FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY

THE FRIENDS GREEN FOLDER IS STANDING UP BEHIND THE CASH REGISTER.

Membership Forms need to be filled out for RENEWING members as well as NEW members.

FRIEND memberships are ANNUAL. Existing FRIEND members need to renew and pay annually to extend their membership.

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

There is a place on the sticker to write the current MONTH. New stickers are BLUE 2012.

Green 2011 stickers are good till the month noted on it. (If no month is noted, then their membership will be good until December 2011.

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

We currently do not have Friends Raffles but if something were available it would be posted.

Pinata Winner-Bookmobile

Matt won the brown unicorn pinata which is on the bookmobile department desk. His name is on a tag on the prize. A message has been left at his home. Thank you.

PRE SURVEY/POST SURVEY - KEY GRANT

As part of one of the requirements for the KEY grant, we need patrons to complete a survey. There is a PRE-SURVEY at CIRC AND the ADULT HELP DESK. Completed surveys can be given to Heather. In a week or two we will put out a POST-SURVEY at CIRC and the ADULT HELP DESK. Same rules apply. Encourage patrons to fill it out. Entries will go into a drawing to win a Homer Library water bottle and cooler pack. Thanks!

WATER OUTDOOR PLANTS

I just planted new flowers in the outdoor pots in the front of the library. Therefore, we will begin our daily watering. The schedule is on the watering jar. Cooperation from everyone is greatly appreciated.

MEDIEVAL TIMES COUPONS

Apparently, the Medieval Times coupons will not work on-line. They must order tickets over the phone through the 888 phone# listed on the coupon.

FUNDRAISERS

We are having a fundraiser at Buffalo Wild Wings in Orland Park every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday through July 24th. Just bring in the yellow flyer from the reading desk.
