Teen Display: Reading BINGO!

What better way to kick off the New Year than with READING? 

We all know how BINGO goes, but there's a twist. Read as many books as you can to get to BINGO and win a PIZZA party! We thought the incentive might go a long way with this passive program. The BINGO slips are available for teens to pick up and play. 

Happy Holidays from Collier

Merry Christmas 2014

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas from everyone here at Collier.

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!

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.
