Updates

It's a busy week or two here at the Chippewa Falls Public Library, so I thought I'd catch up:

1) Kindles--We now have a total of 11 Kindle E-book readers; nine with adult books and two with children's and young adult titles loaded on them. They can only be checked out at our library (no holds can be placed on them) and they must be returned directly to a staff member (and not put in the drops). Also, those wishing to check them out must sign an agreement showing that they have read and understand the Kindle circulation policy. It sounds like a lot, I guess, but it only takes a second. Try one out.

2) Floor-plan Changes--When you come into the library, you'll notice that the place is looking quite a bit different. The reference collection has been moved into what heretofore has been the "lounge." The plan is to use the space in front of the windows as a seating area and move the computers out of the glare. Keep an eye on it.

3) National Sewing Month--September is national sewing month. There are few hobbies more useful or impressive (when the skill is sufficient), and we have a great display of sewing skill in our entrance lobby. Stop and take a look this month!
