THIS WEEK AT THE LIBRARY

School begins on Tuesday August 31, in the Wellsboro Area School District, the area serviced by The Green Free Library. If your child does not yet have a library card, know is the time to get him or her one so it is ready to check our books for AR, or research. Any PA resident with a valid PA driver’s license or Civilian ID may apply for a library card for themselves, or their children under the age of 17. Students 17 and over must bring their valid PA DL or Civilian ID. Military ID for active Military and their dependent’s is also acceptable. If you live in PA but do not have a PA driver’s license, but you OWN property bring your valid driver’s license from out of state and a real-estate tax notice or proof of payment. If you do not own property and do not have a valid PA Driver’s license you may put down a refundable $25 deposit to obtain a library card with full borrowing and Internet privileges.



Also remember that Tioga County residence must now have a valid GFL library card to access the public Internet computers. A library card number is not required to use the Wi-Fi, but a security code that is changed periodically is required, and there is no printing capability from laptops. Library computers may be used for a guaranteed period of 45 minutes, with extensions in 10- minute increments up to 3 times, if there is no one in the queue and at least one computer is free when a patrons 45 minutes are up. What does this mean? It means if you or your child are writing a paper- bring a thumb drive or CD-Rom to burn your work to if you don’t think you can finish in 45 minutes! Library staff are not responsible if your work is lost when the timer expires. You are prohibited from saving your work to the library computers hard-drive. Not only does this slow down the computers, but with the computerized sign-up system, you may not get the same computer the next time you sign-up.

Printing from the public computers is available. The cost is 10 cents per page and the printer is black and white only. Also the paper size is limited to 8 ½ X 11. Staff will insert special paper into the printer for resumes or research papers, but no card stock may be used. It is advisable to use the print-preview option when ever possible as what ever you print, you must pay for!


THURSDAY

The First Thursday Writers Group will meet Thursday, September 02 at their regular time upstairs in the library! Still waiting for them to let me know who is now in charge!

MORE NEW BOOKS ARE COMING IN

Several new titles were waiting when I returned to The Green Free Library after my time off. I am slowly catching up with all the work that didn't get done while I was off climbing the Statue of Liberty in NYC, and gorging myself on fresh lobster in the beautiful state of Maine.

PICTURES FROM THE SUMMER READING PROGAM

Please enjoy these pictures showing presenters and activities during the 2010 Summer Reading Program at The Green Free Library!

This is a quiet week at The Green Gree Library. It is a great time to just come in and read, or look at books. I am on vacation, but will be adding a list of new books soon.

The Summer areading Program is over! I will be posting pictures shortly, as soon as I recover from a wonderful trip to Maine and the Lobsterfest taken with Benedict's Bus Service.

THIS WEEK AT THE LIBRARY

Wednesday, August 3, 2010 will be the final event of The Green Free Library's Summer Reading Program. Bring a beach towel or blanket and get ready for one funtastic Beach Party! This week's program will begin at 11:00 AM instead of the usually time, and both groups will be outside (weather permitting). Food, games and prizes will be from 11:00 AM-12:00 PM, followed by the Bruce Weaver Puppet Show. Rumor has it Bruce has an all new show just for this year based on the "Make a Splash at Your Library" theme.

Thursday, August 4, 2010

The First Thursday Writers Group will meet at its usually time (6:30 PM-7:30 PM) upstairs in the library. Sadly, the group must bid farwell to its originator and instigator, Mr. Joe Keleher. Joe has accepted a new teaching position in Africa. The group will be taken over by another long-time member. Unfortunately, I only know her name is Vickie and hopefully someone from the group will give me an upate.
