EVENT KEEPER

We are beginning a new way patrons can register for programs! It's called EventKeeper and it's wonderful! Patrons can register for the programs from their home or work computers. The old program book will be gone. The site will become live and visible to you and the patron on Tuesday. I will show each of you how this works so if someone calls, you can either walk them through it or register them at your desk/circ desk.

This is a fabulous service that we are offering to our patrons! EventKeeper is easy to use and the registration will take less than a minute from start to finish.

Thanks for your cooperation!

DVD's and HOLDS

All current DVD’s will be available for holds.

After today NEW DVD’s will be cataloged as NEW and will not be available for holds.

We will I.L.L. the DVD’s out in their current packages.

PLEASE check the condition of each DVD and note any possible problems. (We may need to talk about this a bit more.)

More information is sure to come. Let me know what you are seeing on the picklist. I am curious.

Thanks,
Jody

We will be collecting donations August 3-12 during library hours. If possible, we ask that you hold onto your donations until that time due to space issues. If for some reason, you need to donate the items before then, please contact Alex or Heather before delivering donations so that arrangements can be made. The library is unable to pick up donations. We will be accepting books, music, and movies.
We cannot accept magazines, Reader’s Digest Condensed, encyclopedias over 5 years old, or damaged items.
Leftover items will be donated to a local organization.

For patrons wanting to donate non-fiction, please ask the patron to use their judgement on whether the items are still current and relevant.

CHICK WINNERS

Winners of the Chick-It-Out contests are posted on the board near the incubator. Winners have been called and prizes are located on top of the CD case in the staff workroom. Thanks to everyone for their help the last few weeks. I think it has been a wonderful learning experience for all of us! And aren't those chicks cute?!
