Geek The Library Promotes Discussion
Geek the Library is designed to promote conversation about the vital role that
public libraries play in communities. Geek the Library encourages the public to
talk about what they “geek” – everyone is passionate about something – and the
library has resources for them all.
In January, patrons can play “I Geek Trivia” as part of the Geek the Library
promotion. Patrons who answer a trivia question correctly win a button about
whatever they “geek.” Times to spin the wheel are:
Saturday, Jan. 10 from 3-3:30 p.m. in the Gallery of the Main Library
Tuesday, Jan. 13 from 4:30-5 p.m. in the Teen Zone
Thursday, Jan. 15 from 5:30-6 p.m. in the Main lobby
Saturday, Jan. 17 from 12:30-1 p.m. in the Youth Room
Thursday, Jan. 29 from 6-6:30 p.m. at Younkin Branch
More information about Geek the Library can be found at: geekthelibrary.org.
Geek the Library was created by OCLC, a nonprofit library cooperative.
Younkin Branch Celebrates 15 Years
The Ashville branch of the Pickaway County District Public Library was made
possible by the work of local volunteers and the generous financial support of the
family of the late Floyd E. Younkin. In December the Friends of the Library hosted a gathering to celebrate the 15th
birthday of the Younkin Branch Library. Mrs. Irene Younkin matched
the Friends’ 2014 fund-raising efforts
with a gift of $6,000. Pictured seated:
