| Twinbrook: Back to Normal After Repairs |
Our Building.We'd like to thank you for your patience during this summer's repair and maintenance work. We were closed briefly during the first week of September to repair a sewage line that had caused several problems during the early summer. That issue has now been resolved by the Department of General Services, and the branch is back to normal. We also received a repaving of the County section of the parking lot, and earlier in the year we got a replacement air conditioner and new lighting as part of the County's Energy Conservation program. Many thanks to the Departmentof General Services for all its hard work on these issues!
Summer 2017. We'd like to thank our partners Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), the Department of Environmental Protection, the Hooks and Needles, and the Friends of the Library Montgomery County (FOLMC) and its Twinbrook Chapter for helping to make our summer reading program very special. We hosted a very fun "LEGO" derby, which MCPS Summer Rise interns helped us prepare. Our FOL Chapter provided funding for our race cars and ramps. We also held a wildly fun sharks program, and several other science programs during the summer.

| Ruiz Family Display Summer Reading Creations |
Our admiration and gratitude goes to the Ruiz family, pictured here in July, showing off the dioramas and posters each child created in celebration of Summer Read and Learn program.
Library Advisory Committee. Our Twinbrook Library Advisory Committee meets about six times per year. Library advisory committees (LACs) are a part of the library board and advise the library system on library services at each branch. We encourage customers to attend LAC meetings, provide feedback during, before, or after the meetings, and of course, to join the LAC. Our chairperson, Andrea, Secretary Ron, and members Shirley, Beatrice, and James also attend branch events and often set up a table the week before the LAC meetings to answer questions and gather feedback.
The next four meetings are:
- Thursday, November 10 at 6:30 PM
- Thursday, January 11 at 6:30 PM
- Thursday, March 8 at 6:30 PM
- Thursday, May 10 at 6:30 PM
At the November 10 meeting, we'll be focusing on the branch as a facility.
Other News. In other news, customers will be pleased to learn that the system is now selling ear buds ($1) and flash drives ($3). We continue to benefit from restored materials funding, we've been steadily taking in brand new travel books all summer long, and the stream of best sellers and new movies and TV shows is very healthy. We hope you'll enjoy some soon.
We hope to see you again soon at the Twinbrook Branch. If you haven't been since we re-opened, see our Twinbrook Flickr album to get a flavor for what's inside our branch.
Eric Carzon, Library Services Manager.
