Did You Know… that this is the year for us to participate in the United States Census? The library has been partnering with the Census Bureau to help with training census workers.
Behind My Desk… This week has been a tough week. The weather has been a challenge for everyone, and we lost a special library board member, too. Luther Gillett had been on the board for 32 years. He was a special man. I knew he hadn’t been feeling well for some time, but it really hit home when I looked up from my desk and saw the empty board mailbox with Luther’s name on it. It’s funny how that reality stopped me cold. I will truly miss him.
I had to smile when we had the ice storm. The Cass County Library Association has just finished our promotion of Family Fun Night. We were promoting turning the television and the computer off and just reading with the family. Now, we didn’t suggest that you turn off the heat and electricity, too! That’s roughing it more than any of us wanted! I have a great deal of respect for our ancestors. We are wimps compared to how they would have dealt with this weather. To all the utility service people and our roads and streets crews…you are entitled to huge thank you.
Be thankful for the simple comforts of life…and Keep Thinking Libraries!

Did You Know… that the Atlantic Public Library has 24/7 free wifi?
Behind My Desk… It’s tax time again. We have some forms, but they are becoming an endangered species. Best way to get the forms you need is online at the IRS (federal) site. http://www.irs.gov/
The Iowa forms are found at http://www.iowa.gov/tax/
I know. It’s hard when you don’t have a computer nor know how to use one. The library does have public access computers, but the staff does not have tax filing expertise.
The library website will continue to have the link for the Career Library database for 2010. This site has some great information at your fingertips and you can access this from your home computer! You just need to request the username and password from the upstairs checkout desk.
Is someone in your family looking at taking the SAT or ACT examinations soon? There are practice tests available at this site as well as great information for financial aid. Maybe one of your New Year’s resolutions is to get your GED. See how well you would do by taking the practice exam!
We also are continuing to subscribe to the Tumblebooks website. I really recommend this for children of all ages!
I’ve worked long and hard to make the library website a great resource for our community. If you have Internet access at home, I encourage to you to add www.atlantic.lib.ia.us to your favorites or bookmarks. You will find all sorts of handy information right at your fingertips!
Remember to Celebrate Family Fun Night January 18th …and Keep Thinking Libraries!
