 Pioneer Library System and Moore Public Library is proud to welcome a new Business Outreach Coordinator, Jayme Shelton, joining the library staff and team. Shelton has certainly hit the ground running since he began his official duties in April 2010. Through his efforts, a new Business Resource Center housed inside Moore Public Library, is slated to be open to the public in October. “The purpose of the new center is to gain a centralized location to accommodate the needs of the business community, to assist new business owners, and to introduce the public with information and resources for new business start-ups,” says Jayme Shelton. “The library’s business collection is growing with books, book discussion kits, training kits, databases, and audio materials. Local businesses are always invited to use the library’s meeting rooms, computers, technology equipment, and sign-up employees for computer training sessions.”
One of the main resources already flying off the library’s shelf are Business Training Kits; each kit is complete with a wide range of tools for an organization’s training needs. The kits were created to assist small business owners and non-profit organizations with resources to conduct successful employee trainings. Each kit contains a facilitator’s guide, workbooks for participants, audio and visual aids, DVD’s and CD’s, and an agenda that can be adapted to fit each business’s unique training needs. A variety of topics are available and include interpersonal relations and communication in the workplace, supervisory and leadership skills, teamwork, creativity, ethics, and customer service.

The book looks at the life and times of Carolee’s grandfather Charles Watson McGilberry, a Choctaw Oklahoman who was part of an “experiment” to see if young Indians could function in white society.
The Maxwells will be at the Moore Public Library at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 21, as part of the library's Adult Summer Reading Program.

 Water is one of the things that we all use and need. Exploring the world of water, the life cycle of a water droplet, and the paths that water can take is what The Incredible Journey of Water is all about. The floodgates will open on Thursday July 22 at 10:00 a.m. the Moore Public Library 225 South Howard in Moore.
Presenter Karla Beatty takes children through a simulated game conceptualizing the cycle of water, sometimes flowing from clouds, to streams, to their very own faucets. Children role play water droplets and make water-cycle bracelets during a fun and educational program. Beatty’s interactional activities help children understand that the water they drink every day makes an extraordinary journey before it reaches their drinking glasses, or takes the form of rain, or flows into the ocean.
For kids ages 5 thru 12, invited to take the plunge and join Karla Beatty for The Incredible Journey of Water. For more information, visit the Children’s Services Desk inside the library or call 793-4347. This program is sponsored by Friends of the Moore Public Library.
