B.Y.O.B.: A New Type of Book Club

 

This summer, the Dover Public Library will be introducing a new book club called the B.ring Y.our O.wn B.ook club: B.Y.O.B. Unlike traditional book clubs where all members read the same thing each month, B.Y.O.B. members each read a different book of their choosing within a certain theme or genre. Another difference: B.Y.O.B. will meet at a different local establishment each month, starting at Krocker’s Bar & Grill in downtown Dover. Sound interesting? Join us June 19 at 7 PM at Krockers Bar & Grill to see what it’s all about. We’re starting out with “fiction,” so bring along a favorite novel or a recent read–anything goes! If you enjoy books, beverages, and great conversation, then B.Y.O.B. is the book club for you.

B.Y.O.B. meets the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7 PM beginning June 19.

For more information and to register, call 330-343-6123 or email librarian Kathryn Green at kgreen@doverlibrary.org.  

Welcome to Our New Website!

For the past year a very special committee has been working on updating our library website.  Staff members Liz Strauss, Mary Prysi, Claire Kandle, and Kathryn Green have done an excellent job taking input from other staff members and library patrons to create a fresh new DPL website.  A lot of time was spent exploring other library websites from across the country to discover what worked and what didn’t work.  It was important that library staff have access to make changes and corrections when needed and to not have to go through an outside administrator or web company.  The committee discovered that many libraries and non-profits are now using WordPress as a DIY website platform.  Known primarily as simple blogging software, WordPress is now making a name for itself as a way for small organizations to have  clean and professional websites for a fraction of the cost of a mainstream commercial site.    For a minimal cost, the library is able to customize and have complete control over its web identity.  We hope you like the clean, fresh look and above all find it user friendly and intuitive.   We understand that the website is a work in progress; if you have any suggestions as to how we can improve the site please let us know!  -Jim Gill, Director
