DECEMBER DISPLAY

BE A LIBRARY ANGEL

The Green Free Library is asking you to be a "Library Angel" this holiday season. Please stop in and check out our "Angel Tree", and help support the library and the community. Thanks to major budgets cuts from the state of Pennsylvania, library resources are even tighter than usually for the upcoming year. Why not choose an ornament from the tree and purchase the book or DVD to donate to the library. Or if you choose to just donate money to purchase the item, the director will order it for you. A special book plate will be placed on the item with the donos name and they may be first to check out that item if they so desire. This would also make a great gift in someone's name for the holiday season. Thank you for your support.

THIS WEEK AT THE LIBRARY

The Green Free Library is open Monday -Thursday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Friday & Saturday from 10:00 AM-5:00 PM. It houses an extensive collection of non-fiction and fiction for all ages, as well as audio-books on three formats, VHS tapes and DVDs. Magazines and local newspapers are available for use at the library, as are public access Internet computers and free Wi-Fi for those with their own laptops.

THIS WEEK AT THE LIBRARY

There will be no Story Hour, or Knitting Club this week at The Green Free Library. The library will be closing at 5:00 PM on Wednesday, November 24, 2010, and will remain closed on Thursday and Friday. The library will open at the regular time of 10:00 AM on Saturday, November 27, 2010. The book drop will be open for book returns only. Please do not place VHS tapes, DVDs, CDs, Play-Aways or Audio-Cassettes in or on the book drop. There is an automatic $5 fine per item of this type not returned inside the library during normal hours of operation.

NEW BOOKS ADDED

Time is passing quickly! (More quickly than I am posting). Here is a list of several new books added to the collection of The Green Free Library in the beginning of the month. Several titles have been designated as Christmas (eek). A few titles are obviously Christmas related but not marked. So what's the difference? The library has a limited amount of shelf space. Christmas books are stored in the basement for several months of the year and only brought up for circulation between October and January. These titles are all marked in the catalog and with a special Christmas sticker. Some authors of popular series always include a Christmas title so most of those works are included with the regular collection. As always, if there are any questions-ASK!
