Bernardsville Middle School is doing the One Book, One School program for part of their summer reading. All families at BMS were given the opportunity to purchase Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life by Wendy Mass. Many parents have opted to borrow the book rather than purchase it.

We have five copies in our system and two copies on loan from the school. It is not possible to put the school books on reserve, since all titles are attached to the same bib record. The school books do have stops on them.

When Jeremy Fink (school copy) is returned, please check the hold list for this title to give this title to next person in line then delete name from list. I realize how time consuming this is but do appreciate your help in moving everyone through the line. The three day wait still applies, just add the patron's name back on the hold list if the book is unclaimed.

Thanks again for your help!

Thank you, Michaele, for the lovely Summer Reading Kickoff Breakfast .... even though it looks a little fishy to me, Karen B.

It appears as though the filter in the YA area is not working. Be aware that porn is abundant. I cleared everything, however I could not activate the filter. I left a slip for Jim about the sites.

We do have multiple copies of many of the books on the SHSD's reading lists. We also have received copies from the schools. The BHS books will be in the center display area. To locate titles use the record set: Summer Reading 2010 BHS (school books).

BMS and Bedwell books will be shelved in J Special Collections. The titles can also be found in record sets: Summer Reading 2010 BMS (school books) & Summer Reading 2010 Bedwell (school books).

The library copies of BHS summer reading are in a record set: BHS summer reading (our books), you can use this as a quick way to find titles. I have created a record set for BMS (our books) too. The demand for Bedwell is not as fierce as BHS and BMS.

If you have any questions, just ask. It appears that this year, summer reading is very popular and more students and parents are asking early.

The LH books that are for sale are in the cubby behind the Circ desk. They are on the top shelf in the cabinet with the magazines. There is a label on the cabinet door.

Someone left an Iphone, a hotel room card and some change by one of the pod computers. I called the hotel and notified them. The phone will be with the cash envelopes in a zip lock bag.

I have missed place one of Tech Services dental tools which I use for taking new labels off of books. It was returned to me by one of the volunteer teens and I was working the desk and I put it down somewhere at the desk. Please look around for it. If I don't find it Rosalie may use one of the remaining tools on me.
Thanks
