Davenport Public Library
Director
Tell us a little about yourself.
I’m an avid traveler. One of my favorite destinations is the West Indies. Many people call me a “foodie.” I love to
cook and eat different types of foods from Indian to Korean to you name it. I also have been told that I have a great
eye for design and space planning. I watch more HGTV than the law would allow, which is where I get a lot of my
ideas. I love to make spaces more useable and livable. When possible, rooms and work areas should inspire creativity
and comfort.
What are your hobbies?
I am a baseball groupie and a huge Atlanta Braves fan. I hear there are a lot of Cubs,
Cards, and White Sox fans in this area, so I don’t know how much love I will get here
in Davenport as a Braves fan. I’m also an avid bowler.
What got you interested in libraries or library school?
I used to teach kindergarten, and when the media specialist retired I was asked to fill
in. I really enjoyed working in the library, and it sparked my interest. I found out
what I needed in order to become a librarian, and the rest is history. I have been a
librarian for eleven years in various positions, and I have continued to move up into
my new position as Director at the Davenport Public Library. I have always enjoyed
connecting people with ideas and information and seeing a patron have that a-ha
moment, that moment where they have learned another way of thinking that helps
enrich their life!
Is there anything else that you would like to share?
I look forward to working in the new position and with staff to continue moving the
library forward. I am also excited about being engaged with the community and
getting their input about their library. I would also like to let everyone know how
supportive the staff has been even before I have come on board. They have really
shown how gracious they are, which is a great sign, and also very encouraging for a
new director coming into such a great library system! I am very excited to get started
on this new endeavor!

Director’s Notes
Imagine the possibilities for the summer!
As this is being written, it doesn’t feel like
spring will ever come, let alone summer, but
our Library staff is optimistic so you’ll find this
newsletter brimming with possibilities for the
summer! The Summer Reading Program will
offer kids and teens fun programs and cool
prizes for doing something that’s fun anyway –
READING! So, when your nine year-old
complains after only three days of summer
vacation that there isn’t anything to do, take a
look at the IMAGINE calendar, or visit the
Library website and see what cool things are
happening at the Library. Adults get to join in
on the fun as well by participating in the Adult
Summer Reading Program.
If you are interested in gardening and
volunteering, look in this issue for news about
a new garden club being formed at the
Fairmount Branch Library. This group is
planning improvements for the front garden
that was planted in memory of long-time
Davenport Public Library staff member,
Margaret Henry. They are just getting started
and new members and ideas are more than
welcome.
For the genealogists and local historians we
have made some changes in the RichardsonSloane Special Collections Center that will
make using of our microfilm much more
convenient and also finally let users print
images scanned using our large format color
scanner. When the hot weather arrives, the
Special Collections Center is the cool place to
do research!
If you have wondered whether reading a
magazine on an iPad or Kindle is something
you might like or if you’d simply like to see
some of the things you can do with a tablet,
by the time you read this we plan to have an
iPad and Kindle available for in-house use at
each of our three locations. The devices will
be set up for Zinio, our popular online
magazine service.
I could go on and on about everything that’s
happening – but the bottom line is that it’s all
happening at your Davenport Public Library!
Come visit us soon so you can get in on the
fun.
~ Amy Groskopf,
Associate Director for Resource Services
and Interim Director
Are you “PINNED” to DPL?
Pinterest is just like a scrapbook or
bulletin board, but instead of magazine
pages, photocopies, or doodles, a
Pinterest board is filled with images,
links, and videos. It’s easy, free, and
totally addicting! You can use it to plan
an event, collect inspiration for a
project, make a wish list, bookmark
delicious recipes, or catalog all the books and movies you’ve loved. At DPL, we use
Pinterest to share our staff’s favorite book and DVD recommendations, historic
photos from our Special Collections department, information about upcoming
programs, art and collections on display at the library, eBooks and book club kits
available from DPL, and tons of other fun stuff. Check out our boards at
pinterest.com/davenportlib – there’s something for everyone!
Three Songs per Week with Freegal™Music Service
Each cardholder is able to download 3 music titles per week with our new
subscription to FREEGAL. This service features the complete catalog of Sony Music
Entertainment as well as 15,000 independent
labels for a total count of 2.7 million songs in
over 220 genres of music.
Each title will become the cardholder’s to keep
on their device. It will not need to be returned
in a week or even three weeks. Yours to keep,
free and legal! What you will need is your
Davenport Public Library card. Go to our
website www.davenportlibrary.com and login
using your library card. There you will find
artists such as Adele, P!nk, Kelly Clarkson,
Train, Journey, Brad Paisley, Jake Owen and a host of others.
Imagine the possibilities at the Davenport Public Library!
TABLETS NOW AVAILABLE
FOR CHECKOUT!
With your library card, you can
now checkout a Kindle or an iPad
to use within the library for a two
hour time limit at any of the three
Davenport public libraries to
read Zinio magazines.
Have you tried Zinio yet?
It’s AWESOME and available for FREE with
your Davenport library card! Ask a
librarian for more information!

1st & 3rd Tuesdays
5:30 - 7:30 PM
From the DPL Anime Club:
TOP 5 CUTEST CHARACTERS EVER!
5:30 PM
5. Batman from the DC Universe: He may act all moody and dark and
jaded, but those itty bitty bat ears on his costume are super adorable.
4. Alphonse Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist: Alphonse lost his body during an alchemic experiment to
bring his mother back to life. Luckily, his brother, Edward, was there to attach his soul to a suit of
armor. Brothers helping brothers---sooooo charming.
3. Mokona Modoki from Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle and xxxHolic. Sweet little rabbits with 108
secret powers? Ahhhhmazing.
2. Pikachu from Pokémon: The most popular of all the Pokémon, Pikachu looks like a cheerful, cuddly mouse
with a name that sounds like a baby sneezing.
1. Hatsune Miku, virtual idol: Pigtails are always the cutest, and Hatsune has the most EPIC PIGTAILS EVER.
Come to Anime Club at 5:30pm at the Fairmount Branch Library on the first and third Tuesdays of the month.
Imagine an updated Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center…
By the time this is published we hope to be showing off some new features in our Special Collections Center. Obtaining and
conserving a very cool, very large 1857 map of Davenport as part of our mission to acquire authentic local history materials
required a very large map case for proper storage, and you know how the old “if you give a mouse a cookie” tale goes. One thing
has led to a lot of other wonderful changes!

The map cases containing our most often used items have been moved to the south side of the center along with the extra
large new case for the Davenport map and a number of oversized items for which we have never had proper storage. Rather
than lying on top of cases in enclosures, items can be more properly protected in these new, oversized map case drawers.

Our Patent and Trademark Resource Center Workstation now has a nice large desk with a bit more privacy for
entrepreneurs to utilize.

A new technology “hub” exists in the center of SC. Here will be found the print release station and a printer that
accommodates color or black/white as well as 11 x 17” paper! In addition, the computer reservation station, online library
catalog, overhead book scanner, and flatbed color scanner are now a part of this configuration. One computer is dedicated
to our Free Local Genealogy Indexes providing researchers handy access to these important resources. Rounding out the
hub is one of our five public use computers which provide access to our subscription databases like AncestryLibrary and
Access Newspaper Archive, as do all the public computers at our three locations.

Walk to the northeast corner of the facility to see another exciting change: three digitally equipped microfilm readerprinters, one of which is brand
new and state-of-the-art with an
oversized monitor and so many
bells and whistles we can’t even
begin to describe them! We still
provide six microfilm reader/
printers and two of the good old
“cranky” readers for microfilm
viewing, affording our patrons
eleven workstations for viewing
microfilmed newspapers, vital
records, and church records.
The things that haven’t changed are
our fine staff and dedicated
volunteers who are always on hand to
assist you with learning how to use
new equipment, direct you to where
items are stored, and answer your
local history or genealogy questions.
We are proud to show off our new
look, and we welcome you to spend
some time researching in the
Richardson-Sloane Special Collections
Center.

crafts just for seniors! This program is held at 1:00 p.m. every
third Thursday at the Eastern Avenue Branch (6000 Eastern
Avenue). Seniors can learn new crafts while chatting with
other seniors. No craft experience

This free film program explores movies that broke
through conventions with innovative technology, radical

Dear Reader Online Book Clubs
Summer nears. Perhaps time will present itself, allowing you to lie under a shady tree
or on a sunny beach to crack open a book’s spine or power one up on an electronic
device. “But what to read?” you may sometimes wonder.
The Library has some great resources to help you find your next reading adventure.
You may sign up for one or many of our Dear Reader Online Book Clubs. When you
do, each week, Monday through Friday, you’ll receive via e-mail a five-minute
selection from that week’s title. By the end of the week, you’ll have a good sense of
whether that week’s title is a good match for you.
Available Book Clubs: Pre-Publication Titles, Business, Teen, Good News, Non-Fiction,
General Fiction, Audio Book, Thriller, Mystery, Romance, Science Fiction, Classics, and
AuthorBuzz.
NoveList is a premier readers’ advisory resource. Whether you need to find the next
book in a series or find an author who is just like your favorite, find your next book at
NoveList.
Seeking detective stories based in Chicago? Wanting to see a list of Nero Wolfe
books? Or maybe you have read all of James Patterson’s offerings and want to see
what other authors’ titles are similar. Exploring NoveList will provide you a bevy of
titles that you can’t wait to read next.
