2 October 2013 Happy Wednesday. We have had to reschedule the dates for the Library/South Community Pantry Raffle. We were not able to make the deadline for the South County News and we do want to promote the raffle so that the Pantry can get a good supply of toiletries and cleaning supplies to distribute. The new dates for the raffle will be as follow. You can begin bringing in donations and register for the raffle on Monday, October 28 and the raffle will end on Sunday, December 8. Sorry for the delay. This is the time of the year when many people want to make a donation to a charity or civic organization. Remember the Vicksburg District Library. Donations and Memorials made in memory of loved ones have enabled us to purchase a new CD spinner for our music CD's, purchase easy read and early reader books for the pre-schoolers, career books and college test preparation books for the Young Adults, and many books for the Adult books. Generous donations have enabled the Library to pay for performers for the Summer Reading program. The Library has never been busier and our funding has remained the same, your donations to the Library are greatly needed and apreciated. On the first of October the Secretary of State Express website came online. You can access it from the Library or online at www.express.sos.com. From the ExpressSOS website you can perform some of the simple and basic functions that you would ordinarily have to go to the a Secretary of States office such as: Renew or replace standard driver's license or State ID card Renew vehicle tabs Obtain a replacement vehicle title or registration Submit a change of address Join the organ donor registry and much more. If you need help using ExpressSOS you can phone: (888)SOS-MICH or (888) 767-6424 Remember the Brown Bag Book Club meets at noon on October 21. This month's book is your choice of any work by Charles Dickens. So bring your lunch and join us in the meeting room in the basement of the Library. Have a great week. John
