Weather Update: Rainy Days and Food Drive at Johnson City Public Library

Weather Update: Rainy Days Ahead in Johnson City

Good morning, Johnson City! As we dive into this week, it looks like we’re in for a mix of wet weather and cozy days indoors. The forecast is calling for some rain early today, followed by lingering cloudiness that will blanket our lovely city. If you’re planning to step outside, keep an umbrella handy because there’s an 80% chance of rain, especially during the afternoon hours. Temperatures will hover around a cool 50°F, so a light jacket wouldn’t hurt, either!

What’s Happening at the Library?

While the rain may keep some of us indoors, there’s a fantastic opportunity happening at the Johnson City Public Library that you might want to take advantage of! The library is hosting a *food drive* that not only helps those in our community but also gives you a chance to clear up any overdue fines from those books you may have forgotten about.

Here’s how it works: for every nonperishable, unexpired food item you donate at the library’s Circulation Desk, they will waive $2 in overdue fines. It’s a win-win! Not only do you help stock the shelves at the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee, but you also save a few bucks on those pesky library fees.

How You Can Help

Now, you might be wondering what types of foods to bring. Anything that can sit on a shelf for a while—like canned goods, pasta, and rice—is perfect. Remember to double-check the expiration dates before you drop them off. It’s super easy to help out, so why not gather up a few items from your pantry and head over to the library?

The library encourages all residents to participate in this wonderful initiative, and it’s a great way to contribute to the community while enjoying a day out, even if the rain is falling. If you’re not sure what to bring, just ask the friendly staff at the Circulation Desk—they’re always ready to assist!

Stay Updated!

Also, don’t forget to keep your finger on the pulse of what’s happening in our community. You can easily sign up to receive news and updates directly to your desktop. It’s as simple as clicking on the little bell icon you see on the library’s website. This way, you can manage your notifications and stay informed about the latest events and services offered by the library.

Whether you’re diving into a new book, enjoying some quiet reading time while the rain pours down outside, or supporting a good cause, the Johnson City Public Library is the place to be this week. Remember, every little bit helps, so even if you can only spare one can of food, it makes a difference!

Let’s Make It a Great Week!

So, let’s embrace the rainy weather as a chance for some good reading and community support. Head to the library with your donations, cozy up with a great book, and stay dry, Johnson City! Together, we can make our community better, one book and one can at a time!

Until next time, stay warm and dry out there!
