SUGGESTION BOX

 

November, 2007

 

1.  My 2nd grade class at Transfiguration loves Tumblebooks. Thank you!

We’re glad the students love Tumblebooks – we think it’s a great way to make reading even more fun!

2. DVDs: Walking with Dinosaurs, 7th Heaven, All Creatures Great & Small, Inside the Actors Studio, Peppa Pig, Redwall series, cartoons; Learning Through History magazine.

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

3. Your Circulation staff was very helpful to me!

Thank you for the nice comment.

4. Excellent presentation (Iraq in Context: a Global Society) on November 7th. My compliments for arranging the program. Would appreciate more presentations of this caliber.

Thanks for the feedback – we plan to provide more programs like this.

5. There are too many teens keeping PCs reserved while they’re not using them. This is a frustration. 1.) There is an entire floor dedicated to children, that’s where children should be. Put PCs down there for their usage. 2.) Teens should have a limit of one login, not two, per day. 3.) If someone does not claim their reservation within a specified time, it should be forfeit.

The PC Reservation system allows 10 minutes for reservations to be utilized.  If after 10 minutes the reservation is not activated, the computer will become available for use.  Teens in grades 7 and up are served by the Adult Services Department upstairs.  Please understand we can not limit computer usage by teens.  The library strives to ensure that the public has equal access to the computers.  For additional computer access during our busy times, laptops are available for checkout at the Circulation Desk and can be used for up to 2 hours anywhere in the library. 

6. We attended our first mother-daughter reading club meeting. I loved the book (Esperanza Rising) and really enjoy the opportunity for my 4th grader to learn and grow through this new experience. The book was much deeper than she’s been used to and I was glad for that choice. Thanks. Enjoyed the Reiki class also!

We are happy to learn that you and your daughter enjoyed the book club. It is our hope that the sharing of wonderful literature, accompanied by the sharing of personal insights and reflections, will make this program a pleasure for all!

7. I really need a Microsoft beginning Word class on either Thursday or Friday.

Thanks.  We will take it into consideration, but we’re at the mercy of our instructors who have additional teaching jobs. 

8. It would be great if you could have a daytime non-fiction book club.

We hope to have a daytime non-fiction book club in the coming months – please stay tuned!
