new shelf location in DVD area--foreign films
Now that we are segregating the foreign films, I have added a shelf location of "foreign films--media area" Hopefully this will help people find them. All foreign films have a little "world" sticker on them and have the subject heading of "foreign film" and a few other permutations of that.
If you find a DVD that belongs in foreign films, no sticker, and no shelf location, no subject heading (check the bib record)--please give to me or Susan and we will fix it.
There is an item record set "foreign language films" that may be helpful too.

Paintings from Manga Workshop
A young man named Lucas left his paintings here on Friday night to dry; he will probably come back to YS to look for them, but if he asks @ circ, the folder with the paintings is propped on the wndowsill in the YS office. Thanks!

Polaris was up & down like a rollercoaster...
Polaris was up and down many times this evening, meaning that some information may have been lost by the system. If someone tells you they paid a fine on Monday and it is not reflected on their account, please assume that the error was ours.

Medical/Health resources
As discussed at the most recent staff meeting, current health info is available online while we wait for updated books on some topics. Try one or more of the following:
- http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ (great for general descriptions, support group info and more)
- http://health.nih.gov/ (the main portal for the NIH-- with links to clinical trials, health topics, articles and more)
- Don't forget our online resources. EBSCO & Facts on File have some great (and current) articles.

New magazines are missing!
Vicki has asked me to let you know that new magazines are disappearing. Some are listed as out, so please be extra-vigilant when checking out; some are listed as "in" but are nowhere to be found. Please be on the look out for the newest issues of Real Simple, Rolling Stone & Consumer Reports (circulating issue) -- all are listed as "in" but are not on the shelf.
Telephone
On Wednesday, Oct. 12, we will be switiching from Verizon to Comcast VOIP telephone service. We hope that there will be no interruption of service, but one can never be sure. If you experience any difficulties after the changeover, please inform M.E. or PKG. We'll go over general information about the change and what it means to our day-to-day operation, at the staff meeting.
Thanks, M.E.

Clarence Dillon Library Issue
Beware:
Clarence Dillon is giving free membership cards to Peapack-Gladstone residents through the end of this year. As a result, a Peapacker with a Dillon card (and no kids in the school system) came in to get a card with us. Per Rosalie, we are to give short-term Bernardsville only cards good through Dec. 31st with the statistical code - "Bedminster/Far Hills courtesy."

Indian Crafts for Sale
Mrs. Bindra has filled the display cases with Indian crafts for sale. A percentage of sales will benefit the library. If someone wants to buy something, s/he may take it immediately and I will ask Mrs. Bindra to bring something else in. Most of the items are marked with prices. If not, there are many equivalents and you can base the price on another, identical piece. A price list is also in the drawer. Items will remain in the cases until Oct. 31. In December, she will offer more things in a 5-day sale.

If you are in search of a Halloween book, we have put all the Halloween books on top of the shelves in YS, so look there first before checking the stacks themselves!
