The Watertown Public Library Business After Hours and Adams Dentistry

The Watertown and East Wilson Chamber of Commerce is featuring a special Business After Hours at the Watertown Library Thursday night September 27th, 2018 from 5:30 pm to 7 pm.

"The library will be the true ‘hot spot’ of ‘hot spots," says president Vickie Frazier, "We will be celebrating the library and all its resources with refreshments and door prizes. We are also introducing the new dentists in our area, the Adams."

The library has over 26,000 volumes of books, tapes, DVDs, Launchpads and Play Away Views. The also offer Verizion "Hot Spots" for rent for ten-dollars a week where you can get internet on up to fifteen devices for free.

"A lot of people in our area can’t get cable and internet," says branch manager Pamela Wiggins, "These devices work anywhere you can get a Verizion phone to work."

People of all ages are welcome to visit the library for the event. "Parents love the ‘Play Away Views’ when they are traveling because they have pictures that move and read along for children," says Wiggins.

Wiggins says she loves to interact with the people who come into the library. She believes in helping with all types of information needs. She even sits with patrons to help with healthcare, loss of spouse paperwork and social security issues whenever she can. "People call me a community center," says Wiggins.

There are some limitations faced by the library today. "I like being on the square, but we are land locked and parking is tight. We also have minimal in space so that limits what I can do here," says Wiggins, "If I could have my wish I would have a five acre lot with a one acre library sitting on it."

"The library is a focal point of the community and we thought there was no better way to showcase it as well as introduce our new neighbors, doctors of dentistry John and Laura Adams," says Frazier, "they met in dental school and have settled in Alexandria, just down the highway from Watertown."

The Adams bought their home and their dentistry business at the same time. The office is in the downtown of Alexandria. Their home is in Watertown.

John had an Uncle who was a dentist when he was growing up in Mountburg Arkansas. "I wanted to interact with people and help them. I served at Fort Lynnetwood as Captain for four years where I saw basic trainees," says John. Now he and his wife Laura have a nine-month old son Levi that keeps them busy.

Come celebrate our library and meet new friends at the Business After Hours Thursday evening September 27.
