End Year Report

By Aglaia Polisson

Happy New Year from the C Library!

We have accomplished lot of things in the last year. Here are just a few noteworthy items:

We are constantly adding to our collection. The library has a wide array of Orthodox Christian media for all ages including books, DVD's, CD's, children's and young adult readers, game kits, magazines and reference material. We also have Greek language books.
Our library contains more than 3,600 items available to evey member of the Church.

Our library is expanding. We added four new bookcases to make room for our book collection.

With the help of approved funding we will be upgrading our software/internet database access.

We continue with all our programs: Story Time, children's Christmas raffle, speaker programs (in March, Anastasia Panagiotopoulou from the Archeological Institute-Greece), and the most inspirational Orthodox Book Discussion Group. This year we added a new program: Computer training. It was received with great enthusiasm.

Of course what would an online presence be on this day without our very own blog! It is our hope that HOCALibrary.blogspot.com will provide a mechanism through which folks can receive updates about the library, inspirational Orthodox Christian book reviews, Book Discussion Group information as well as other events.

Looking forward to 2011 we will continue our growing collection and offering new resources to meet your needs. Hope to be seeing you in the New Year.

Many thanks to our story time readers and our dedicated library staff.
