June 2011

Order NOW through Thursday, June 30!
July is National Blueberry Month! We’re gearing up for a great summer with a blueberry-themed fundraiser. During May and June, the Fredricksen Library will be pre-selling 10 lb. boxes of fresh blueberries from New Jersey. It will be a fun and delicious way to kick off the summer, AND it will help the Library raise some extra funds! We’ll also highlight some of our favorite blueberry books in the Children’s Department, such as Blueberries for Sal, and pull together some of our favorite blueberry recipes for you to enjoy. You can pre-order your blueberries starting May 16th at the reference desk. Cost will be $30 per 10-lb. box – not only will the purchases be sales-tax exempt, but patrons will also get credit for a $10 tax-deductible donation. Where else can you buy fresh blueberries at wholesale prices AND help the Library at the same time? Pick-up for the blueberries will be at the Library between July 5-8.

These Books are Made for Walkin’ @ Fredricksen Library!   Adult Summer Reading Program!
June 1 through August 28
Back by popular demand! Exercise both your mind and body! Exercise your mind by reading and evaluating the books you have read, and enter to win one of our weekly drawings. If you choose to, exercise your body by joining us in walking! You may talk to others about what you are reading as you walk or just listen to books on your mp3 player or the library’s playaways or shuffles. We will be walking on Wednesdays beginning June 1st at 6:30 pm, and on Fridays at 8 am beginning June 3rd. The meeting place is near the small parking area in Seibert Park by the Camp Hill High School Football field fence. The one loop that includes hills is about 2/3 of a mile, or extend the walk 3/4ths of a mile by taking the path to the Conodoguinet Creek. It is also possible to select a flat route by using the underpass under Routes 11 and 15 and walk in the residential area. This walking part of the program is optional but we think it will be fun! 
REGISTER ONLINE starting June 1 at fredsummer.org.  Sponsored by Friends of Fredricksen Library.

Leap the Line LARGE PRINT(LP)!
Bonnie Goble, Fredricksen Director
Fredricksen / East Pennsboro Branch’s new program Leap the Line has proven to be a favorite. In this program, a patron donates $10 (tax-deductible) to the library. In return, the library purchases an additional copy of any item which is on hold. The donor is the first to borrow the item, which goes out for twice the normal borrowing period. If it’s a book, it goes out for 4 weeks. If it’s a DVD, it goes out for 2 weeks.

When the item is returned, it goes into the regular collection and is used for other borrowers’ holds. The Leap the Line donor has thereby provided an additional copy for other borrowers, which shortens the holds line for all other borrowers.

Due to the thoughtful questions of a Leap the Line donor, Leap the Line Large Print (LP) has launched! (Please note, in honor of the add-on program, our Froggie mascot is now sporting sophisticated reading glasses.) This is how the new program works. A donor for Leap the Line LP makes a donation of $20. Large print books are more expensive, by far, than regular print books. The large print book is purchased, and the donor borrows it first. When the book is returned to the library, it goes into the regular large print collection, thus benefitting many other borrowers who prefer large print materials. The donation again benefits others who have the large print item on reserve, by making available an additional copy of the book.

Leap the Line has already made possible the addition of many copies of high-demand books and DVDs. Now the library’s large print collections will also benefit. Please consider participating in this unique program. Your donation initiates purchase of an additional copy of a high-demand item, and your donation in turn helps to shorten that holds line for others. Win-win, and now large print is included.

Thank You Mr. Craumer!
As a thank you to Mr. Craumer, who has sponsored the Writer’s Workshop for the past 8 years as a memorial to his late wife, Natalie, the current class presented him with an original painting by Mr. Pineda. The painting depicts themes from great literature and is signed on the back by all class participants and Ms. Stewart, the workshop leader since its inception. In 2010, Mr. Craumer’s generosity also made it possible for Fredricksen to buy 46 new books on creative writing for our collection.
