Kelso Library to bring you news of newly acquired books

Feb 1, 2012

 Those marvelous folks running the Kelso Library have done it again.  Starting today and on a periodic basis, the Kelso Library staff will present in this blog book reports of new acquisitions.   We encourage you to check out those books that interest you and donate those who you think will interest others as well.

Review:  Autism is not a declaration that normalcy is impossible. “Autism Tomorrow: The Complete Guide to Help Your Child Thrive in the Real World” is a guide for parents of Autistic children who want to help their child overcome their disorder to live something close to what we call normal, as Karen Simmons and Bill Davis advise parents on how to advise their children on the many things that make up the real world, finances, sexuality, employment, health, and so much more. “Autism Tomorrow” is a strong pick for any parent who has higher expectations and hope for their children than to treat them like children their entire life.

Kelso Library moves into 4th floor space

Jan 20, 2012

“Where’s  the Kelso Library?” You groan as you pull up to 2135 Butano  (the space formerly occupied by the Alta California Regional Center) and find that the building is vacant.  The Library moved with the regional center to 2241 Harvard Street, across from the Hilton Hotel. Although the square footage of the room is the same as before and the shelf space is identical, the new library location looks spacious, airy, and inviting.  One of the reasons is that the project that we talked about in our blog of October 20, 2010 successfully weeded out old, outdated  books and videotapes.

I visited the library recently while the library’s governing board held a meeting.  They were all so excited about their new space, the window, and recent Internet and Intranet access to their catalog.  And to top it off, we announced that we would have a short series of articles about them in the regional center blog.
 
Come, visit the library in person between 8:00 to 3:30 Monday through Friday and search the card catalog at
