crofton library: Special Events at Crofton Library in January 2013 - 01/02/13 04:08 AM

Crofton Library is arguably the heart of the community.  In fact, it serves as the community center we don't yet have, but that's a topic for another day. Several activities are coming up at the library in January including the following...
 
January 8, 7 p.m. - PJ Story Time (Ages 2-5)
According to the library website, you will "cuddle up in your coziest pajamas" as library staff shares wintry stories, songs and rhymes with children aged two to five. Parents and caregivers must accompany two and three year-olds, while children four years and older may attend alone, providing an … (3 comments)

crofton library: Crofton MD Residents Schedule Library Grounds Clean-up - 10/18/10 03:14 AM
Join your neighbors at Crofton Library on Saturday, October 23, for a day of beautification.  Wear your work clothes, bring your garden gloves and tools, and come prepared to weed, plant daffodil bulbs provided by Crofton Village Garden Club, spread mulch, and rake leaves.  Arrive at 9, and you'll be on your way home by noon.
You've probably noticed how the grounds at Crofton Library have been less attractive lately than in the past.  That's because county budget cuts have eliminated staff who would have maintained the grounds.  But we don't have to settle for “ugly” in Crofton, when there are so … (9 comments)

crofton library: Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss - 03/01/09 10:46 PM

Crofton kids have two reasons to celebrate today - it's not only a snow holiday from school, it's Dr. Seuss's 105th birthday.
No doubt they'll want to go out and play in the snow but, when they come in to warm up,  celebrate the occasion with Dr. Seuss crafts projects, counting 105 pennies or doing 105 jumping jacks, coloring these downloadable pages and maybe even enlisting their help to make a birthday cake. (There's a Dr. Seuss Parade at Crofton Library on Wednesday, so be sure to read the details below.)

crofton library: Detour to Crofton - Kentucky, not Maryland - 08/14/08 01:55 AM
Thinking of relocating to Crofton Maryland?  Don't get it confused with Crofton Kentucky, because there's a world of difference! 
En route home from Texas last week, my husband and I decided to take a 160-mile detour off our route across Kentucky to visit another Crofton, one of three in the United States (Kentucky, Maryland and Nebraska).  Unfortunately, we didn't get there 'til nearly dusk so our photos aren't the greatest, but you'll see Crofton Kentucky and Crofton Maryland have very little in common.

crofton library: Crofton Library - Heart of the Community (Localism Featured) - 07/10/08 07:02 PM
Included in Your Online Relocation Package for Anne Arundel County, Maryland - Home of Fort George G. Meade, NSA, Northrop Grumman, BWI, and the U.S. Naval Academy.
 
Crofton Library is arguably the heart of the community.
Located at the intersection of Reidel Road and Aberdeen Drive, it is easily accessible to every neighborhood in Crofton, and walkable for many of them.
I remember a time when libraries were little more than a musty-smelling old building with poorly lit rows of books that could be borrowed for two weeks.  Geeky-types sat at large tables, surrounded by piles of books - doing … (9 comments)

crofton library: My Letter to the Editor Got Results! - 03/29/08 02:04 PM
I'm still laughing out loud...   Margaret Woda, Community Activist.   That's me!  
My recent Letter to the Editor of the local newspaper wasn't my first, but it is the only one to achieve prompt tangible results.  When I read Mike in Tucson's post about trying to get our names in the print media, I knew my story would be a good follow-up to that.  But let me go back to the beginning:
 
Like many of you, I have several Google Alerts set up, including one for my community.  It turns out there are quite a few other Croftons - one in Kentucky, another in Nebraska, one in Canada and several in the United Kingdom … (25 comments)
