Collier Regional Library presents : Build a Gingerbread House


This past Saturday we had a blast making gingerbread houses out of graham crackers. The adults enjoyed it as much as the children. Our Youth Librarian, Jayla Parks, did an impromptu story time for the crowd as well! Check out the pictures below!

Best of 2014: Collier Regional Library














NNMD Award: Best Booth at National Night Out

The Near Northwest Management District, who coordinates National Night Out in the area, awarded Collier Regional Library with the "Best Booth" award on Thursday, 12/4/14. Collier Staff requested Community Engagement to assist in setting up at National Night Out on 10/7/14. The newly wrapped HPL van was used and gained quite the attention from hundreds who visited the booth. Clementina Nunez, Community Engagement, provided info to customers and registered customers with library cards. Jayla Parks, COL Youth Librarian, provided craft activities to all youth. Manager, Marcos Martinez, was also present assisting with library card registration. The award was accepted by Community Engagement and Collier Regional Library staff. Thanks to Community Engagement's efforts to partner with Collier to deliver to the community in Collier's service area. The award sits proudly in Community Engagement's Office signifying their partnership with Collier.




 

Civic Eng. Project: Food Drive @ COL

Food Drive at COL was the Library's first civic engagement project/activity. The Book Drive box was repurposed with the help of COL's volunteer, Judith, who decorated the box to serve as the collection bin for non-perishables. A total of three full boxes of food was collected in the month of November.
