THIS WEEK AT THE LIBRARY

There will be no special events this week at The Green Free Library. Visit us during the normal Monday & Tuesday operating hours of 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM.

The library will be closing early on Wednesday November 23, 2011 at 5:00 PM, and will be closed Thursday & Friday for Thanksgiving. The library will open for regular Saturday hours 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM.

If you need to renew a book you may do so online through your my millennium account, or by leaving a message on the answering machine at 570-724-4876. Please do not e-mail, as that goes to the director and she will not be in during the holidays. Please remember that DVDs/VHS tapes and magazines may can't be renewed, nor can Audio or visual material be left in the book drop.

STILL ACCEPTING BOOKS

Rumors are circulating...Yes it is true, The Friends of The Green Free Library has "defriended" us as far as the booksale is concerned. Lack of volunteers to help with the tedious and heavy work, as well as damp storage and work space has forced the decision that there will be no Friends of The Green Free Library Annual Booksale in 2012!

But...NEVER FEAR! Library staff and the director are working on something exciting for the new year to help raise money for the library and give you a place to recycle your old books as well as a place to find new (old) books. Look for an announcement soon, and don't stop bringing in donations pf gently used books, DVDs, and CDs. Sorry, we still don't take magazines, records, or text books.

Don't forget also that all money and items donated to the library are tax deductible.

E-READER WORKSHOP

The E-Reader workshop was well attended with 37 patrons and guests of The Green Free Library coming in to learn about the different types of E-Readers and how to use the Listen to Books Website to download E-books and Audio books to their devices.

Sorry you missed it? Another workshop will be scheduled after the holidays, so check back soon. Maybe Santa will leave a new Kindle in your stocking, or a Nook under your tree!

HAPPY VETERANS DAY!

Happy Veterans Day! Don't forget to buy your poppy and wear it in support of all those who serve/served our country.

The Green Free Library is open today (Friday 11/11/11). Stop in anytime between 10:00 AM and closing. We close at 5:00 PM on Friday's for all those who haven't been kicked out at the last minute. While you're here, take a look at the WWII Veterans memorial next to the library.

Speaking Stones is a poem written by Wellsboro's own, David Bliss(WW II Vet), especially for the WW II Dedication.

The "Tree of Life" is an original work designed and created by sculptor Gareth Curtiss of Olympia, WA. A replacement for Wellsboro's long lost "World War II Honor Roll, the project was organized by the joint efforts of Betty Coolidge Frazier and Joan Spencer Hart in the late 90's. With the assistance and support of friends, family and townsfolk of the WWII vets the memorial was dedicated on November 10, 2002, and stands today to remind us of their service, "Lest We Forget".

(And TAX-DEDUCTIBLE!!)You don't have to be a member to donate and recieve the deduction, just include 2011-2012 in the memo area of your check or money order and provide a name and mailing adress for your receipt.
