The McKell Branch Library will continue it’s food for fines until December 21. If you owe over-

due fines, you can bring in non-perishable food items in exchange for fines. The food items will

be donated to a local food bank in South Shore to help feed those in need.

We would like to thank our storyhour parents, grandparents and caregivers for responding so generously to the “Kisses of Grace” program. This program sends “kid friendly” foods home on Friday for 30+ children. Each week Miss Vicki asks for a specific item to be brought the following week. With your response some weeks we use a cart to assist the volunteers in loading the donations. Thanks again!

E-books and E-audio books are being requested everyday. To get the most for our money,

Greenup County Libraries would like to join the e-book consortium, Kentucky Unbound. This

is a statewide group of libraries sharing a collection of books, music and movies. This proc-

ess requires additional software, verification of borrowers, both of course involve fees. Now

that the Kindle format is also available we are moving forward in this effort. At this time a live

date sometime in February is our target. We are excited to be offering this service.

Game Night at the Greenup Library has been a great success. On the second Thursday of each month patrons gather at the library and play board games and card games. Refresh-ments are served and are free. The time was 6-8pm but due to popularity a new time of 5-8pm was implemented. If you like to play cards or board games come join us for an evening of family fun!! The Department for Libraries and Archives is providing theme kits for programming. Due

to the success of the Game Night we have decided to try the Wii gaming package for a special game night February 9th. The kit contains 7 or 8 games as well as a microphone for karaoke. We will have 2 stations to play and for those who choose we will still have our regular games available. Please call the library if you plan to attend this special Wii night on February 9th or for more information.

Maloneton by Joyce Gillum, Greenup County Genealogy and Historical Society

In the early 1800s, William C. Malone with his wife Mary (Greenslate) moved to Kentucky and purchased property. The area was named Maloneton for William C. Malone. Malone started a wagon making business. He was listed on the 1870 Census as a carpenter and the 1880 Census as a wagonmaker. He was born in Ohio July 12, 1828. His wife Mary was from Virginia. They had one daughter, Elizabeth. Elizabeth married a Peter Dupuy.

The Maloneton post office was opened on June 20, 1884. This post office also served the communities of Enterprise (later called Valley View) and Fairview. The post office was closed in the late 1980s.

Malone died October 18, 1912 and was buried on his farm near Route 7; his wife Mary is buried beside him. The date of death for Mary on her grave stone is 1907, but her death certificate date of death is January 14, 1915. The recent discovery of this old cemetery was made by members of the Greenup County Genealogy Society: Joyce Gillum, Cathy Allen and Beth Boggs. The farm is owned by Michael Hannah. Mr. Hannah has been maintaining this cemetery for many years.

Present day Maloneton is located along Route 7 starting about two miles from South Shore with Sunshine on one end and Lynn on the other, and made up of prosperous farming bottoms along Tygarts Creek and well-kept, modern ranch-style brick homes.

1. Librarians take care of libraries, which are still invaluable today. 2. Not all information is on the internet. 3. Older books still hold great cultural significance. 4. Libraries are still repositories for some of the most valuable works of literature in the world. 5. Even with the internet, the library is still the best place to do research. 6. Girls with glasses can still rock the “sexy librarian” look. 7. “Sexy Librarian” is still a popular costume at Halloween. 8. You can’t exactly find periodicals like The New England Journal of Medicine in Barnes and Noble. 9. For that matter, looking at turn-of-the-century National Geographics is still pretty entertaining. 10. Colleges need something to remodel every so often. 11. The library is still the best meeting spot for college students working on group projects. 12. Libraries are where most colleges store some of their history (choir CDs, videos of athletic matches, etc.). 13. A library is one of the few places people can have free internet access. 14. This means some libraries even hold LAN parties during later hours. 15. Somebody has to help lazy people find what they want. 16. Even online collections of books usually connect directly to a library. 17. “Librarian” is still a better career choice for spinsters over “School Lunch Lady.” 18. Studies have shown libraries and librarians improve student test scores. 19. They also have been shown to improve students’ individual learning skills. 20. With their training in instructional design, librarians can help teachers find resources for their curriculum.
