Do you have legos sitting unused in your storage space? The Library would like to start doing Lego building projects and will gladly accept donations.

Maureen and Margaret show the donations patrons gave during Amnesty Week.

Thank you to all our patrons who donated items during Amnesty week at the Library.  The donations were sent to Concerns-U of Rensselaer.

Our fines policy will change January 1, 2012.  Currently, if a borrower owes more than $10, they can not use library services (checking out items, using the computer).  We are going to change the cut-off to $5.

What is staying the same?  We only charge ten cents a day for any type of item, and we give a day’s grace.  We wil charge a maximum of $10 for fines ($2 for children).  Lost items from our library can be replaced with items in new condition.  Lost items from other libraries need to be settled with the owning library, and their policies apply.
