News

We do hope that everyone is enjoying the fall-ish weather! I know that I love sleeping without the noise of fans trying to bring in some cooler night air.


In the last two weeks, the librarians’ office has undergone a small transformation! In other words, those piles of issues and repairs are no longer towering over Gloria’s head, threatening her with concussion and contusions. We have repaired books, researched problems, and cleaned up many of the issues. It is good to feel safe from falling stacks of paper!

We do have one request to ask of you. If you would please check the shelves in your office and at home for any of the Information Center’s books, we would sincerely appreciate it. We have ~30 missing items; some of these were last seen before we joined NSIDC. Later this week, Gloria will post a list of the missing items to the Bulletin Board. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Staff Report


Allaina is out of the office this week and will return on the 15th. Gloria will be out of the office for a few days the following week.

Reminder

Please don’t loan any library item to someone else. If someone needs it, return it and let them check it out. Remember, according to policy, if an item you checked out is lost, you have to replace it. Check here for our policies on replacing lost or damaged items, as well as who can check out books.

Thanks to everyone who donates to the library’s candy fund!
