PENNY WISHING WELL

The Penny Wishing Well is here on loan through October. There are bookmarks in YS/AS/Circ with a penny attached and also jars of pennies. Please pass these out to patrons and encourage use of the Penny Wishing Well!

UPDATE: SCHOOL BOOKS DROPPED OFF HERE

THIS UPDATE IS FROM A MAY 2007 POST.

When a book is dropped here but belongs to a school, fill in the information on the form in the back of the “I.L.L. pulled” notebook.

I added sections to the form so more information can be noted. 

Look the form over.

 

There is a place to note that we received the book and then if it is picked up we must note that also.

NOW WE ALL JUST NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THE FORM IS THERE AND USE IT.




 

MOVING COLLECTIONS / AWARD WINNERS

The Berenstein Bears, Arthur, & Clifford series are all now on their regular shelves instead of on a shelf by the Award Books in the Children's room.

The Award Books should only have the past Winner and the Nominee for the next year.  (Caudill, Bluestem, Monarch
2013 Nominees currently.)

NOTE:  Stickers for past Nominees are still on the books that didn't win for their year.

MOVED STUFF TODAY

The paper cabinet is now next to the copiers.  All the paper is in there.

The table that was between the copiers is now next to the hold shelf.  Later the Circ Printer will be put up on it.

The fax machine is on a small typing table so it is lower but in the same spot.  The "receipt" paper is in the large drawer on the window wall at Circ.

LAST DAY FOR VOTER'S REGISTRATION

The last day to take registrations for voting in the November 6^th General Election is Tuesday, October 9^th.

 

All registrations you take on or before October 9^th must be returned to the County Clerk’s office NO LATER than Thursday, October 11^th, either by mail or in person.  Registration will re-open on Thursday, November 8^th.  

Incomplete registration applications will be returned to the registrar.  Please go over each application very carefully prior to submitting it to the County Clerk.  Applications missing birthdates, ID numbers, naturalization information or signatures cannot be processed.

If someone should fail to meet the registration deadline of October 9^th, they still have another option called Grace Period.  However, this will require them to vote on the same day you register.  Grace Period Voting runs from October 10^th through November 3^rd and is only available at the Will County Clerk’s Office.

 

COLD WATER ONLY

On Monday NICOR is to come and change the service for the gas. 
This ONLY means that there may not be hot water for a bit.

Wishing Well

Someone will be dropping off a wishing well for the library. Please have them place it in the meeting room.

RECEIPTS FOR BABYSITTING CLASSES

We have 2 babysitting classes coming up that have fees of $20.

One is in Sept. and one in Nov.

 

There is a receipt book in the drawer in the northwest corner of the circ desk.  

 

I put an example page of what needs to be filled out and what to do with the receipts.

 

The receipt book has three colors (3 copies)

1. white for patron
2. yellow to be put in the folder by the cash register
3. pink stays in the book.

 

Youth Services will pick up the yellow copy of the receipts from the folder by cash register.

The money collected goes into the cash register as PROGRAM. (cash or check)

 

 

Responding to Patrons

There have been several patrons asking about the log cabin and train table. Please feel free to note that the table and house were exciting additions that were added to the library several years ago and will be replaced with fun and exciting new things in the newly remodeled space. We appreciate them using the library and they will see many neat changes coming forward. 

Patron input is always appreciated so you can always offer them to write a comment card. Things will be shifted as space constraints occur, so we appreciate their patience. J
