Programs
• In celebration of Mexican Independence Day, we offered an evening mariachi performance and a display of Hispanic heritage books. Gladly, our Mexican Independence Day mariachi event was on the cover of the La Puente Highlander! Check it out: sgvtribune.com/highlanders/lapuente/ci_13453708. Resources that published the announcement include Get Pasadena Events, Eventful.com, the County of Los Angeles Public Library Web site/Twitter, San Gabriel Valley Tribune (http://www.sgvtribune.com/highlanders/lapuente/ci_13307973), and experienceLA.com (http://www.experiencela.com/calendar/eventmore.asp?key=25166).
• The La Puente Library offered 5 Teen Tuesday gaming events this month, attracting 53 young adult patrons.
• About 170 persons enjoyed 4 family gaming programs and 4 family movies.
• We provided 5 family story times with art activities, and 4 toddler story times with art activities, engaging 155 persons.
Team-Building Saturdays
We emphasized team-building this month. Employees of the La Puente Library were encouraged to participate in team-building activities on Saturdays in September. The first Saturday, team members worked together to clean the two refrigerators. We also celebrated two birthdays with cake and song. Another fun team-building activity: a cosmetology student provided makeovers on her lunch break to staffers who eagerly spent their break time getting beautified.
Teen Volunteers
The La Puente Library virtual volunteers read and reviewed books for the library myspace site. In-house volunteers prepped for the mariachi event, attended young adult gaming programs, made signs, assisted children in creating art activities for story time, and more!
