Exhibits, Adult and Children's Schedules
Please note the library will be closed Friday, July 3rd through Sunday, July 5th. You can search for items or renew items by using the online catalog or you can renew 24/7 by phone (674-4169). For renewals you will need your library card number.
Kids, you might as well get it over with. We've already got the Summer Reading List books for grades 6 through 12 set aside for you on the Book Group Shelf in the Reference Room. Some popular titles are sure to be gone, so ask the Reference Librarian for help getting the book from another library. Jump start your summer reading now. Who knows? You might enjoy it.
Late fines increase for the first time in 20+ years! As of June 1, the fines for overdue adult books, magazines, audiobooks and cds will go from 10¢ to 20¢. Children's books, magazines, audiobooks and cds will also go up from 5¢ to 10¢. Fines for videos, dvds and Express books will remain the same. If you need items beyond the due dates, to avoid fines you may renew online, by phone 24/7 (674-4169), or in person.
The Great Paper Airplane Contest was a great success with 22 pilots and very few disastrous crashes. We have prepared a spreadsheet of all the flights which is available here.
Look for some exciting titles for the youngest of readers in the Larchmont Public Library. Thanks to a grant from State Senator Suzi Oppenheimer, the library was able to buy more than 600 new titles, including easy readers, picture books and board books. This grant also led to an enhancement of the Rhythm and Rhyme program for babies and toddlers, with multiple copies of board books purchased for one-on-one sharing.
Do you know about the plans for the Children's Room renovation? Go to the aptly named Children's Room Renovation page to learn why we're doing this, who is involved, what is involved and how you can help. We've also created a blog (http://larchmontkids.blogspot.com), where you can keep track of the latest developments. Go to the blog to see some preliminary drawings.
Don't be shy. If you are having problems with the new catalog system, let us know. We can't get the system to fix problems unless we know about them. You can email us at larchmontlibrary@hotmail.com, use the eLibrarian page, or call us at 834-2281 (ask for reference).
The Friends of the Larchmont Public Library have launched their Magazine Sponsorship Program. Help support the Library's periodical collection by donating the cost of a subscription. We have prepared a list of our subscriptions and their approximate cost.
Approximately 8% of the households in our service area responded to our survey. You can view the results using three methods: as a web page (requires Internet Explorer); as a PowerPoint presentation (requires PowerPoint); or as a .pdf file (requires Acrobat Reader).
If you don't have Microsoft's PowerPoint, you can use OpenOffice's Presentation. OpenOffice is a free suite of programs available for download at www.openoffice.org. Acrobat Reader is free download from www.adobe.com.
