Lynette Seeber has been the public librarian in the small community of Briceville since February 1996. Within that short time, she has witnessed many wonderful changes at the library: new computers, internet installation, new doorway, flooring and shelving; along with young adults graduating, families moving into the area, and adults using a computer for the first time. But, she has been made aware that some things stay the same. Not just necessary improvements, but trying to stay current, and simply maintaining what is at the library require continued donations of time and money.
School has started and the library is alive with after school activity. The computers offer students the opportunity to research and prepare presentations for homework. Adults find current information, and a collection of genealogy materials. The library offers a fax for sending and receiving. Lynette is a Notary. The library offers a large variety of reading material. The key word is quality not quantity. The shelves are bursting at the seams with wonderful books, but there is always a need for newer published materials.
The Briceville Public Library is a single room located inside the Friendship Center. The room is 20 X 22 feet, has no closets and is usually very crowded.
Lynette found a free website and has filled it with local items, links, and a page with a wish list of needed items. Any office supplies are always appreciated, not only for the library needs, but the library tries to provide notebooks, pencils, pens, and school project materials for students of all ages.
If you have activities that you sponsor each year, please consider adding a library to your list. Being outside the city, Briceville Public Library would appreciate any support you may offer.
