Long Waitlists, Small Spaces, OH MY!

We have been blown away by the interest in our Summer Reading Program. Piedmont Public Library strives to offer the best programs and events to our community. Each year the program grows. Our goal is to boost literacy, community engagement, and make memories in our rural library setting. Here is the reality. We have a small space that we utilize to the maximum capacity. We are a mighty staff of five, with only one member full-time. While we would love to welcome everyone interested into our classes, we have to operate with a registration. This is to maintain safety, utilize available staff, and make the most of our resources.

If you have been unable to make it onto a registration list, PLEASE put your name on the waitlist. If we add additional classes, we will pull waitlisted participants to fill the spots. We frequently have people cancel within 24 hours. A waitlist participant will be added to fill the empty spot. 

All we ask, please notify us or cancel your registration if you can't make an event you registered to attend. When a sign-up has 15 spots and a 30-person waitlist, it is disappointing to see no-show seats sitting empty. Help us maximize the success of our programs and events! 

As always, we are incredibly thankful to our community for your support. We love to watch your family grown, learn, and make memories. Thank you for including us in your summer!
