Youth Services Newsletter

Hello, my name is Crystal Salenda and I'm thrilled to introduce myself to you as the new Youth Services Manager! Much of my adult life I've said that my dream job is to work in a library and now I'm living that dream! I spent the majority of my career at The Children's Museum of Indianapolis prior to being a stay-at-home mom. I'm so happy to be back to work and couldn't be more excited to be here!

I love to spend my free time reading. I enjoy fiction books that make my mind work and leave me on the edge of my seat but I also enjoy light-hearted reads. I also love children's books. A couple of my favorites include The Boxcar Children, Wonder, and Where the Wild Things Are. My other hobbies include hiking, kayaking, cycling, practicing yoga, and travelling. I especially love to engage in these hobbies with my husband and our two daughters who are 9 and 14 and our oversized golden-doodle!

I look forward to meeting you all! Stop by and introduce yourself.

May your holidays be filled with happiness.

Sincerely,

Crystal

Upon starting my role at the Danville Library I was surprised and thrilled to learn that passes to various cultural institutions could be checked out upstairs at the Adult Services Desk! These passes are good for one week and may be renewed one time. They must be returned to the Adult Services Desk, not in the drop box. In the event the pass is lost it will be charged to your library account to cover the cost of a replacement.

The library also has a link for discounted tickets to the Indianapolis Zoo.

This pass provides:

• Free admission for 4 people to the Indiana State Museum
• Free admission for 4 people to all 12 Indiana Historic Sites
• $5 validated parking at the White River State Parking Garage

This pass provides:

• Free admission for two adults and their children
• Free parking in the White River State Park
• 15% discount on purchases at the museum store
• 10% discount at the Eiteljorg Museum Cafe

This pass even includes entry Jingle Rails, their holiday experience.

This pass provides:

• Free admission for 2 adults and 4 children
• Free parking in the lot located on New York Street
• 10% discount at the Basile History Market and Stardust Terrace Café

This pass also includes admission into Festival of Trees, their holiday experience.

All of our events are made possible through the generosity of the Friends of the Library. The Friends of the Library was founded to support the Danville Public Library in various ways. They sponsor all library programs as well as help buy the supplies/equipment needed for programs through membership dues and fundraising activities. We are always looking for more members! If you are interested in becoming a member of the Friends of the Library, please visit our website here for more information. You may also click here to download a printable brochure and membership form.

The Library will ensure its efforts, resources and services evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of a diverse community.
