Seekonk Public Library News 5.4 Monday, April 3, 2006 A monthly newsletter about the Seekonk Public Library http://www.seekonkpl.org news@seekonkpl.org _________________________________________________________________ Greetings from the Director, Sharon St. Hilaire: I was happy to report to the Seekonk Board of Selectmen and the Seekonk Finance Committee that the library's website is getting over 1,000 hits per day. Still we feel there is room for improvement. By July, we hope to have an easier to use and better designed website. If our FY07 budget request passes, the library will start providing more community information such as the Board of Health Call for volunteers below. ________________________________________________________________ CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS The Massachusetts Department of Public Health is requiring the Seekonk Health Department to formulate an Emergency Dispensing Site Plan. This plan calls for the capability to dispense and administer vaccines/antibiotics to 80% of our population, within 48 hours, in case of a flu pandemic or bioterrorist event. The Seekonk Health Department needs 70 volunteers to assist in the following areas: * Patient Flow - Greeters & Registration * Patient Care - Doctors, Nurses, Triage & Medical Evaluation * Transportation * Security * Child Care * Float Staff * Supply Staff * Communication Any person(s) interested can call the Board of Health at 1-508-336-2950, send a letter to the Board of health, 100 Peck Street, Seekonk, MA 02771 or email the Health Department at jrchenevert@seekonk-ma.gov or Dcurzake@seekonk-ma.gov. _____________________________________________________________________________ The draft copy of the proposed ByLaw changes for the Town of Seekonk is available on the library homepage, www.seekonkpl.org. *********************************************************** MARCH DVD's -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capote By: Hoffman, Philip Seymour -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chicken Little By: Marshall, Garry;
