Children's Room is Closing for Renovations!

At 5 pm on July 3, the Children's Room will close its doors and will not reopen them until the renovations are complete. Don't worry, we will redistribute much of the collection through other parts of the Library and, if you need something we don't have available, we can get it from the other public libraries in Westchester County. Note: we will not be able to store library cards during the renovations, so if your card is in the Children's Room, please pick it up before July 3.

The Readathon is over. Thank you to all who participated. Find out who the top readers were by going to the Readathon page.

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.

Students will be thrilled to learn that the Library has acquired ten new reference ebooks. Titles include the Encyclopedia of World Biography, Encyclopedia of Modern Asia and Renaissance: an Encyclopedia for Students. Go to the E–reference books page and look for the label.

We've tweaked this page slightly to make access to the catalog easier. There is now a direct link to the catalog and a separate link to other useful catalogs such as White Plains just below the Online Resources. Please use eLibrarian to let us know what you think.

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.

Survey Said!

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.
