Library Board Meets Thursday

Time to Advocate for Libraries
The proposed 2009-10 State budget cuts library aid by $18 million, or 18% on top of the cuts imposed in April and August of 2008. This would reduce Library Aid to $80.5 million - a level not seen since 1993. This proposed cut comes at a time when all of our libraries are busier than ever, offering free access to computers and the Internet and providing educational and recreational materials and programming. The ever-expanding services required by our patrons call for more funding, not less! Please click on the image below to send a fax or email to your state legislators and the Governor protesting the proposed cut. You can make a difference by letting them know that you value libraries and the services they provide.

Rock Painting Classes Scheduled

This just in from Shirley Patchett:
"Want to paint rocks? It's that time of the year to try new things, get out of the house and enjoy the company of others. If you'd like to learn to paint whimsical rock houses, we have just the solution. Join our rock painting group. Paints and brushes are provided; you simply need to provide the rock that you can turn into a house. Flat rocks will do or, in a pinch, a brick. We'll meet on Wednesday afternoons starting January 28th from 1:00 until 3:00."
To register for these classes or for more information, stop by or call the Library.

Another Happy Patron

"This morning I had an email from the library robot clerk ( that's what I call it) reminding me that I had two items due back on Sunday. Wow! That is so cool! No more late DVDs, books or audio books for me! If you want that kind of service, make sure the library has your email address. You can select all kinds of reminders by going to www.pls-net.org, selecting My Account and going from there. Come on. Do it right now! You will be thrilled! Regards, Antje - totally plugged into the digital world."
We're so pleased to be able to offer this service to our patrons. Take Antje's advice, and check to be sure we have your correct email address. It's a really painless (and free!) way to simplify this area of your life.
