Circulation news
Paperback exchange -- A paperback book exchange for oversized
paperbacks is now available in the Annex.
Gift certificates -- Need a gift idea? You can purchase a
one-year library card for an individual or family living outside the
library district. The library will provide a gift certificate for
presenting, and the recipient can bring it in, along with a photo ID
and proof of address, to receive their very own 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 can get them when you
return. Just stop by and let the staff know your traveling dates.
