Library News for July 28, 2008

The online catalog is now up and running. You may access it by going to our web site www.everetthornlibrary.org  and clicking on the “online catalog” link on the left side of the page. You may search our catalog by keyword, subject, title, author, or call number. The results will show you the number of copies we have and whether they are checked out or not. If you see something you would like to reserve, you can call the library at 968-3239 to do so.

 

Our fine free period runs through Tuesday, August 5. If you have overdue fines on your account, you can call now to have those removed. If you return overdue materials during this time, no fine will be charged. We want to help get the kids ready to check out materials they will need for schoolwork. 

 

Preschool Story Time will resume early this year. Our first session will be on Tuesday, August 12, at 10 am. Spread the word!

You will also find a link to Volunteer Voices that provides online access to images of Tennessee’s rich culture and history. For local links, we have included our Chamber of Commerce, Beech River Culture Center and Museum, and the local newspapers.
