A new look, an exciting schedule of events, and gifts for visitors will make Tipp City Public Library’s celebration of National Library Week, April 13 – 19, a great event for everyone.
The library has a new logo and tag line, and it will be featured prominently throughout the week when visitors are given pens, notepads, book bags, and other gifts.
“We’re excited about the new look, and we want to share it with the public. Also, we’ve seen impressive increases in circulation of our materials during the past year, so we thought this would be a good way to say thanks to our patrons,” Janet Shoup, Library Public Relations Representative, said.
The new logo is highlighted at the library’s revamped website, also due for release during National Library Week. With the update, website users will find video of library programs, links organized by age groups, and easier access to helpful databases. Also, anyone interested in learning about the library’s policies on fines, internet use, collection development, and other issues can find that information simply and quickly from any webpage within the website.

“If you have used our website as a jumping off place after checking your library account in the past, give it another look,” Mrs. Shoup said. “It’s bigger and better, and we are focused on adding every way we can think of to make it indispensable for our patrons.
