Energy Info

The deadline for Energy applications was Tuesday, February 16th. However, I don't want to turn anyone away, so we do have some applications behind the Help Desk in case anyone is still interested in it (but I've taken down the applications from around the library). I sent out an email & an actual letter to the teens (43 of them! woo!) that gives them more information on the programs & what they should expect. If anyone has other questions, please refer them to Alex or I. Thanks!

Cancelled program

Tonight's (2/7) program, Crazy About Cakes, has been cancelled due to weather and potentially hazardous driving conditions for our presenter.

We will reschedule and will have the new date by the end of this week.

Patrons have been called but there were 3 patrons that I have not been able to get a hold of.

PATRON STATION UPDATE

The table between the copiers has been set up with a few items the patrons ask for occasionally.

There is a pair of scissors and a stapler chained to the table.
I also put a note holder, pencils and paper clips too.

Check the supplies please. But don't put too many paper clips out at one time.
Tape will not be put out there so they will still have to ask you for it.

There is a pencil sharpener out there too!

TAX Links

The Tax links are available on the left-hand side of the homepage.
Once the Energy Application Deadline is reached, I'll move the tax links to the center as well as keeping the links on the left-hand side of the page.

Please remind those calling about tax forms that we do have them available at the library and that we are happy to print copies for their usage. Please note that there is a charge for printing forms that are not available on paper within the library.
