Welcome to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Children's Room!

Ms. Clara Webber was the first children's librarian of Pomona Public Library. A long time correspondent with Mrs. Laura Ingalls Wilder, she was instrumental in having the Children's Room named in honor of Mrs. Wilder on May 25, 1950. Today, we house the original hand written manuscript for the novel Little Town on the Prairie. Every February, we host the Laura Ingalls Wilder Sociable in honor of Mrs. Wilder's February 7th birthday.

Good News, Young Pomonans! Our Air Conditioner is Fixed!!!

You betcha, our air is back on! We haven't had cool air in here since June 28th. Those of you who came in to beat the heat left pretty much after you came in and we couldn't blame you. Now that the heat is back up you can come in, read and cool off.

We are sooooo happy!

Come in and see us soon.

Still No Air Conditioning at PPL

Hello young Pomonans! This is one of two huge fans that they have brought in to cool us down some. And I do mean some. It helps if you are standing right in front of it but if you are in the stacks it doesn't help much. They put one downstairs and one upstairs. Do you think they put one in the children's room? No they did not. :(

We are glad that it is cooler today and hope for a cool summer! Don't forget to be reading your hours because we have some great prizes!

Still No Air Conditioning at PPL

Good Monday, young Pomonans! Yes, it is still quite warm here at PPL. If you come in, please be sure to wear comfortable clothes as it is quite warm in here.

The Reading Buddies are going strong on Mondays and Tuesdays. Not many of you are sticking around much after that and I don't blame you. It may not be fixed for a while but believe me, I will post when it is cool again.

Remember this coming Wednesday is our comedian magician, Abbit the Average. It will be at 3:30pm outside under a shade tree. Remember to bring a blanket or something to sit on that will make you more comfortable.

Hang in there with us!!

Joke of the day: Why did the robber wear blue gloves?
Answer: Because he didn't want to be caught red handed! ;)

Air Conditioning Still Out at PPL

We all empathize with Roscoe the Pug dog. It looks like he is in a library too with no air conditioning. I notice people aren't staying as long and I don't blame them. If you want air conditioning, it looks like you'll have to go to the mall.

We will have our Bubble Mania program inside tomorrow but all others will be outside under the shade trees. Please bring a blanket or something to sit on so you will be more comfortable.

We will make it through this! The show will go on! Long live Pomona!!

Air Conditioning Still Out at PPL

Good Tuesday, young Pomonans! I'm sorry to have to tell you that our air conditioning is still out, so if you come to the library, wear something cool. It sounds like there is something seriously wrong with it so it may take a while to fix.

Joke of the day: What kind of dance do you do on a trampoline?
Answer: Hip Hop! ;)

Warning! No Air Conditioning at PPL

Hello young Pomonans!

As some of you felt yesterday, our air conditioning went out. It is still out today so if you're looking for somewhere to stay out of the heat, try the mall. But we are still here and we are doing our best to joke about it and so far it's working. (I hope that is still true around 4pm) ;)

Today is our last Thursday to be open so we are all appreciating that. It will be our last infant story time as well. We are combining the two story times (infant and toddler) for the summer and we will re-evaluate it in September.

Take care and stay cool!
