National Night Out, August 4, 2015!
What an event! Hundreds of people, entertainment, free food,
crafts, information, and general happiness. Two WoW! teams of librarians were
part of the fun.
Michelle and Jonathan talked to people at Quigley Park, near
Dakota and Fruit Avenues. A blood drive,
bands, car show, and a talk by Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer were featured. The
Fresno County Public Library table had flyers and library card applications, and
Michelle and Jonathan pointed people across the street to the Gillis Library,
less than a block away.
On National Night Out, Quigley Park was a happening place.
Shannon and Terrance made seven library cards at El Dorado
Park and Wesley Methodist Church on Barstow Avenue, west of Bulldog Stadium. They
demonstrated the library website, gave out flyers, and explained library
services. Dancers, rappers, singers, and a movie entertained the crowd. Chief
Dyer stopped by the library table for a photo opportunity.

National Night Out helps build police-community bonds,
promotes an anti-crime attitude, and brings neighborhoods together. Over 16,000
communities in the USA, its territories, Canada, and military bases
participate. It was fun for the WoW! librarians to be a part of the
celebrations.
