CHANGES IN THE LIBRARY WORLD—

PATRONS MAY HAVE ALREADY READ ABOUT CHANGES IN THE NEWSPAPER
A HANDOUT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PATRONS TOO

A new group of libraries has been formed and is named Pinnacle Library Cooperative. 

The libraries are Fountaindale Public Library (Bolingbrook), Joliet Public Library (Downtown and Black Road), Lemont Public Library, Plainfield Public Library, Shorewood-Troy Public Library and White Oak Public Library (Crest Hill, Lockport, and Romeoville).

What this means for our patrons?
·         At Homer Twp. Library we will no longer find these libraries’ items in our catalog.
·         Patrons will still be able to check materials out at Pinnacle libraries.
·         A Homer patron can go into a Pinnacle Library with their Homer card, and be added to the  Pinnacle database.
·         Homer patrons will be able to place holds and check out their materials as long as they go into a Pinnacle Library to get their materials, use their computers, etc. 

 We are sorry to see these libraries leave our consortium and wish them the best of luck.

 

Note:

We will continue to accept returns from the Pinnacle Libraries just as we do for Orland Library items.  Stress that the item will not be checked in until it is received at its home library and if fines are incurred we are not responsible.

Please let inquiring patrons know that we hope to host a book sale in the summer of 2013.

We will still take small donations, but will only take the amount needed to fill the sale shelf - we will not be storing any overflow donations. Please thank patrons for thinking of us.
