Prescription Drug Take Back Day @ Kewanna Union Township Public Library

Saturday, January 17, 2015

12:00-3:00 pm

Prescription Take Back Day is a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs that could be potentially dangerous.  All expired, unused, and unwanted prescriptions or over the counter drugs will be accepted.  There will also be a sharps container available.

Local law enforcement officers will be in charge of the collection and disposal of all medicines in a secure and environmentally sound way.

This service is free and anonymous, and no questions will be asked.

It’s a great time to clean out your medicine cabinet!

The Kewanna Union Township Public Library was proud to participate in the Fulton County Leadership Academy tour of Kewanna on Tuesday, November 18, 2014.  Tours of area businesses were given by Tony Pesaresi at Winamac Coil Springs, Jeff Finke at Kewanna Metal Specialties, and Wade Bussert at Diane Tessler’s Art Studio.   After the tours were completed, the group returned to the library to discuss Kewanna’s opportunities and the Indiana Main Street Grant.  Town Board members, Joe Hott, Jeff Finke, Dan Birge, and Town Clerk Jenny Kay participated in this discussion along with the members of the Fulton County Leadership Academy, and teacher Mark Kepler of Purdue Extension.

Kewanna-Union Township Public Library will celebrate Teen Read Week (October 12-18, 2014) with special events and programs aimed at encouraging teens around the area to read for the fun of it. Thousands of libraries, schools and bookstores across the country will hold similar events centered on this year’s theme, Turn Dreams into Reality @ your library.

Teen Read Week is a time to celebrate reading for fun while encouraging teens to take advantage of reading in all its forms —books, magazines, e-books, audiobooks and more! It is also a great opportunity to encourage teens to become regular library users.

In recent years, many families have had to adapt to make do with less as a result of the economy. Teen Read Week is a great opportunity for teens and their families to learn about all the free services and resources the library offers.  The library also offers a safe and supervised space for adolescents to engage in creative, educational activities with caring adults and mentors.

Kewanna-Union Township Public Library invites teens, parents and other concerned community members to participate in special programs and events during Teen Read Week. Our events include a Reading Contest, Trivia Contest, and “Turn Your Dreams into Reality” Drawing Contest.  Call Kewanna-Union Township Public Library at 574-653-2011 or check our website www.kewanna.lib.in.us for more details.
