SUGGESTION BOX

 

January, 2008

 

1.  Have a spelling bee for adults. I went to Buffalo Grove to see one and it was so much fun!

What a fun idea!  We will certainly look into hosting a bee at the library.

2. Please purchase: DVDS: The Beach, Word World DVDs,Wire season 3, Law and Order, Law and Order SVU, Veronica Mars season 3,Jet Lie-War, The Kingdom, Death Sentence White Noise, The Light, Sunshine; CDs: Strangers in the Night by UFO, Saffire the Uppity Blues Women,

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

3. Please start an adult knitting group.

You asked and we listened – due to numerous requests for an adult knitting group, we will be starting one in the near future.  Please watch the Focus newsletter for more information.

4. This library is too hot! Do you realize that that is what makes people sick and spreads viruses? It’s ridiculous!

We generally keep the temperature of the building set at 68 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, so that most people are comfortable.  Broad fluctuations in the temperature outside will sometimes affect the indoor temperature until there is time for the furnace or air conditioner to adjust.  Unfortunately, it is impossible to please everyone all the time with respect to temperature, as much as we would like to.

5. A fair amount of the songs on the CD “Totally Hits, vol. 2” are inappropriate for young children that use the downstairs (Children’s Dept.) area of the library. Not what young children should hear.

This CD is currently under evaluation by the Children’s Services staff.

6. After inquiring about Reactive Attachment Disorder, I was told in the Children’s Dept. that “very little” was available but that the Children’s Librarian would research and find articles. A day later I returned to find a packet with a research paper waiting for me along with some Interlibrary Loan resources!! Your librarian REALLY took the initiative in finding these for me. Nice work!!

We are happy to hear that you were pleased with not only with the resources about RAD but also with the service you received.  Thanks for the kind words!
