Most of us agree that it is
important to get out there and
vote. In an effort to assist
community members with
registering to vote, the Library is
pleased to be part of National
Voter Registration Day on
September 27th from 3:00-6:00
p.m.
The League of Women Voters will
be here at the Library and there
will be a table set up get you
registered to vote. Paper forms
will be available as well as
computer access to fill out your
voter registration on the spot.
Stop by the Windsor-Severance
Library, have refreshments, pick
up some voter education
information and get your vote on!
This month your Library will be
getting out into the community,
even more than we usually do!
Why? The Clearview Library
District is participating in the
global event Outside the Lines,
that promotes libraries and
librarianship.
Outside the Lines is an initiative
designed by Colorado library
marketers and directors that gets
libraries “walking the walk” –
taking action to show our
communities how important
libraries are and how they’ve
changed.
This celebration takes many of the
concepts discussed at RSquared –
The Risk & Reward Conference,
such as creativity, customer
curiosity, culture, community and
creative spaces, and puts them into
action where they count – in our
local communities.
Keep an eye out for Library staff
in unexpected locations this
month!
National
Voter
Registration
Day In 2014, approximately 52 million
of the Rising American Electorate
in America did not vote because
they weren’t registered, missed
registration deadlines or did not
know how or where to register to
vote.

Monday-Friday 9:00 a.m.– 8:00 p.m.
Saturday 9:00 a.m.– 5:00 p.m.

Bob was a physical education teacher in California for 30 years before retiring and moving to Colorado with his wife, Deb. When he’s not at the Library, he likes to play pickleball, go bowling, and play golf. About 4 years ago, Bob heard about a wonderful program where therapy dogs read with children in libraries and schools, so he and Max, (his previous dog), became involved. Every week Max would come home and tell Ranger about all the fantastic stories the wonderful children would read to him. It's no surprise that Ranger wanted to go to the Library too. Ranger is a 4 1/2 year old St. Bernard mix (with probably retriever or collie). When he was about 7 weeks old, his niece and her fiancé found Ranger abandoned on the side of a
road. After 2 years they could no longer keep him so he came to live with Bob. In Bob’s words: “ Ranger loves people. He loves to shake hands and say hello to all the boys and girls and moms and dads (and staff). He loves being petted and often lays down to get a tummy rub. At home he loves to take walks around the neighborhood, play tug-of-war and chase me around the yard and tackle me from behind. He is a big, lovable lummox of a dog and I hope we can continue to come to the Library for many years to come.” The Library hopes so too!

The Windsor-Severance Library District
Foundation Biannual book sale is just around
the corner.
This year the sale will be hosted at the
Windsor Art & Heritage Center, 116 N 5th St., Windsor.
September 23– October 1
Hours are 10 a.m.—5 p.m.
Proceeds from the book sale go to the Library
Foundation. The Windsor-Severance Library
Foundation provides financial support for the
Clearview Library District to meet the needs of a
diverse and growing population. It established an
Endowment Fund to assist with long-term library
needs. The Endowment Fund generates income for
library programs and wants that extend beyond the
library’s yearly budgets. The Foundation provides a
vehicle for tax-deductible contributions through its
501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt status.
A small percentage of funds raised are dedicated to
short-term projects such as the Read and Grow
program, and Author Event Series.
The best part of the book sale is the fact that you can
find all kinds of books and movies, from non-fiction
to children’s books. All for great prices and for a
great cause.

The song may say, ‘I’d like to teach the world
to sing,” but did you know that
singing actually teaches us? Singing breaks
words into individual syllables, which helps us
hear the sounds of a language.
Your kids love your voice! Sing nursery
rhymes and silly songs like “The Wheels on
the Bus” and “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”
with them. Make up words to your own
songs. Sing, dance, and play music!
