Golden Opportunities Coupon Book

We have the new 2008 Golden Opportunities Coupon Books available. The books are $25 each. The procedure is as it was last year.... Fill out the paper work in the box under my desk and give the patron a book. The money (check or cash) goes into the envelope in the box.... do not put the money in the cash register! If you get a check, ask the patron to make the check out to the Homer Township Library.

If you have any questions, please ask me.

Thanks.
Sara

Hold Problem

Today I put a new note up on the white board.
Watch Out for books that should be intransit...one was
found on the "to be called shelf."

HOLD PROBLEM

A Patron wanted a book titled: A bend in the Road

A Hold was placed on the first book title that came up,

This wasn’t the book the patron wanted. There is another book with the same title but different author that shows up further down the list. (In WorkFlows and IBistro)

Examples are on the Whiteboard.

Bookmobile Blurbs

The bookmobile will be on display at EXPO this Sat., Sept. 22nd at Hadley from 9-2. We will have a raffle and will promote the Big Read as well as the new bookmobile schedule. Come and visit us if you are there!

"Mysterious Happenings" are occurring on the bookmobile. Kids are invited to write a book review, create a bookmark, or draw a mini poster of their favorite mystery book. There is an envelope on the cork strip for any entries which are turned in at the library. This activity runs form Sept. 10th - Oct. 20th.

New Schedules for 2007-2008 are available now. There are several in the acrylic holder at the front desk and in the holders near the hallway with the water fountain.
You may identify the new schedules by their sophisticated plum and green coloring!
