New Locations

Board Games
We have a collection of board games available for in-library use! They are located above the textbooks in the childrens room. Patrons of all ages can play these games. We will be putting small signage on each game encouraging patrons to keep the pieces together, etc.

Teen Book Club Books
The books for the Teen Book Club (which used to be at the Help Desk on Bonnie's side) are now located in the teen area under the new YA books.

Senior Taxes

I have the senior tax registration forms.

Patrons will need to call or stop in the register. We will keep the registration forms at the Adult Services Desk. If someone from AS is not available, please register the patron. The forms are in a blue folder that says “AARP Tax Preparation Sign Up”.
The folder is located by the help desk printer.

GED, English, Language, and Basic Math books are located in the New Book Section between Fiction and NF.

Senior Taxes

Senior Taxes will no longer be drop in. We will be taking reservations (Senior Services will be providing us with the times and lengths of each reservation.) We will need to take these reservations over the phone.

Also, only certain people will be able to come in on Feb 2nd and Feb 9th. If they're doing certain forms, they might not be able to file until the 16th.

Also note, that they are filing the taxes online that day. They are not doing paper forms.

Time clock and leave forms

Starting on Sunday, January 9th we will no longer be using the time clock in the back room. You are to clock in and out at the computer in front.

In the shared drive there is a folder that says employee forms. In that folder there is a leave form that needs to be filled out by the person requesting the leave and signed by their manager and then turned into me so that you are paid. Forms have to be turned in before you take your leave. Except if you call in sick, then your manager will fill out the form.

If there are any question please come and ask.
