Working Together on Seldovia’s Calendar
by Jenny Chissus
Thankful for SVT and Laurel Hilts today.
With the sponsorship of SVT, Laurel has been working hard to maintain the SeldoviaCalendar.com site with all the local events and activities for our community! I was very thankful to have someone take over on this big task of coordinating all the various schedules into one GREAT calendar, from the city (Council, Parks & Rec and P&Z) meetings, SOCC activities, chamber events and meetings, SVT activities, Susan B English events, Library programs, Arts Council concerts, etc! It is a BIG job!
What you see on Seldovia.com and all the Gazette pages, is an embedded file – which uploads all the information from the SeldoviaCalendar.com site onto the pages of Seldovia.com! So, if you submit an event to Laurel – it will go in that calendar and automatically populate your information onto Seldovia.com! It is a great partnership!
Please continue to send fliers (jpg and pdf docs) and information my way so that I can post it in the Gazette at: Jenny@Seldovia.com – and copy Laurel at: lhilts
It is truly AMAZING how many things are going on in our little community!
Spring is in the Air, and Flowers aren’t the only things Growing!
by Tracie Merrill
The Seldovia Public Library board is very pleased to announce that the library is expanding into the courtroom space downstairs in the library/multipurpose building.
The downstairs space will house our Alaska collection of adult books, a new computer (or two) received from an Online With Libraries (OWL) grant, as well as our video-teleconference equipment.
Within the coming year, we hope to renovate and furnish this room with new flooring, window treatments, paint, furniture, and improvements to the bookcases. In the meantime, please pardon this room’s appearance as we undergo our “growing pains.”
This Saturday (the 13th), library staff will be moving our Alaska collection downstairs. If you would like to help, please come to the library at 4:00 pm. The public’s help is always welcomed. Library staff will be showing up a little earlier than this, and board members even earlier, to undergo some training that day.
After an hour of hard work, come sit back, relax, and join us for movie night at 6:15 pm as we watch Rise of the Guardians. Hope to see you there!
