John "Doc" Morrissey will be performing magic and making balloon animals at the Bookmobile on Sat. June 28th at the Township Independence Parade/Homer Fest at Culver Park.
He will need to pick up the GREEN VENDOR PASS before coming out to the Homer Fest/parade site. The VENDOR PASS is hanging on the cork strip.
Thanks for helping out!

Book Sale
Please remember to tell patrons that we have space limitations and that we prefer to accept donations during the first 2 weeks of August. If any patron asks to donate books before that date, please direct them to Adult Services so that arrangements can be made.
At this point, the basement is full and we can not store books in the meeting room until August due to programming.
Though we would like to, we can not continue to take boxes and boxes of books from everyone.

Teen Intern Applications
We have over 70 teens interning at the library this summer! Due to this large number of volunteers, we do not have spots for any future applicants. If patrons ask about applying for the teen intern program, please let them know that we had many more applicants than anticipated, and then take down their name & phone number (do not have them fill out an application) & let them know that they will be contacted if we have any more volunteer opportunities this year. Please give their information to Heather.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Why would someone want to join the Friends Group?
There are a lot of reasons.... check out the flyer on the white board!
A current Friend of the Library
If someone comes in who is already a Friend of the Library (you can tell ~ they have a "my friend" sticker on their library card) give them a raffle ticket to put in the coffee can on my desk. The drawing will take place at the end of the month.
The purple tickets are next to Jody S desk.
That's it! If you have any questions, please ask me.

How to become a Friend of the Library
When someone wants to sign-up as a member:
It's $5 for individual and $7 for family.
1. Have them fill out a membership form that is located on the corner of Jody S's desk. Staple the money to the form... if it's a check have them make it out to the Homer Library and put "friends" on the memo line. Put the check and form in the silver/black box on my desk.
2. Put a "My Friend" sticker on their card (don't cover the bar code) ~ located in a black and silver box on my desk.
3. Give the patron the stapled packet of "library bucks" ~ these can be used for fines or book sale. (in the black/silver box)
4. Give them a yellow "10 free copies" form ~ black/silver box
5. Give them one (1) raffle ticket; have them put their name and phone number on it and drop it in the can marked "friends" located at the circ desk.
