Dear Friends,
In 2014, Emmet O’Neal Library was selected as the number one city service in a survey of Mountain
Brook residents, and it is not difficult to see why. Your Blue Ribbon Award-winning library, the highest
level of excellence awarded by the Alabama Library Association, is constantly striving to support the
informational and enrichment needs of the individuals and families of the City of Mountain Brook
throughout the year with cutting edge services and regularly scheduled programs for all ages and
interests.
Dear Supporters off
Emmet O’Neal Library,
First, let me express my thanks for and
excitement over Emmet O’Neal Library being
the highest-rated city service in the 2014 survey
of Mountain Brook residents. This library
flourishes under your continued support,
and we are proud to serve the individuals and
families of Mountain Brook.
We’ve launched an exciting new online resource
for Mountain Brook residents! Flipster is
a digital magazine service accessed via the
Library’s website using your library card. View
the magazine of your choice via your computer/
Android browser or download the Flipster app
to your Apple device for on-the-go reading.
There are over 60 titles to choose from,
including Consumer Reports, Fortune, Money,
Southern Living, and more.
The Library’s new Makerspace is up and
running and already gathering an enthusiastic
following of library patrons eager to get started
on their projects. From podcasts, to 3-D
printing, to small-scale video production, our
new Makerspace can do it all!
We were delighted to get out and mingle with
the community this summer! The weekly
Urban Cookhouse Farmer’s Market provided
children, teens, and adults in the community
the opportunity to sign up for summer
reading and library cards, as well as learn
about the great programs and services here at
the library, while we made new and stronger
friendships with local families and businesses.
We also loved being able to help out with the
Crestline Rocks music festival, which brought
a multitude of visitors to the Library and
surrounding businesses.
During any given week, Emmet O’Neal Library offers over 16 children, teen, and adult programs and
hosts about 4,500 visitors. The children’s department is committed to enhancing early literacy skills
for toddlers and preschoolers and keeping the tweens engaged and involved as well. A monthly all-ages
program, Family Night, draws regular attendance of over 300 community members. Over 30 teens stay
involved in our active Teen Advisory Board and our Teen Librarian encourages their leadership skills
in developing and planning teen activities.
The adults stay involved as well. The Library
offers four book groups, a documentary film
series, weekly brown bag lunch programs, a
bi-monthly program on finance and investing,
and a bi-monthly program called Standing
Room Only aimed at the new adults and
young parents in their 20s and 30s in the
Mountain Brook community.
Your Emmet O’Neal Library does not stop
at traditional materials and methods to
encourage literacy and learning either. Beyond

one-on-one help sessions, circulating Nook
e-readers, a great variety of online resources,
and most recently, a cutting-edge Makerspace lab that enables community members to design,
prototype, and create many different types of projects. The Library’s online presence is also popular. In
addition to the almost 4,500 in-person visits, over 2,000 library visits are now virtual visits, through the
Library’s website and social media outlets.
Essential services and materials like these would not be possible without the generosity of many library
supporters. The City of Mountain Brook is our largest supporter, and we extend warm thanks to the
City Council, Mayor, City Manager, and other staff of the City of Mountain Brook. Other essential
supporters include our community funding organizations: Mountain Brook Library Foundation,
Friends of Emmet O’Neal Library, and Junior Women’s Committee of 100. Our gratitude also goes out
to each of you who give so generously to us and these organizations.!

innovations forward into the future.

NEW AT THE LIBRARY:
MAKERSPACE
EMMET O’NEAL LIBRARY
Snapshot
Thanks to funding from Mountain Brook Library Foundation,
Emmet O’Neal Library opened its Digital Makerspace this
summer, the first of its kind in Alabama. What is a Makerspace?
Makerspaces come in all shapes and sizes: they are simply spaces
where people can gather to create, invent, and learn. They provide
tools and equipment that users might not be able to afford, or
have space for, on their own. The Library’s existing electronic
classroom was renovated into just such a space and includes a 3-D
printer, a 3-D scanner, a video green screen, two video rendering
workstations, a laser cutter, and other digital tools.
Who might use a Makerspace? You. Already, students, local
business owners, and inquisitive community members have made
use of the new space.
Over the summer, the Library offered two maker camps for rising
fourth through sixth graders. The campers used technology in
the Makerspace to design their own 3-D projects and print them
on the 3-D printer. These projects ranged from custom-designed
iPhone cases to desktop sculptures of their names. Participants
also created short videos, using the Makerspace’s green screen
to insert themselves into custom backgrounds in order to take
“virtual vacations.”
The Makerspace has been met with great enthusiasm by the
community, inspiring hobbyists, students, and teachers, as well as
entrepreneurs. The future potential of the Makerspace is limited
only by the imagination of those who use it. It will be exciting to
see what they create next.
To make a reservation to use the Makerspace, or for your personal
tour, please call 445-1115.

MOVIE on the LAWN
The school year opened at EOL with a Berenstain Bears Family Night in September. Mama, Papa, Sister, and Brother Bear showed up to share a light
outdoor dinner with the kids and take pictures with them. Next, families used streamers, pipe cleaners, and other colorful accoutrements to decorate
their bikes. After a brief bicycle safety lesson with Officer Fisher of the
Mountain Brook Police, the cyclists were off ! They pedaled and scooted
their way through an obstacle course to the popsicles waiting at the
finish.
KIDS’
TECHNOLOGY
CHOPPED!
EOL EDITION
Upper elementary students are addicted to SNaP,
the Thursday after-school program that offers crafts,
video game tournaments, special guests, wild games,
and more. One of the most popular SNaPs of the
year was the Chopped! cooking competition, in
which students worked in teams to try to make the
best dish from a set list of ingredients. The winning
team took home trophies for their delectable
summer squash pasta.
We remain on the cutting

n eeducational resource for kids. This
year, we added a fullllll set off iPads
P d to our storytime arsenal. They are loaded with the best in
educational and book-related children’s apps, and a squishy case makes them drop-proof and
easy to hold. Summer workshops offered the opportunity for upper elementary schoolers to
engage their creativity in an exploration of the tools available in the brand-new Makerspace.
To use our online resources from home or school, visit our website and navigate your way to
interactive online books through Tumblebooks and Capstone Interactive, or check out an
eee-book
through our online catalog.
Additionally, this school year we
added a subscription to PebbleGo,
a website that simplifies the
research process for kids who have
not yet learned how to type or
skim for information. The Library
is the place to go for the newest
and best in technology
for children.
A NIGHT DARK
and GRIM

The night of fairy tale fun returned, this time
with even more characters, more stories, and
more villains! The photo booth, face painting,
games , and crafts showed up again. This year,
patrons also climbed through a Wizard of Oz
obstacle course, met Peter Pan and his shadow,
tried not to wake the giant from Jack and the
Beanstalk, and participated in a craft and a singalong on the lawn with the cast of Frozen.
SUMMER READING:
G:
FIZZ! BOOM! READ!!
From the JWC kickoff carnival to the
Roger Day finale concert, summer reading

was full of explosive fun. Kids from
birth through sixth grade came around
d
for storytimes, science experiments,
team games, contests, camps, and tons
more. If the pictures aren’t conclusive
evidence that the Library is an excitingg
place, maybe this will prove it: our
summer reading participants read over
1.5 million pages this summer. Wow!
Thanks
to the JWC of 100!
The Junior Women’s Committee of 100 went above and beyond
nd to
t
raise $40,000 for the Children’s Department this year. Thanks, JWC –
we couldn’t do what we do without you!

STANDING ROOM
ONLY
Standing Room Only proved to live
up to its name! In November 2013,
the Library kicked off SRO, an
event series for emerging adults in
their 20s and 30s, with a concert by
acclaimed local musician Duquette
Johnston. Johnston and his band
entertained a crowd of nearly 200
people. A full house also attended
“I ❤ the ‘90s” Trivia in January
for a night of fierce, nostalgic competition. Prizes were awarded to the top three teams
who answered questions about ‘90s pop culture and events. Cocktail enthusiast David
Hornbuckle visited the Library in March to demonstrate the do’s and don’ts of making
homemade bitters in our first mixology class. In May, the Library was turned into a
dancehall for an after-hours dance party! Two DJs took the stage to play vinyl records
while attendees danced the night away under the stars. The Library received another
transformation in July when it was turned into a summer staple—a mini-golf course.
Attendees played the literary-themed holes throughout the stacks and then gathered to
play board and video games.
This is just the beginning! There is much in store for the second year of SRO. Standing
Room Only is sponsored by the Young Friends of the Emmet O’Neal Library, a subset of
the Friends of the Library.
WINE in the WILD
Once again, the 24th Annual Western Supermarket Wine and Food Festival, at the
Birmingham Zoo, was a night to remember. This September event, which benefits the
Library, has continued to grow each year. One-night-only wine deals, raffle prizes, carousel
rides, and exotic animals are just a few highlights of the evening. With more than 500
wines and 40 local food vendors, there is something for everyone.
Thanks to the Festival and generosity of Western Supermarkets, funds are available to bring
acclaimed authors to the Library for speaking engagements and book signings. Both the
Wine and Food Festival and author events are experiences you don’t want to miss.

CHILDREN’S LIBRARY CARD
In order to increase access to our collection, we now offer a children’s library card.
Have you ever sent your kids to the library with their grandparents or babysitter and
forgot to send your library card along? Now they can still check out books if they
visit the front desk and get a library card specifically for children. The card is good
only at Emmet O’Neal Library for three print items. And whenever you’re ready,
you and your child can bring the card to the front desk and fill out the application to
exchange it for a full-service Jefferson County Library Cooperative card. We don’t
want anyone leaving the Library empty-handed!
Flipster is a next-generation
digital magazine solution
that makes it easy for you to read your favorite magazines on
your computer or mobile device. Emmet O’Neal Library is the
first library in the nation to offer access to EBSCO’s new digital
magazine platform.
Mountain Brook residents have direct access through the Flipster
link on our website to hundreds of issues of popular magazines.
Visit our website, find Flipster, and log in with your library card.
You can then click on a magazine to view it within your browser.
This means you can access Flipster from any computer, laptop, or
mobile device, as long as you are connected to the Internet.
Some titles available include Southern Living, Time, Sports
Illustrated, Car & Driver, Consumer Reports, People, Us, and
Veranda.
Not an iPad owner? Never fear, an Android app is coming soon!
Miss Gunter Crommelin
presents a donation of the
proceeds of her Spirit Jersey sales
to Library Board Chairman
Max Pulliam.
If you’ve seen the new Mountain
Brook Spirit Jerseys around town,
you have Mountain Brook High
School student Miss Gunter
Crommelin to thank for it! She
is the designer and seller of the
popular jerseys, with assistance
from the Crestline Village location
of The Pants Store, which also sold
them. Miss Crommelin made the
generous decision to donate the
proceeds of her Spirit Jersey sales
to Emmet O’Neal Library. We
congratulate her on her efforts
and thank her for her donation
to the Library in memory of her
sister, Sally Wade Crommelin,
and grandmother, Mary Moren
Crommelin.
TEEN
UPDATE
From the latest databases
for research projects to
programs that offer our
young people a safe and
fun place to socialize and
learn, the Library opens the
doors to a world of resources
and opportunities for the young adults of our community. The
Teen Advisory Board is a great way for students to get directly
involved in what happens at their local library. The Teen Advisory
Board meets monthly to discuss what programs our teens want
to experience at the Library, and our young people have come
up with some fantastic ideas: Chopped—a cooking competition
that pitted teams of teen chefs against one another, Parent-Teen
Olympics—where you team up with your teenager to compete
against other parents and teens in feats of skill and general silliness
for the gold, and Teen Advisory Board lock-ins—where we spend
the night playing games and watching movies, just to name a few.
To more fully meet the needs of our students, our young adult
librarian regularly visits Mountain Brook High School and
Junior High to connect students with their very own library card.
That little card gives them access to research resources, language
learning tools, free digital magazines and music, downloadable
e-books and audiobooks, and so much more. In addition, we have
partnerships with the teachers and librarians at the schools, so we
have the resources for our students’ school projects at the ready.
Emmet O’Neal Library is a great place for students to study any
time but especially so at exam time when we open our meeting
room to accommodate the large number of students who are
working diligently to excel in their schoolwork. Besides expansive
study space, we provide our young people with snacks and drinks,
so they have the fuel they need in order to perform well. If you
have a student in need of research assistance, send them to the
Library. We will connect them with all the tools they need.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Did you know?
The Library’s Adult Department has a regular staff of
volunteers including Alan Poole, Virginia Clark, and
Rosalind Rust. Members of our Teen Advisory Board
regularly volunteer for the department as well. On any
given day volunteers are busy shelving books, searching
for missing items, and generally helping maintain our
collection. In 2014 alone, our volunteers logged over
300 hours in the Adult Department. We definitely
couldn’t keep the Library working so smoothly without
them!

Katherine Meadow McTyeire
1920 – 2013
Katherine Meadow McTyeire’s
many years of devoted service to
Emmet O’Neal Library cannot be
exaggerated. She served as the first
Chair of The Board of Trustees
of the Library, served on the
fundraising committees which built
the original building, including
later additions, and served as a
community leader and a member
of Emmet O’Neal Library Board
and Mountain Brook Library
Foundation Board for 21 years.
During that time, Mrs. McTyeire
worked diligently on the Library’s
behalf, sharing her knowledge and
expertise with the Library Board,
Foundation Board, and staff of
Emmet O’Neal Library. Mrs.
Katherine M. McTyeire passed away
in 2013, but we will always have a
deep, abiding gratitude and special
appreciation of her dream; still
alive today in the meaningful and
devoted service the Library offers to
the people of the City of Mountain
Brook.

“A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy,
for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and
comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel
bewildered, for there, in a book, you may have your
question answered.”
