Library News
Remember, Two Week Limit!
Some of our patrons are
forgetting our two weeks loaning
period. Borrowing books for years,
for 3 weeks at a time, makes it hard
to remember to bring them back in
two weeks. But, remember users of
our new books; you may also keep
new books for 2 weeks. We like to
think giving an extra week on the
new books equalizes taking a week
off the old ones. We have many new
ones that have just gone on our
shelves, adult and juvenile.
You folks who like problems to
solve or any type research will be
interested in a research we had this
week on "which king in the Bible
* had the largest bed, 13' long and 6"
wide?" We called on several of our
patrons and all our library staff and
several Bibles and Bible references.
We brought old Bibles from home
' and finally found the king. The size
is listed in cubics sooo ? off we
went to research again. This we feel
is not relevant to our spiritual
needs, but is most interesting
research. We hope our patrons will
have fun looking for the answer.
If you miss some of your favorite
books from the shelves, they have
been stored. We have to get some
room on our shelves for our many
new books. Also, we will be that
much further along on our packing
to move ? that which is constantly
on our minds, as we see the new
library moving along so rapidly.
Go walk around in the new
building and imagine where you
will find your books. We have been
placing desks and other library
items in our imagination and
having lots of fun with our "great
expectations." Waiting - no such
thing. We have no time to wait. We
are almost racing, trying to get
things in order to move. It probably
seems a longer time to our patrons
than it does to us since we have so
many things to get ready. We really
afe looking forward to seeing all
our patrons there but we are asking
you to come on into our present
library, look around, register and
check out some books. We want
yiju to realize how nice the new
library will be after you have seen
this one which has been a good
library home for around 35 years
more or less.
