Greetings!
Welcome to 2010: a brand new year. Hope that this new year is filled with new experiences for you.
I am excited about our focus on User Experience. It's fun to think about creating a Pulse Point, reaching teens via SMS, and making the Teen User Experience a priority.
Please keep in touch. I'd love to hear what's happening in your library!

For the Love of Kids & Books
The Hospital Outreach Visit Program serves children on the Pediatric and Pediatric Psychology floors of Stony Brook University Hospital, as well as Pediatric Cancer Clinic patients. Dedicated Suffolk County public librarians have been making visits to these young people for over twenty years. As a part of each visit, the librarians offer each patient a brand new book and an oversized envelope filled with games and activities. All books and materials for these visits are provided by donations.
On a recent visit, one librarian listed on her response form that children and teens would like to receive copies of graphic novels. SCLS had just received a generous gift to purchase Hospital Outreach materials and holiday season seemed like the perfect opportunity to provide graphic novels for these young patients.
Thanks to the warm hearts of local businesses and Diamond Book Distributors, this dream became a reality. Two boxes of assorted graphic novels arrived with the giant snow storm. Now Suffolk patients have a special treat: graphic novels! We offer a sincere thanks to the wonderful Suffolk County librarians who make these visits and our gracious benefactors.
