Dolton library highlights weekly programs and announces Black History Month events
Summary
Priscilla J. Harris, reference clerk at the Dolton Public Library, urged residents to visit the library and outlined weekly programs, social‑media outreach and two Black History Month events, noting one event date in the remarks appeared ambiguous and advising patrons to check the library calendar.
Priscilla J. Harris, reference clerk at the Dolton Public Library, urged residents at a community meeting to visit the library and outlined a slate of regular programs and upcoming Black History Month events.
Harris said the library offers weekly programs for seniors and toddlers, including line dancing and chair exercises, and holds a game night every second Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. She encouraged residents to follow the library on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram to see productions and program announcements.
Harris announced a Black History–inspired arts-and-crafts session for children and said, in the same remarks, both 'on the 20 first' and 'It is February 21 at 12PM.' She also announced a Family Feud–style Black History competition, stating it would be held 'February 28 at 12PM.' Because the speaker used two date phrasings for the arts-and-crafts event, Harris directed listeners to the library calendar for the authoritative schedule.
The library’s online calendar is available at daltonpubliclibrary.org, Harris said. She also listed regular hours as Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and noted the library will be open on the upcoming holiday Monday to provide activities for children who are out of school.
Harris credited President Copeland and interim director Shirley James for supporting staff and said recent hires have brought new ideas to programming. She closed by stressing the importance of literacy, saying, 'People died for the reading, they died for just wanting to get education,' and urging the community to help bring others into learning opportunities.
Harris invited residents to visit the library for programs, events and resources and to consult the Dolton Public Library calendar for details and any date clarifications.
