Library News

Hello

    Here wer are starting 2009, we wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year! We are sorry if you came by to visit us during the Christmas Holidays and found us closed. We were actually only planning on being close from December 19 thru January 7th, but due to the ice storm which we had the week before, we closed so our dedicated volunteer librarians did not have to take a change on slipping and falling. Our first week back has been busy trying to get the e-mail and written correspondence caught up, so if you have written and not received a reply please be patient.
    The library continues to grow with new material coming about every week. So if you have not been in for a while, be sure to drop by on the days we are open and check out the new books, files, and micro film.
    We still have a number of donated items which need to be processed and shelved. However, the patrons come first and that means that the books have to wait.
    While the Library was closed several indexes were created for the article which were saved from the local newspaper, for 2007, 2008 and a number of misc. scrapbooks. The eight volumes of WWII Military Scrapbooks which belong to the Edgar County Historical SOciety and were entered in a computer database by Linda Ballard, have now been printed. This index will be placed on the shelf for use, however remeber that the Library volunteers will need a little time to get the actual scrapbook for you viewing.
    Reminder if you contact the Library by e-mail, please put the library on your list. We have tried to respond to some of you and the messages are being returned to us as not deliverable.

Linda Cary, Executive Co-Director ECGL w/AJ Brown
