On May 17, the Sidney Public Library announced a new staff member who will lead the adult reading program and the book mobile program.
Julie Stokes took on her duties as the new adult librarian and overseeing the bookmobile program on April 22.
“My book mobile doesn't start until the first of June,” Stokes said recently.
The bookmobile is designed as an extension of the library on 12th Avenue. The bookmobile allows library staff to serve patrons who cannot make it to the library. Stops include daycares, preschools and nursing homes, and the post offices, in the communities of Dalton, Gurley, Lodgepole and Potter.
The Sidney Public Library can also deliver books to homebound residents. This service is available to residents within the city of Sidney. Call the library to have the staff assist in choosing books, books on CD, and DVDs. A library card is required to have books delivered.
The bookmobile starts running for the summer in early June.
Prior to working at the library, Stokes was a stay-at-home mom for her five children, home-schooled her children and then worked at a daycare center.
