No email notices to patrons
Just to reiterate information in Rosalie's email, until we get the email notices back we should be understanding about fines. People may say they didn't their 2 day warning or an overdue notice. Just adjust for anything after the 26th.
Rosalie or I will let you know when we have the notices back.

Story Time Room Door
According to the heating specialists, we are to keep the Story Time Room doors closed during the day and open them up at closing time to keep the heat regulated. The Story Time Room has been much warmer since we have been doing this. Thank you so much for your help in this matter!
Magazine info
In an effort to keep the NEW magazines from being checked out, barcodes will not be put on until after their next month's replacements are put out (again, without barcodes). So if a patron can't figure out why that new magazine won't scan at self check-out, you'll be able to tell them that new magazines don't circulate. Hopefully this will keep them on our shelves.

Rumors are true! Rep. Lance to hold town mtg at library this Saturday.
Congressman Lance will hold a town meeting in our Community Room from 2:30 to 4:30 pm on Saturday, January 28. Busy day: Chapter II and guide dogs in the morning; art show out from 12 to 2; and then the town meeting. Lance's assistant has been advised of our closing time and that he has to set up the chairs. I have also asked Denis D. to leave out the ones he sets up in the morning. Let me know if questions arise.

New Kids Cards @ Circ
I have placed new kids cards in the circulation drawers. The cards have a panda on them and are paperclipped to a bookmark. All children getting new library cards will get a new panda card with a bookmark. If a child would like to trade in his or her card for a new one, the charge is $1.00. :-)

Time Correction for March Program
Please note that the correct start time for "Tea & Conversation with Molly Birnbaum" on March 25 is 2:00 pm. It is incorrect in the newsletter. It is correct online and I have corrected every newsletter I could find in-house. When we get around to sign-ups, please tell people the correct time. I have a reminder in red on the registration page.
Thanks, M.E.
