Did You
Know…
WILBOR now has a renewal option? Users will be able to renew a borrowed title
if no other users are on hold for that title. The renew option becomes
available on a user's Bookshelf three days before the title is scheduled to
expire. Users may only renew a title one time.
Behind My
Desk…
It’s coming!
The semi-annual Friends of the Library book sale will be held on Friday,
November 1st, 11:00-5:00 and Saturday, November 2nd, 9:30-12:00. If you have books to donate, now is the time
to bring them in, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Please no textbooks or encyclopedias. Please also consider the condition of the
book before donating it. Nothing dirty,
musty, or moldy. Once again, there will
be a lot of books for sale but you will want to come early for the best
selection!
I know this may be hard to believe but
planning is already underway for next year’s Summer Reading Program. This year’s theme for elementary age students
is “Fizz, Boom, Read” and for teenagers it is “Spark a Reaction”. I don’t know about you but I sense an overall
science theme! Julie will be attending
a workshop on the 29th and I’m sure she’ll leave with lots of ideas
for fun events and activities for next summer!
We have a display of young adult and teen
books upstairs in honor of Teen Read Week, October 13-19, but I would encourage
all you adults to consider trying one, too.
Some of the best writing is happening in young adult fiction these
days. I know I’m a fan. Give it try.
You might like it!
I’d also like to remind anyone who missed our
first meeting that “Booked for Lunch” returns on October 22nd at
12:30. Bring your lunch and come talk
about the books you’ve been reading.
It’s a good time! I promise!
Enjoy this fall weather and … Keep thinking
libraries!
