library card.

Book clubs -- The circulation desk in the Annex collects reading
lists for all the book clubs in the area. So if you can't remember
what you read or what you are supposed to read, you're covered. Drop
off your lists at the circulation desk or e-mail April Jensen,
circulation manager, at
apriljensen4@gmail.com.
Going away on a trip? The circulation staff can put a hold on any
outstanding requests you may have so you get them when you return.
Just stop by and let the staff know your traveling dates.
