July-September 2013
The Poplar Bluff Municipal Library was a recipient of a “Summer Reading Program
Collection Development Grant “ from LSTA in the amount of $3,766 in May 2013.
The grant provides funding for purchasing of books supporting our 2013 Summer
Reading Program.
With the assistance of (LSTA) we were able to expand services for our children and
those in neighboring communities. Additional educational resources in a variety of
formats have been made available as part of our library services. Participants of this
years Summer Reading Program have experienced social, intellectual, and cultural
growth as well as quality programming through the Children ‘s Library Department.
On May 7th, funds from the Missouri Athletes & Entertainers (A&E) tax were distributed to libraries across the state.
So what exactly is A&E?
The Non-Resident Professional Athletes and Entertainers Tax (A&E Tax) is a tax on the earnings of professional athletes and entertainers when playing or performing in the State of Missouri. It is collect-ed by the State of Missouri and, by Statute, is to be distributed among the following five groups: Missouri State Library Networking Fund (10%), Missouri Humanities Council Trust Fund (10%); Missouri Public Television Broadcasting Corporation Special Fund (10%); Missouri Historic Preservation Revolving Fund (10%) and the Missouri Arts Council Trust Fund (60%).
What can this money be used for?
A&E funds may be expended for approved library materials, such as books, audio materials, e-books and, if the content is owned by the library, e-audio. Ineligible materials include elec-tronic databases and other subscription content.
The burning question is what are we going to use it on, right?
DVD mini-series! So here's the list of what's on the way: Bible: The Epic Miniseries Downton Abbey: Season 2 Downton Abbey: Season 3 I, Claudius (35th Anniversary Ed.) Shogun: Complete Mini-Series Atlas Shrugged: Part II Battlestar Galactica: The Miniseries Brideshead Revisited Civil War: A Film by Ken Burns (Commemorative Ed.) North & South (BBC) North and South: The Complete Collection (John Jakes/US Civil War) Spartacus: The Mini-Series Steven Spielberg's Taken Thorn Birds Black Beauty: The Miniseries

Music on the Lawn
Music on the Lawn has been a new
and exciting experience for us this
year. It has been a great opportuni-
ty to bring the community together
in a relaxed setting. We’ve enjoy-
ing the sounds of talented local
musicians. The concerts have been
held in the beautiful Sensory Gar-
den that is now in full bloom and
over flowing with goodies. The
last concert is scheduled to be held
on July 12,2013 at 5:00 p.m. with
Guitarist, Tori Travers. Come rain
