1.  Do you have a meeting room? 

 

 Yes, we do, and you may reserve it for large groups.  If your group generates money in some way, there is a fee of $10 per hour.  Otherwise, it is free.  For smaller groups, the library also has a conference room in the library which is good for groups no larger than 8 or 10. 

 

2.  Does the library have things for children to do?  Storytimes or anything?

 

There is a Toddler Story Time, Starry Story Time, and of course the Summer Reading Program which goes on during summer.  In addition, the library frequently has special programs for children.  Recently the Children's Room hosted a "Snow Camp" in which children actually spent the night in the library with their parents and were treated to a myriad of stories and activities; there also was a Valentine's Day Tea for young girls, as well as an ongoing Pokeman card swap once a week.  Keep an eye for articles in the Ledger for activities, or call the Children's Librarian for more information.

 

3.  Is there anyone there who can help me look up something in a book?

 

Yes.  Talk to Jim Rubis or one of the clerks at the front desk for help.  Our Reference Librarian position has been cut due to city budget cuts.

 

4.  I'm interested in the magazine Fine Woodworking.  Does the library carry that title?

 

Yes, along with 225 other subscriptions for magazines as well.  Most magazines are able to be checked out.  The most current copies circulate for 2 days, with the exception of a few such as Time, People, Newsweek, and Forbes which stays in the library until the next issue arrives.  Older magazines may be checked out for two weeks.  There is quite a wide variety of titles available.  There is a Magazine Section in the southeast corner of the building where you can browse and choose your favorites to take home.
