In addition, the computers have a full range of document preparation applications as well as extensive electronic reference software. A printer and scanner are also available to assist users in preparing documents. This reading program coincides with the public schedule beginning in September and ending in June. A library volunteer presents a story hour followed by an interactive project. Groups are small and non-competitive with individual attention to participants.
Emphasis is on learning group social skills and the love and enjoyment of reading.
Each summer the Greenback Public Library participates in a State sponsored summer reading program. Children compete within their age groups to see who can read the most books during June and July. Beginning and ending dates are posted in schools, libraries and local newspapers as well as on this Internet web page. At these sessions, there are special guests, prizes and treats. Library volunteers provide the staff for supervision and the program is funded by donations from the community and the surrounding area.
