STAFF RAFFLE

Another staff raffle...yeah! This time it is for Champs MYSTERY gift cards. The MYSTERY gift cards have a value anywhere from $3 - $30. You won't know until you use it! If you're interested, put your name in the can by the coffeemaker. Good luck!

July 5

We will be closed on July 5 for Independence Day! I'm working with PALS to see if we can switch the items due on the 5th to the 6th. I will keep you informed of the answer.

Please have a wonderful and safe holiday!

Friends of the Library

THE FRIEND’S FOLDER IS STANDING UP BEHIND THE CASH REGISTER.

Existing FRIEND members need to renew and pay the yearly fee then they get a NEW GREEN FRIEND STICKER extending their membership through 2011. There is a place on their sticker to put the current MONTH.

The forms are in there in the folder too. If they are NEW or there is a change in their membership they need to fill out a new form.

Put a HOMER TOWNSHIP FRIEND sticker on their card (don't cover the barcode)

Yellow 2010 stickers are good till the month noted on it. (IF no month is noted, then their membership will need to be renewed in December 2010.

FRIEND MONEY DOES NOT GO IN THE CASH REGISTER—GIVE IT TO SARA.

FRIENDS get one (1) raffle ticket for every visit; have them put their name and phone number on it and drop it in the can marked "friends" located at the circ desk.

(They will NOT receive the library bucks or free copies. FYI: Friends memberships are ANNUAL.)

POLISH LANGUAGE BOOKS

The Polish books have been moved to the short shelf across from the Circ desk on the side facing the new books.
