PCPL is partnering with Speech/Language Therapy Services of Northern Kentucky to bring you “Sensory Friendly Story Time”.  Come and join Ms. Kerensa at our new story time that is designed to provide opportunities for children with special needs.  It allows for children with special needs to participate at their level, with attending to a story (either sitting, standing, etc.), and expressing their own creativity with adaptive crafts.  Come and join us on the first and third Tuesday of the month, beginning April 16^th, from 11:00 – 11:45 am.  We look forward to seeing you.

Help for Stuttering is as Close as Your Library

Thanks to generous donors, the Stuttering Foundation has donated books and DVDs to libraries across the country, including the Pendleton County Public Library.

Stuttering Foundation books are directed to parents of children who stutter, adults who stutter, speech pathologists, pediatricians, family physicians, nurses, health care professionals, hospitals, schools, clinics, day-care centers, and all those concerned with the problem of stuttering.  The DVDs feature some of the world’s leading therapists
with children who stutter.  Since the original publication, Foundation materials have reached millions of individuals worldwide.

More than three million Americans stutter, yet stuttering remains misunderstood by most people,” said Jane Fraser, president of The Stuttering Foundation. “Myths such as believing people who stutter are less intelligent or suffer from psychological problems still persist despite research refuting these erroneous beliefs.”

Sixteen books and DVDs produced by the 71-year-old nonprofit Stuttering Foundation are available free to any public library. The Foundation has provided free materials to over 20,000 public libraries nationwide.

If you are needing some assistance with your genealogy research, why not schedule and hour with Fran. She can help with all your research needs like: showing you how to get started, making suggestions for finding records, breaking through brick walls, or refer you to someone that can do research for you and give you heredity society contacts, if you are interested.

Did you know that your library offers notary services free of charge? Please call to confirm availability of notary. The notary is authorized to administer oaths and acknowledgements of documents. “An acknowledgement is a verification that the person whose signature appears on the document is the person who appears before you and whose identity you took reasonable steps to verify.” In other words, we are pretty much just verifying that the person is who they say they are and then witnessing them sign a document. No legal advice or preparation and no notarizing of
anything other than a signature on a legal document. Please bring a current correct ID with you for identity verification.  The ID should
include the following: A photo of the bearer, accurate physical description, and Signature of the bearer. For example:  a driver’s license,
official state-issued ID card, military ID, passport, etc. And it MUST BE current. No expired identification will be accepted.
