recognized in an Awards Ceremony held in the City Hall Chambers, April 30 at 7:00pm.
KATIE BOYLE, a 1999 Poquoson High School graduate will be the keynote speaker.
Ms. Boyle was awarded a Bachelor’s and Mater’s Degree from the University of Virginia
in English. She currently is Deputy Legislative Director, Fairfax County and is anxious to
come “home” to meet the winners of the Essay Contest and talk with them about what
reading can do.
The Public is invited to attend the awards ceremony and hear what wonderful essays our
the students have written.
Books A La Carte
Attention all Book Lovers and
Bargain Hunters:
The Elizabeth Tai Scholarship for 2015,
sponsored by the Friends of the Library,
is open to all Poquoson High School
Seniors who have volunteered with ANY
public Library or ANY Friends Group.
The Scholarship is in the amount of $1,000.
Applications and information are available at
Poquoson High School Guidance Office and at the
Poquoson Public Library Circulation Desk. All
applications must be complete and received by the
deadline of APRIL 24, 2015.
Don’t miss the Books A La Carte Area. We
have books on carts and on the wall units.
There are also DVD’s and Books on Disc.
Just check our site at the back of the
Library near the copy machine.
Gift Certificates to Books A La Carte make
a perfect way to say thank you to book
lovers of all ages. Get them at the
circulation desk.
All purchases from Books A La Carte go to
supplement the Library’s budget in
acquiring special equipment and programs.
Did you know???
...That you can make a donation to the Friends of the Poquoson Library in memory of a
friend or relative. Similarly, you can also make a donation in honor of someone who has
done a special favor, completed a milestone or is having a special event. What a unique
and special way to remember someone’s life or special achievements. Please think of the
FRIENDS when you are deciding how to commemorate those who mean something special
to you.
The Friends of the Poquoson Public Library have joined with Amazon’s newest
program...AmazonSmile. Through this program, Amazon donates 0.5% of the
price of your eligible purchases to the Friends of the Poquoson Library whenever
you shop on AmazonSmile with your linked Amazon account. If you don’t have
an Amazon Account, don’t worry. You can open one when you sign on.
It is very easy to link your Amazon.com account to the AmazonSmile Program.
Just click on this link http://smile.amazon.com/ch/52-1245176 and follow the
instructions (or go to the Friends page on the library website and click on the
“get started” button in the Shop at AmazonSmile Banner). When you get to the
part where it asks you which charity, type in Friends of the Poquoson Publick
Library (and no...that’s not a typo. They are using the old spelling of public
which makes us even more unique that we already are!). Once you click “search”
it will pull up our account and then you click and select and you are linked.
Every time you make a purchase on Amazon.com on eligible products you will be
supporting the library. There are millions of items that are eligible and their
eligibility will be listed on their product detail page. You can rest easy. The only
thing Amazon gives us is the donation...never any personal details on your
purchases. So don’t wait. Get started supporting your favorite little Library
while doing your online shopping.
