It’s
coming again — the annual library book sale
The Lincoln Public Library
District is gearing up their big annual sale of books. The sale on
Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 24 and 25, coincides with the annual Art and
Balloon Festival. It draws hundreds of book lovers who pore over
thousands of volumes, searching for great finds to quench their literary
thirst.
The preparations and sales are conducted
largely by volunteers who arrange the books on the tables prior to the
sale and help out during the sale. With only a week remaining and much
work still in need of doing, library director Richard Sumrall says, "We
appreciate any volunteer help; if anyone is interested in volunteering,
they can contact me at the library." Call (217) 732-8878 and ask for
him.
Saddle Up volunteers
needed
Volunteers and riders are
needed for United Cerebral Palsy’s therapeutic horseback riding program
for children with special needs. The Saddle Up! program at Cobblestone
Farm in Springfield gives medically fragile kids the opportunity to grow
and develop through fun therapy with horses. The sessions this fall are
open to any child age 5 to 18 with disability living in the UCP
11-county service area.
The program offers
volunteers a variety of positions, from working with riders to
administrative duties. No experience with horses is necessary.
Volunteers must be at least 14 years old or accompanied by a parent.
The horseback program
benefits children with disabilities by strengthening muscles and
improving posture, coordination and joint mobility. The activities also
help children to develop self-esteem, build self-confidence, and improve
their concentration and self-discipline.
A six-week session begins
Aug. 26, and a second series will start Oct. 2. Sessions are every
Monday and Wednesday.
For more information about the program or to
volunteer, contact UCP Land of Lincoln, (217) 525-6522.
Local
historical society wants names of veterans
 The Logan County
Genealogical and Historical Society will have its August meeting on the
19th at 6:30 p.m. at 114 N. Chicago St.
In the program on "The
Egg and I," Helen Haseley will show and tell about her egg collection.
She uses eggs produced by her ducks, geese, turkeys, chickens and
peacocks. Ostrich eggs — the largest, rhea and emu — the smallest — will
also be in her display.
Jean Cypher and Dorothy
Gleason will be co-hostesses for the meeting.
Wanted: Information on local veterans
The Logan County
Genealogical and Historical Society is currently collecting names of
local veterans. The group would like to have the names and any history
of all those from Logan County who registered for service in any and all
branches of the U.S. armed forces.
People are asked to bring or send in the
information to 114 N. Chicago St., Lincoln. The mail deadline for
submitting names is Dec. 31. The society will be publishing a booklet in
2003 with the material gathered.

Help
someone learn to read
