Jennifer Logsdon
HOOD COUNTY LIBRARY
Hood County Library Director Jennifer Logsdon is a former public school educator of 23 years, earning a master’s degree in Library Science during that time. She enjoys spending time with her blended family of five children, baking and of course reading.
Sing it with me! “The wheels on the bus go round and round….”
This tune keeps recurring in my head as the library awaits the arrival of the bookmobile. There are 3,000 items waiting to be loaded. Routes are planned. Commissioners have blessed our policies and procedures.
Excitement is building! And the celebration has been set!
Mark your calendars for April 29! The library will be hosting a Local Services Fair from 2-4 p.m. that Saturday. This event will not only highlight the new library mobile services vehicle, but also will feature all local services available to Hood County residents. We welcome you to come out and walk through the Library on Wheels, then peruse the stations to play a game while gaining insight on all that is offered in Hood County.
While you're there, meet Robyn Scanlon, our Mobile Services and Outreach Coordinator. She can answer questions you may have and share some things she has planned. The Library on Wheels will be making stops around the county like in Lipan, Tolar, and Cresson. It will also be bringing lobby stops to retirement communities. This summer, it will take our summer reading program to families that cannot easily make it to the library in town. The Library on Wheels will also be available for special events and programs by request.
The expected delivery of the Library on Wheels is tentatively set for April 10. We are crossing our fingers for no delays. We hope that routes will begin the first week of May.
Sing it with me!! “The people on the bus will read, read, read….and
the library on wheels will deliver all through the town!!”
