evening sessions and one for the Wednesday afternoon sessions. Classes begin April 13 (Tues) at 7 to 7:45 p.m. and April 14 (Wed) at 4 to 4:45 p.m. here in the library. Story time is for children four years-old through Kindergarten. The classes will run weekly for six weeks, ending on May 18th and 19th.
Do you like to dance? Or would you rather play basketball? Do you like the color red or maybe purple? Do you enjoy going to the zoo or would you rather go bowling? Everyone has favorite things they like to do and even some not so favorite thing they’d rather not do. That makes you who you are! That make you – YOU and me – ME!
Parent must come to the library to enroll their child prior to the beginning of these classes. Our space is limited, therefore we accept enrollment on a first come basis.
Our theme for this story time is “All About ME!” We will learn that everyone is unique, we have different likes and dislikes, we may look different, but many times enjoy doing the same things. Some days we feel happy and the next day we may feel grumpy or tired! No matter how we look or feel or what kinds of things we like to do, WE ARE WHO WE ARE and that is WONDERFUL!
The library staff looks forward to reading stories, playing games, singing songs, and making crafts with the children as we have FUN learning “All About ME!”

Many of our patrons have inquired about our web page. “Why is it so different?” “Why can’t I access the card catalog or my account from the web page?”
The answer is we have been down for several weeks thanks to a ‘ hacker’, who played havoc with a number of Kansas Library’s web pages. Thanks to all who have worked long hours to correct this unfortunate situation, we are almost back to normal.
I hope to have time to finish this process on NCPL’s end of the matter very soon. I’m very happy that so many of our friends missed our web page and we are pleased that you can once again enjoy the convenience of using our web page. Thanks again for your understanding and support!

Your library is now offering a NEW service, CD and DVD disc cleaning.
With the aid of a matching grant from the Southwest Kansas Library System, the library has purchased a “Disc-Go-Devil” disc cleaning machine. The original reason for this purchase was to extend the life and circulation time of library owned audio CDs as well as our collection of DVDs. However, the staff and trustees have decided to offer this service to our patrons as well. There is a small fee to help cover the cost of cleaning supplies.
Please feel free to call the library with questions concerning this NEW library service.
