Friendly reminders
The Gadsden County Public Library staff would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for coming to the library this past year. Our circulation counts are up from the year before, as is our computer use and general attendance at library events.Just a few reminders for the coming year:
The Library computers have been set up in a certain way to grant the maximum performance for the software we have been licensed to install on the computers. For this reason we ask that no other software or programs, including chat rooms; messengers; music players; video viewers; toolbars; search engines; and games, be loaded or installed or downloaded on the computers. These do interfere with the operating of the computers. We thank you for your understanding. If there is a program you want us to have installed on the computers, please make a request in writing and we will pass it along to the County's Computer Tech department for consideration.
Our book displays are near the start of the Fiction section and the newspaper/magazine displays. Please make sure to 'check out' the "New and Notable" table, and the rotating themed display on the shelves. Currently, we are featuring "Politics" on the shelves, but after the primaries, the shelf display will revert to 'African-American Interests' for the rest of the year. PLEASE NOTE: (people have asked) these displays only represent a fraction of what we have in our collection on the subjects. Check our on-line computer catalog for your favorite authors and titles.
And if we don't have a title you need, you can request books through the InterLibrary Loan service (see Miss Ricki). ILL requests are also given to the director for consideration for purchase for our collection. You can also make a request in writing for us to carry a certain author or title if we don't have it. Oh, and if the book is available at one of our branches, we can have it sent over through our Library courier service each Tuesday for Wednesday afternoon pick-up.
Speaking of Magazines, we have added some new titles including Entertainment Weekly and Horse and Rider. Magazines are for in-Library use only, but we encourage you to take a few minutes out of your busy schedule, settle into our comfortable reading chairs and enjoy our magazine collection. Back issues for most of our titles (except the new ones, of course) for the past year are available upon request at the circulation desk. Newspapers are held for two months worth of back issues.
Food and drink (including water) are not permitted in the library. Please enjoy your refreshments before entering the Library.
If you ever have any questions about the Library, our collection, our branches, our computers, etc. Please ask in person or call your nearest branch. We are happy to be here for you in 2008!
