Noticed Any Changes???
The library announced recently that it had received a grant totaling more than $15,000 which would be used to purchase furniture and other display items for the children’s, teens, and adult sections. As new pieces have arrived they have been placed in their new homes. Have you noticed anything new? We will soon be having a celebration that will highlight these new improvements to your library.
Services Available to our patrons
We want to remind our patrons that your community library provides some services that hopefully help our patrons. We have a copier that will make black and white copies for a minimal fee per page. We also can fax or receive faxes. To send a fax it costs $3 for the first 5 pages and 20 cents for each additional page. We can receive faxes at a fee of 20 cents per page. We have an Ellison machine in the children’s department with an extensive collection of dies. Patrons must bring their own paper but the use of the machine is free. The librarians are willing to give a simple lesson to use this timesaving machine. It does more than just school decorations and letters! We receive many magazines and newspapers. You are free to sit in our periodicals section and read in air conditioned comfort. Magazines can be checked out for one week. A chess/checkers table is set up in the teens section (anybody can use it!) The computers in the adult and children’s side are available for free to our card holding patrons (children must have parental permission). The paintings and prints on display in the library can be checked out like a book for 90 days. The Ralph Wolfe Community Room that can be rented for reunions, showers, or other get-togethers for $35 per day. There is a $25 deposit which is returned after the key is returned. We try to serve our community in many ways.
Our Library is located in a spacious brick building at
230 N. Main St. - the corner of North Main and Walnut Sts.
Stop by if you haven’t been here for awhile and see the changes.

House too small to fit all the visiting relatives?
The Wolfe Community Room is perfect for your family get together.
The room can be rented for $35.00 for one day's use.
There is a refundable $25 deposit on keys.
Recycling Opportunity
We need used padded mailers and bubble wrap.
As we reported in our January Whistle Stop News, 2006 circulation was at an all time high. Part of that figure is due to the increasing demand we have from Interlibrary Loan requests. As this portion of our circulation continues to grow we find that we use more and more supplies.
If you have bubble wrap or used padded envelopes that you would otherwise throw away, we would be extremely grateful if you would drop these items off at the front desk. You’ll also be doing your part to recycle. Thanks!!!!
