Go Red! Girls Night Out!

Go Red! Girls Night Out! starts at 6:30 pm, not 7 pm.

DISPLAYS IN THE EASY SECTION

All the displays on the top of the EASY bookshelves are now labeled with the collection that should be displayed in them. This is to avoid indiscriminate displaying of books.
Seasonal books may be displayed as the Youth Services directs. Currently the Valentine books are on the slats at the front of the Youth Services desk.

IMPACT FEES

As of the January 26th Board Meeting the impact fees for Homer Township have changed to $212.

The impact fees for Lockport will remain the same at $50 or $100.

This is to begin immediately.

If you have any questions, please ask.

Thanks,

Sara

DVDs coming soon... (I hope)!

So far we have had 61 movies donated! Please feel free to encourage anyone you know that might donate movies, especially children, family viewing, or classics. We will accept all donations!

We need to top 200 DVDs to open this collection for loan. I have submitted a grant to assist with funding the DVD collection and will learn if it is successful in February. Hopefully, we will continue to get DVD donations from residents AND get the grant awarded.

Feel free to mention to your friends, clubs, scouts, or other groups, that we are seeking donations to establish this new collection. The more people that know - the better! Thank you.

ROCKS AND MINERALS

Mrs. Santucci from Ludwig School is doing her annual Rocks and Minerals Project. Julie has pulled some books and marked them "in library use only." The books are located on the display shelf in front of Kathy's desk. There are additional books for checkout located in Juvenile and Adult Non-Fiction in the 520's.
Thanks, Kitty

January 19th DUE DATE

So I guess people had books due on a day we were closed.
Waive the fine for that day if necessary.
I also called to have the due date adjusted too so anything due on Jan 19th have been switched to the 20th.
My apologies especially since the overdue notices will come for that day already!

The Friends group has an ongoing book sale. The books are located on a table across from circ. The cost of the books are posted on the back cover. Do NOT put the money in the register.... please write the amount of the books on the paper at circ and put the money in the envelope attached. If you have to make change, talk to Cindy.

Please have the patron make their checks payable to "Friends of Homer Township." If you have any questions, please ask me.

Thank you!

I appreciate everything today. Thank you for celebrating my birthday with me!

Computer Room

The Computer Room has reopened! There are now 6 computers in the room, we did not place the "broken" computers back into the computer room. The computer located by the tax forms is a card catalog computer -- you can still let people use this computer when the room is full. However, this will change once the administrator settings are placed back onto the computer. Thanks!

New Catalog

The new catalog is coming! Don’t forget to take a look at the catalog and play around. During the next week (starting Wed. afternoon), I’d like to meet with everyone individually to look at the new catalog and our new database, Gale Virtual Reference Library. Please make sure to meet with me when our schedules overlap. Thanks! Alex
