September is Library Card Sign-Up Month

There is no better bargain than a library card, and September is library card sign-up month!

Your library card gives you free access to books, computers, Wi-Fi, DVD’s, Playaways, books on CD, tax forms, current magazines and much more. In fact your library card is probably the best deal in town. You can access your account, the library catalog, many of our research sites, the event guide listing programs for all ages, and all types of information from home. You can request materials be sent to Collinsville library for pick-up, pay your fines, and recheck your materials via computer. We can help you find that next book in a series, authors who write like your favorite author, materials for school projects and papers, find that favorite movie and check it out for a week…free, offer you a volunteer opportunity to help at your library and so much more. Once you enter the Collinsville Library a friendly voice will greet you and make sure you find everything you want from your library. This is your library. We are here to keep it up to date, organized, and to be helpful to our customers.

The CV Library offers many programs for every age: one- on- one computer basics, story times for several age groups, a book club for adults, teen programs, and quilting and knitting groups.
The Friends of Collinsville Library is a very active support group for the library and always eager to welcome new members. Our meeting room is free of charge to non-profit groups. Book early as we stay full most of the year.

If you have a library card for any of the Tulsa City-County Libraries you are already a member of the Collinsville Library. All the services of TCCL are at your fingertips. Come in to the CV Library and let us update your card. Your library card will become your Smart Card!

To apply for a library card bring in a photo ID, proof of your Tulsa County address, and complete an application. It is that easy.

Sonic has provided a coupon for a free medium cherry limeade for each person who updates or registers for a library card at the Collinsville Library.

Patchwork Quilters September Meeting

A full house of Collinsville Patchworkers met the evening of Sept. 14, 2010, and welcomed home a favorite member - Ann Cooper from Tennessee. In Collinsville for a family visit, Ann shared her stack of beautiful quilts with other members, and in return, local members also displayed their handiwork . Marie Gillespie presented an update on the VFW quilt (currently displayed at Bank of the Lakes), and noted that a winning ticket will be drawn during the Sept. 30 Taste of Collinsville festivities. Proceeds from the quilt will be directed to the VFW Roof Fund. Janice Coke gave a program on decorative threads, plus ideas for quilt storage. The evening ended with cookies and punch, as members gathered around Ann to catch up on the news before she headed back to Tennessee.

Previous Coverage

Nationally Known Health Speaker At City Hall Sept 29th -- Mark Fenton

The City of Collinsville in partnership with Cherokee Nation will be hosting Mark Fenton on September 29th from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in the Collinsville Commission Chambers. Mark Fenton is an independent public health, planning, and transportation consultant with an engineering background, as well as an author, contributing editor for Health magazine, and former PBS television host. Mark Fenton was the host of the PBS television series “America’s Walking,” a consultant to the University of North Carolina’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center, and an instructor in the walkable community workshop series of the Washington DC-based National Center for Bicycling and Walking. He’s a contributing editor to Health magazine and has written numerous books, including “The Complete Guide to Walking for Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness” (Lyons Press, 2008) and “Predometer Walking” (Lyons Press, 2006). He is an entertaining, persuasive, and knowledgeable walking advocate, and one of the nation’s foremost experts on its favorite exercise. The former editor-at-large of Walking Magazine is also a champion walker: From 1986 to 1990 Mark was a member of the US national race walking team five times, he represented the US in several international competitions, and he coached the US team at the 1995 World Championships in Beijing. In addition, while training for the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Trials in the 50-kilometer (31-mile) race-walk he studied biomechanics and exercise physiology at the Olympic Training Center Sports Science Laboratory in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Mr. Fenton will discuss one of our greatest current public health concerns—the rise of sedentary lifestyles and their associated afflictions—to another topic of great current interest: the creation of more livable communities. The breadth of the topic is amazing, and can include: current health and fitness recommendations; the benefits of a healthier work force; cost-effective, long-term activity promotion; modern development; suburban sprawl; the call for more sustainable communities; the need for responsible environmental stewardship and preservation of open space; the development of trails and greenways. The forum is open to the public and we encourage everyone to attend.
