Be on the look-out!
Five monkeys have escaped from one of the early literacy boxes. Be on the look-out for this raucous group and their bed.
The immediate area has been searched, however the banana eating chimps could not be found.

YS Updates
The Family Fossil Find program scheduled for Friday, 7/24 is officially closed. We will take a wait list, however, it is possible for children to attend but not make a shark tooth necklace. If parents are only interested in the making the necklace you can mention that Clarence Dillon is also offering this program. They can try to register there.
Several of the teens who were acknowledged by the Friends for their library service have received a letter from the state senator. I have called to alert the teens and parents that the letters are available in the YS area.
That is all for now!

Muffy DVD's
Heads up - the Muffy DVD's should be placed in the DVD "return" baskets so the DVD's can be filed in the binders. If they go directly onto the carts, we forget that filing process. Thanks, Anne

Very puzzling
Some one has been taking the Sunday Times crossword puzzle the last 2 or 3 weeks. From now on we have to keep the magazine at the desk as we have in the past and I will put a sign up by the newspapers that if you want the Sunday magazine you have to ask at the desk. Hopefully that will stop someone from taking the puzzle page.

Free Children's Immunizations
With the loss of a job often comes the loss of medical insurance. In case you have any inquiries on the subject, the Bernards Township Health Dept., VNA and St. James Church sponsor a monthly program for immunizations and well-baby care at no cost for children in this area without health insurance. This may become more important as the school year starts because children are required to have certain shots before attending.
There is a flyer on the main bulletin board with dates and times, as well as one in Spanish in the Spanish materials area.
We'll also hand them out in the next ESL session.
Thanks, M.E.

Book donations--please no huge donations while RB away
If a patron calls and has more than 3 boxes of donations, please encourage them to take the donations to the AAUW book sale collection that will be starting up in August at the Middle School. While I'm away, it will be hard for the book sale volunteers to handle huge numbers of donations. Also we are a recipient of some of AAUW's profits, so their sale supports us as well.
If the books are not "nearly new" looking or textbooks, or old encyclopedias, we don't want them. We just had to recycle 15 boxes of filthy, dusty moldy books. Let's give the book sale volunteers a break.

LibraryElf Problem
LibraryElf seems to be generating notices for books that our library doesn't own (and that the patron has not borrowed). When/if other patrons tell you this has occurred, you may tell them that we have no control over the service but that we have asked them to correct the problem, KB

School Books
Rosalie has placed the school reading lists on the Polaris dashboard. This information will quickly show which books are available (if they haven been moved or taken without being checked out).
Remember, it is possible to place the school books on reserve too, eventhough you cannot look them up by title. The titles are linked to the bib records Summer Reading Lists and the name of the school. If you want to place a hold, you must place an item specific hold. I know this goes against the usual procedure of placing all holds on the bib records.
