Media Drive Extended Through April – Win an iPad Mini!
by Jenny Chissus

It all started during one conversation with Tracie about library funding. What funds our Seldovia Public Library has, through grants and fundraising, and how that money is spent. An important thing I learned in the conversation, was that there are many folks who check out the DVDs and audiobooks, but that the inventory was very limited. According to Tracie, the funds available for buying new materials often do not allow for media materials. So, I wanted to help, and offered to donate a brand new iPad Mini for a media drive!
Many of us have movies we have only watched once or twice, music CDs or audio books that we no longer listen to, and they are collecting dust and using up space in our shelves, and we’d like to share with others! This is your chance! The library has also opened up the media drive to video games! This, I believe is a real bonus! First of all, video games aren’t cheap, and secondly, you never know if you are going to enjoy a game until it is played! And secondly – it brings young people into the library! In Seldovia we don’t have a video/game rental store, so this makes perfect sense that we can offer these items to the community through our public library!
Please take a few moments to dig into your collection, and see what you would like to offer the library in exchange for a ticket for a chance to win the iPad Mini, and a guarantee of supporting the library and adding value to the community options for entertainment and learning!
Also – as you read Tracie’s great commentary on the status of the library, please note that your participation in this media drive is a huge help to our inventory and the appeal of the library so THANK YOU! Also, there are many things going on at our small library that benefit our whole community, and should you be interested in offering cash donations to our library – that is always welcome!
I also shot a few questions to Tracie, to give you a little more background! So here we go!
