6 November 2013 The wet weather continues which makes watching a video and reading a good book great indoor activities. We have an extensive collection of movies at the Library, from classic and foreign films to new releases. The same can be said about our book collection; we have everything from classics to new releases. Remember the Raffle to Support Community Services Pantry. They are looking for toiletries like bar soap, razors, toothpaste, shampoo and such. When you bring one of these items in you get to put one entry for the prize basket. The book for the Brown Bag Classic Club are the works of Mark Twain. The club meets on the third Monday of the month at noon in the meeting room in the basement. Coffee and water are provided. We are doing a search for a new Reference/Teen librarian. Go to the link on our homepage for the qualifications and how to apply. Until we have a new Reference Librarian in place, all computer training and help classes are canceled. Those of you who are fans of Barbie, come into the library and view the collection of Barbies' from the 1980's into the 2000's. These are the theme Barbies that were issued mostly for Christmas. A reminder for everyone. We check out our videos for three days and the charge for an overdue video is $1.00 per day per item. Please look at the date due slip we put inside the jewel case when we check the video out to you. If you notice any damage to a book please mention it to the clerk when you bring it back so we can repair the book. If the book gets wet follow these steps. Place the book in a plastic bag. If you are coming to the library that day give it to the clerk, if it will be more than a day before you return it, put the book into the freezer before you return it. Coffee, cola or chocolate stains are not always repairable but we can usually salvage a book if it is only wet with water. We do not charge a patron for materials that we can repair only those items that are lost or damaged beyond repair. We can repair a wet book if it is still wet when we get it. Once the book dries we cannot repair it and, depending on the degree of damage, we will need to charge you for the book. Have a safe week and I will talk to you later. John
