Automation has begun ... we have a big job ahead of us. NCLS began
training personnel in March. All adult fiction and non-fiction have
been barcoded. We now move on to the children's books. We were
successful in applying and receiving the Snow Foundation Grant which
will pay for automation's initial cost.
We now carry DVD's for our patrons. Five days, two to a family at a
time - $1.00 per day fee when overdue.
We know you're busy this time of year, but take a couple of hours for
yourself and stop by the library on Saturday, Dec. 5, @ 1 p.m. for a
humorous program on "Decluttering Your Holidays!" Presented by Diane
Zielinski of Rochester, the program will look at creative ideas for
gift-giving, how to create and "let go" of traditions, and how to
simplify your holiday chores. Let THIS Christmas be one that you
actually enjoy
Our annual volunteer dinner was held Oct. 30 at the Make Sense Shop
in Pulaski at their new renovated location. If you haven't been in,
do stop in. This is a wonderful venture.
On Tuesday, Nov. 3, we held our annual Election Day Dinner at the
Williamstown American Legion. We served 243 dinners!! A lot of hard
work but one of our big fundraisers for the year.
The Williamstown Library continues to grow ... stop in and visit!!
