Jimmy Orsillo opening a new window into learning: his first library card; with Peg Bermal, Sisters Branch Librarian, and Jimmy’s mom, Yvette Orsillo helping him along.
New windows of life, learning and living opened to four-and-a-half-year-old Jimmy Orsillo, of Tumalo, last Monday morning in the Sisters Library; his mom, Yvette Orsillo, brought him in for his first library card.
It was a very exciting day for Jimmy, and began in early morning, when he came down for breakfast all excited, saying, "Mom! Today I get my library card!"
In addition to checking out the books he wants to read and ponder (he's already well on his way to counting!), Jimmy can check out DVDs, puppets, music CDs, play computer games in the Children's Room, has access to the Internet, and attend story times and summer reading programs. And it's all free!
There are two things Jimmy loves to have with him when he's traveling in the back of his parent's Chevy: his books and a good movie to watch. As he looked at his new card, a big grin came across his face, and he went dashing into the children's wing of the Sisters Library (without hesitating at the computer games).
It took him only a few minutes to find the books he wanted: one on warriors and another on strong stuff, and two DVDs. With his new library card tucked into his pocket, Jimmy Orsillo, one of the newest patrons of the Deschutes Library System, left the Sisters Library a happy young man.
