Board and Staff of the Resource Centre would like to thank Caroline Elder
for her dedication and hard work over the 7 months that she work with us.
Caroline joined us on the interim basis in October to help us maintained the
level of services that this community has become accustomed to from the Resource
Centre. Without Caroline’s dedication and hard work we would not have
seen the success and growth the Resource Centre experienced during her time
here. We all wish Caroline the best in her new profession and are looking
forward to working with her in the near future. Thanks again Caroline...we

The North Kawartha Public Library
has a new logo! By Caroline Elder
In March, the Resource Centre, on behalf of the North
Kawartha Public Library launched a logo design contest. Offering three
prize levels for children in our community, junior kindergarten to grade
eight. The goal of a new logo is to help promote that the N.K.P.L.
has become “friendly, high-tech”. Patrons can now reserve books on-line,
read web-based books, and now book sharing with other libraries will be easier.
All thanks to a program called “Mandarin Library Automation.” The response
was overwhelming with 25 entries…we have a lot of budding artists in our
community! We assembled a judging panel of five, and based the judging
criteria on three guidelines… most reflective of the library’s new image,
most creative, and the best reproduction quality. Even with the guidelines,
it was tough to choose just three. In fact, we were only able to narrow it
down to four, and thus added an extra prize.
The winners are… Caitlyn Evans, grade 5, winning
1st place and $100.00 cash, John Trotter, age 11, winning 2nd place and $50.00
cash, Kali Tucker winning 3rd place and $25.00 cash, and honourable mention
to Kylie Trotter, age 12, winning a $20.00 certificate to Happenstance Books,
in Lakefield.
Be sure to visit www.NorthKawarthaLibrary.com
to see all of the entries submitted, and shortly you will see Caitlyn’s
design on your new library cards, the website and the new library sign.
Congratulations to all of our winners, and special thanks to the judges
and all of those who participated. Everyone did a great job!
