14 August 2013

If you come into the Library over the next couple of weeks you will notice that we have a bit of a mess, and for a good reason.  The audiobook room is undergoing some remodleing and we will soon have six wi-fi stations for our patrons to use.  The wi-fi stations will have access to electrical outlets so that users can plug in their laptops instead of working off their batteries. 

On 23 September 2013 the first Brown Bag Classics Club will meet for the first time.  This book club will feature classic works in literature that many have always wanted to read but just didn't know where to start.  The first book we will read will be, "Cheaper by the Dozen" by Frank Gilbreth and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey.  It was made into a movie in the late 1940's with Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy.  It is on the light side but a good book to get started in reading of the classics.  Future books to be read will be books by Hemingway, Austen, Verne, Cooper, and so on.  Bring your lunch and book to the Library basement and we will have a good discussion.  The Library will provide coffee and water.

In the vestibule of the Library you will see the Lost & Found box next to the display case.  This is for items of clothing, tote-bags, and such.  We will keep ojbects in the box for 60 days after which they will be discarded. 

Anyone who has volunteered at the Library in the past year, there will be a reception for you at the Library on 20 August 2013 at 3:00 p.m. There will be some cake and punch served and it will last about one hour.
If you can phone in and let us know if you are coming before Monday 19 August 2013, it would be greatly appreciated.

Remember to eject the DVD from the player before returning the movie case to the Library.  Since the end of Summer Reading, we have had a couple of occassions where this has happened. 

Keep reading, it keeps your mind alert.
