Summer Vacation
Hi Everybody! It's me, MEL, your favorite Bookmobile, and I've got news: I have been on the road regularly since 2006, and I've been told I need to take a vacation. I personally don't think I need a vacation, but everyone is saying I have to go to the RV clinic to have a complete physical, for one thing. And, just like I'm not a "road hog", I also don't want to "hog" all of the attention that my other library friends SO deserve. So.......
Henderson Libraries has opened two new libraries, as you probably already know: the Galleria Library in the Galleria at Sunset Mall and the Green Valley Library!
And guess what? Give up? Okay, I'll tell you: you can still see the Outreach Team, even while I'm on vacation! They all work at the Galleria!! Isn't that the coolest?
Go see them soon, and tell them I sent you :D
New Friend With Us Today!
Hi again! It's your favorite bookmobile, MEL, coming to you from Mission Hills Park! It's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, the police are training...just like always here.
Ms. Tamra and Ms. Kathy and I are happy to have a guest rider with us today, Mr. Juan Renteria! He is one of our newest Henderson Library employees, and guess what??? He used to work on....you're not going to believe this.....but maybe you will......he used to work on a Bookmobile like me!!! In California!!! Can you believe it? He likes to read AND he likes to write, too! I like to write, but I like it when other people read to me...but enough about me, and back to our new friend! His favorite color is "Charger Blue". I haven't been to California...it must be a California color or something. Anyone know? I'm too embarrassed to ask...
But for now, he is one of the many new faces that have joined the Green Valley Library staff. You will find him in the Adult Services area of the newly remodeled, beautiful Green Valley Library!
When you see him, ask him about his library tattoo! It's cool! You've seen all my tattoos: I have a lot of them, such as, "mypubliclibrary.com" and "Bookmobile Does Not Carry Cash", and "READ".
I am always happy to show off to anyone, anytime. I'm so proud of all the parents and children that come to see me, my magic steps, and check out good books!
Digital Bookmobile
Hi everyone!
I just want to let everyone know what is happening.
My friends in Outreach and I have stopped going to the Green Valley Library. Green Valley is open temporary hours for now. To find out their temporary hours, click on Green Valley.
My friends in Outreach are now spending a lot of time over at the Galleria Mall and yes, they are doing more than shopping. Henderson Libraries opened a branch in the mall. A lot of people are happy that a library is in the mall! If you want to know the hours there, click HERE. They have some programs at the Galleria Mall as well, so make sure you stop by the events calender to find out what is happening.
As for me, I am stopping at my usual stops again. If you have forgotten where the stops are, my link is here. My next 2 stops coming up will be at Anthem Hills Park on Monday the 16th and at Black Mountain Recreation Center on Tuesday the 17th. I hope I see you there. Don't forget to wear GREEN on the 17th!
GUESS WHAT?!?
My cousin is visiting from out of town. Her name is Digital Bookmobile, but I call her Digi. Digi will be at the Galleria Mall with all of my friends on Thurday, April 2, 2009 from 10 am to 5 pm. Digi and her friends will show you all the things that you need to know about downloadable books, audiobooks, and much more. Did you know you can download a book or audiobook to your computer? If compatible, you can even put it on your MP3 player. That is so awesome! They will be here rain or shine, so stop on by because you will never know what you may learn and find! Digi is really cool and I hope you get to meet her!
I need to get back outside, I am enjoying the nice weather we are having! I hope you are too. Until next time, see you later.
I Clean Up Nice!
I'm so excited! I wanted to show you my picture--it's on the Internet, right here on the Green Valley Library Blog!
I've recently been bathed by Mr. Scott (he drives DAV, the Courier Van) and Ms. Tamra (she's on the Outreach Team). Don't I look handsome?
Hi! MEL, your favorite Bookmobile here! How about this great weather? I'm getting Spring Fever!
I had a great day today at the Black Mountain Rec Center stop--the Outreach Team met some new people, and everyone had lots of fun! There was a little boy outside with his mother, and he was crying and crying and crying. It sounded so sad... his mother brought him and his little brother in to get some books and to visit us, and guess what??? He stopped crying! I was glad I could help to make someone happy again!
I'll bet you would get happier, too, if you came to see us!
Shotgun Barb Rides Again!
The lovely Barb, from the ABS Department, has been kind enough to agree to ride along with me these next few Mondays. We are a bit short-staffed, and we're so thankful to Michelle, Head of ABS for letting us 'borrow' Barb!
Come visit Barb, MEL, and me at Silver Springs today from 2 pm - 4 pm.
PS: Stephenie Meyer's
the host
is now IN!
Fun at Green Valley Library!
Wow! I had such a good day today! First of all, I got to go to the Green Valley Library for the second time this week. Those new (at least new to me!) Green Valley Library customers are so cool! They were so happy to meet us, and they were so impressed at all of the great stuff I carry. One guy was amazed at actually being able to find two Stephenie Meyer books right there on the shelf! He got his new Henderson Library Card and checked both books out immediately!

Find out when I will be at the Green Valley Library
And next, I had someone new driving me today: Stephen Platt, the new Manager of the Green Valley Library! It was fun - he's a good, safe driver (I love good, safe drivers!).
So, please come see us next time you get the chance. You'll meet some of the nice Green Valley Library Staff, as well as Outreach Team Members. You'll love it!
