Holiday Closing

The Sodus Community Library will be closed Labor Day weekend - Saturday, September 1st through Monday, September 3rd.  We will reopen at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, September 4th.

Have I Read That?

That's the question we are asked more than almost any other.  Now, thanks to our Evergreen update, you will be able to keep track of all the books you borrow.  Just log in to your OWWL account, click on the Account Preferences tab, click on the Search Preferences sub-tab, check the box "Keep history of checked out items?," click on the Save button, and you'll have a record of everything you borrow starting from that moment.

Check Your OWWL Bookmark

Our computer upgrade is done, and we're running pretty smoothly today.  I've heard from a couple of people that they've had problems connecting to their account.  The update may have prevented you from accessing your information over the weekend, and possibly part of yesterday.  If you're still having problems today, please check your bookmark; the correct one is

owwl.org

Just bookmark this simple address and you're ready to explore the new look and features of Evergreen.  Of course, you can always come to this blog and click on the OWWL card in the right-hand column, too.  If you have any questions, stop by or give me a call!

Program Reminder

Dream BIG - Read! participants are invited to join us for a family picnic at noon on Thursday.  Bring your own sandwich; we'll provide beverage and dessert.

Everyone, registered or not, is welcome to come to our finale program featuring magician Stephen Ingraham.  The magic starts at 12:45 Thursday.
