News for September 24, 2008  

          Times continually change at the library and in the past year the library’s videos have become a popular collection.   We continually try to improve all groups of material and the video is another form of entertainment available for the patrons to borrow.   Numerous videos in VHS and DVD form are available for a one week rental at a minimal fee of $1.  We do have a few Blu-ray  DVDs for your viewing pleasure, but there is no demand for this format at this time.  Just recently we have purchased a few DVDs for the younger audience and we are waiting for their arrival so they can be cataloged and placed on the shelf.  Monster House, Nightmare Before Christmas, Sleeping Beauty, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will be arriving soon and will be readily available for the circulation shelf.

          New books also on order and will be soon available are:  Book of Lies by Brad Meltzer,  Say Goodbye by Lisa Gardner, Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession  by Anne Rice, Longing  by Beverly Lewis, and House at Sugar Beach by Helene  Cooper.

          With the young people programs continuing through the autumn months, just a reminder that children 7 years of age and younger cannot be left at the library without parent supervision.  Parents of slightly older children need to be at the library by 11:45 to check out books and pick up their children during the American Girl programs.

          Just keep in mind the following programs: the American Girl featuring Kit to be at the library next on October 4 from10 to noon, the Wednesday morning story hours continue from 10 to 11 a.m., Banned Book Week exhibit extends through October 4, the Turkey Hunting workshop is on October 9 and requires a mandatory registration and Teen Read Week from October 12 through the 18th.

          Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you recognize a mistake when you make it again. - F. P. Jones
