What's New?

First - what we don't know. We don't know yet when we're moving. There are things to be worked out, preparations to be made. We will be moving 12,360 books, 170 music CDs, 820 DVD and VHS tapes, and 27 magazine titles with at least three years of issues of each title. Plus desks, tables, chairs, machines, shelving, supplies etc. It will be a big undertaking, even in a small library.

The first Reading is Fundamental (RIF) distribution will take place soon. Three times each school year, we give each child in grades kindergarten through fourth a free book of her or his choosing. Any books leftover from that (and we always have more RIF books in inventory) will need to be moved, also.

Our new books this week are Family by Karen Kingsbury, Hundred-Dollar Baby by Robert B. Parker and Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. We also have four DVDs on the United States Constitution.

We still need your input on audio books. Please see our blog entries of October 17 and October 20 for the link to the online survey, which is in two parts. Or you may get a paper copy of the survey in the library. Your input will be greatly appreciated.
