Friday, August 3, 2012
From Upper Dublin Township Library: Later this year, the UDPL will be undergoing renovations to its 20-year old facility. Since the reason for the renovations is to modernize the Library by creating new community spaces for you, our patrons, dedicated to specific activities and audiences, we've named this project UDPL-ReNEWed!. Over the next few months, you'll be hearing much more about it, but I'd like to share a little about it with you right now. I'm excited to tell you about the improvements we have envisioned. Last year, what began as an idea for carving out a larger teen area became a full-blown redesign proposal that, I believe, has something for everyone. Among the changes you can expect to see: (1) a larger teen room to …

Upper Dublin Library named their Volunteer of the Year for 2012. This year, Dave Menaker was honored as Volunteer of the Year. "This year's recipient has been with us since 2008. A truly devoted worker, his nominators described him as "reliable," "conscientious," "meticulous," and "precise" - the highest of praise from librarians. He can be counted on to take on any task, whether it's keeping our shelves well-organized and tidy or playing detective and finding items on our shelves where the rest of us could not. For those who have the chance to work with him, he's no passive volunteer, but instead challenges us regularly, going so far as to even question some of our practices or decisions, but he has become truly a member of the Library …
