SUGGESTION BOX

 

July, 2005

 

1.  I just want to thank all the wonderful librarians for the warm, comfortable feeling they’ve made for us in the children’s section of the library.  We (my four kids and I) feel very at home here.  I’m always finding books on home schooling and autistic disorders.  We home school two of our children and there are so many great resources here!

Thank you SO MUCH for your comments.  We greatly appreciate your continued visits to the library and are glad you feel at home!  It’s great to know that our home schooling collection is being put to good use, too!

2.  Please purchase: books, My Friend Leonard, Winx Club, Dragonball Z v. 20-26, Magic Treehouse series through #34; magazines: Practical Classics & Car Restorer, Weight Watchers, Self; movies: Sinbad, Little  House on the Prairie, BeetleJuice, Yu-Gi-Oh, Gidget, White Noise, Man of the House ; CD: Vito C.

These are being considered for purchase.  Thanks for the suggestions!

3.  Thanks for the computer classes.  Hope to see more, and repeats of the ones I missed!  Also, please continue to get more books on tape (or CD) for children and adults, particularly the classics.

Thanks for your comments.  We are offering repeats of our basic hands-on Adult Computer Classes.  We are also adding some Young Adult Computer Classes about our new online databases.  We will be increasing the size of our audio book collection for adults with the addition of an online subscription to Overdrive this fall. 

4.  Suggest some means of disinfecting books.

Please talk with an Adult Services Reference Librarian about this.  If you ever have a questionable book in hand, please bring it to our attention.

5.  The Reference Librarian was a big help to me in searching for a New Yorker ad for a book, and then finding this book for me.  A fine librarian!

Thanks for the compliment!  We appreciate it.

6.  I would just like to say thank you for having such a great musical act perform at the library for free.  It was very good and I hope you continue to offer such programs in the future.  Thanks again!

Thank you!  The Adult Services Department has a fall roster of musical entertainment including Kraig Kenning, Write Blend, Bob Duda Sings Sinatra, and Lakeshore Brass.  We hope you enjoy them!

7.  I would like to thank you for all the things you do to make this library the best in Illinois.  The movies, the craft projects, the children’s activities and trips, your wide selection of books that keep us reading.  I must say, as a senior citizen, my favorite is the Cubs game.  Our family looks forward to going to this one.  I doubt my husband and I would go to a game if it wasn’t for your bus.  Keep up the good work!

Thank you VERY much for your comments!  We greatly appreciate your continued visits to the library and are glad to see you at our programs!
