Ernestine Titus Librarian Our Library works closely with the Oklahoma
Department of Libraries on many of its wonderful and creative activities, including an Interlibrary Loan program. In this
way, if we do not have a particular book or item of information desired by a patron, we will send out an inquiry to all other
participating public libraries in Oklahoma. If they have it, they mail it to us for our patron's use. In this way, everyone
has the resources of All libraries at their command. To learn more about the various programs and activities developed and
sponsored by the Oklahoma Department of Libraries, visit their web site at www.odl.state.ok.us

J U N E 2008
The month of May ended with
visits from the 1st and 2nd grade classes from Fairview
Elementary Schools. Despite
a few glitches, such as storms, and no electricity for a few days, the library has managed to stay busy. Reading
material continued to be in high demand due to patrons not having access to TV and Internet. Another increase during
this time was the use of audio books that could be played with battery operated CD players and cassette players. Friday, June 6 was to have been the first day for Summer Reading Program with
Magician Steve Crawford entertaining the kids. The program was cancelled due to storms causing a power failure.
We will reschedule his appearance for later this summer. On Friday, June 13, Mary Ann Kelsey from Ag in the Classroom
stationed of OKC was the guest speaker. 56 kids and 14 adults learned about bugs, played games, and made bug catchers.
Heather Bryant is working at the Library during the month of June through a summer youth program.
She has been busy cleaning books and straightening shelves.
This month ends the fiscal year
for the Library. Ed Scott has been asked to serve on the Library Board to fill in the position vacated by Randy Souter.
He accepted, and will be appointed at the next City Council Meeting. My thanks and appreciation to Randy Souter for
his contribution for five years of service to the Library and community as a Board Member. Ernestine Titus, Fairview Public
Library Director

Kids and Moms: This summer you'll want to Catch the Bug!
Our 2008 Summer Reading
Program starts in June, every Friday at 10 am.
Please RSVP by May 30th. See you there!
Ventriloquist Don Hall, known by his fans as Cowboy Don, is currently
touring libraries across the state, providing a comic ventriloquism act with magic and songs, titled “On the Farm with
Cowboy Don and Jason.” Using lots of audience participation, Don and his puppet friends explore life
on the farm with some unusual twists. Jason, the farm boy, will sing and turn a bug into a book.
There is a worm who likes to read and a book who likes to talk.
Cowboy Don’s shows are packed with plenty of comedy, fun, and audience participation. His
45 minute program is entertaining for all ages, but he also encourages children and adults to enjoy reading and visiting their
local library.
The program is in conjunction with
the Summer Reading Program “Catch the Reading Bug” that is held statewide every year in
Oklahoma Libraries. Showtime is at 11:00 a.m. Friday, June 27 for children of all ages
at the Fairview City Library. The program is open to the public. For more information contact the Library at 580-227-2190. The program is being sponsored
by the Fairview Friends of the Library.
Magic-Show at the Fairview City Library Things could get a little buggy at the Fairview
City Library when Magician Steve Crawford brings his comedy-filled magic show the “Magic of Bugs” to town. Crawford’s
program is one of the activities planned at the Library in conjunction with this year’s Children’s Summer Reading
Program “Catch the Reading Bug”. Children who have finished the 1st grade (or equivalent of) through
the 6th grade are invited to join in the fun. Due to power outages, this event will be rescheduled to
a later date. This comedy-filled magic show is also educational.
We will learn about various types of insects and spiders. As Mr. Crawford educates and entertains
us, bizarre things start happening. During Mr. Crawford’s performance, we will see a spider repeatedly
jump out of a picture at the magician’s command. As he catches lightning bugs from out of the air,
he will teach us how and why the bugs light up. A running gag keeps interrupting the show as the magician
chases a noisy fly that “bugs” him. In the end, Crawford will explain how flies can get away
so fast. Steve Crawford’s
magic-show “Magic of Bugs” is to be rescheduled for a later date. Details of location, time, and date
will be posted. The entire Children’s
Summer Reading Program is free and open to the public. This program is part of a state-wide reading initiative developed by
the Oklahoma Department of Libraries with funding from Institute of Museum and Library Services and offered with the support
of Sonic Inc., America’s Drive In. Fairview Friends of the Library will be sponsoring Crawford’s Magic
Show. For more information about any of the Summer Reading Program activities for children, contact the Fairview City Library (227-2190).
