Did You
Know…

newspapers for free on Newsbank, including the Atlantic News Telegraph
from 2006 to the present, right from our homepage? All you need to login is
your patron number. Contact the library
if you need yours!
Behind My
Desk…
Well, the weather
outside was certainly frightful the past couple of days! I hope everyone stayed safe and warm! The blizzard prompted the library to close
early on Wednesday and close for the day on Thursday. It just was not in the best interest of the
staff or our patrons to try to open. We
are open our regular hours on Saturday so there is still time to get that
necessary reading material before the Christmas holiday!
Because of the
recent blizzard, I think it is also a good time to remind everyone of the
Library’s policy for bad weather and programs:
If the local
Atlantic schools cancel school for the day, the library will cancel any
programs they have on that day.
If the local
Atlantic schools have a late start for school, the library will have their
programs as scheduled.
Check the local
radio stations for cancellations or call the library @ 243-5466, ext. 1.
Since we’re going
to have that White Christmas after all, everyone please travel safely, and have
a very Merry Christmas and, as this will be my last column of 2012, Happy New
Year!
And of course, remember
to keep Thinking Libraries!
