| CENSUS 2010
The Census - It's That Time Again!
BE COUNTED!
The 2010 Census is rapidly approaching. The United States Constitution calls for the federal government to conduct a census every ten years. The data collected will determine the number of seats each state will have in the U. S. House of Representatives. Census data is also used to mine the allocation of federal funds for community services including school lunch programs, senior centers, and new construction projects. Every year, the federal government distributes more than $400 billion to local, state and tribal governments based on the census data.

Jacob Edwards Library Celebrates
A NEW YEAR and A NEW DECADE!
Greetings!
A new year and a new decade has dawned bringing all kinds of hope and promise. The staff of the Jacob Edwards Library is here to help you and we hope you will include the library in one of your stops when you are down town. 2009 was a busy year - Wii games were added to the collection that are available to borrow, new programs series such as the drumming circle and now the Anime Club have been added to the portfolio, and we hope to offer patrons a wide ranging library experience...the library is much more than just a place to get a book!
We wish all our patrons a very Happy New Year! |

 The Library Box Office Presents: BEN X
The Friends of the Jacob Edwards Library present Ben X which will begin at 6:00 p.m. in the Pioppi Room, lower level. Candy will be available for purchase.
Synopsis:
"Ben is different. His life is a universe all to itself, where he avidly plays his favorite on-line computer game in an attempt to train for and block out the reality of his daily experiences. Ben has Asperger's Syndrome, a mild form of autism that prevents normal communication and makes him ideal fodder for all the school bullies. As the bullies' relentless attacks push him over the edge and out of control, his on-line dream girl, Scarlite, appears to him and helps him devise a perfect plan to confront the bullies and make them pay for their torment. Director Nic Balthazar's dazzling debut blends fantasy and harsh social realism, based on a true story, to bring us an utterly original and important film." | |
