SUGGESTION BOX

April, 2002

1. Please purchase these movies and CDs: Backstreet Boys, Nsync, Manhunter, Drums Along the Mohawk, Last of the Mohicans, Narrow Margin, Monsters, Inc. , On the Line, Imagine (John Lennon).

We will consider these for purchase. kb

2. I would like to see a paperback collection of what the Book Discussion groups are reading. I find it interesting to know what they are reading.

We do carry copies of all the titles that have been read by our Book Discussion Groups. Not all of them are available in paperback. For a complete list of titles read by our Discussion Group, please stop by the Adult Services Desk. Watch for a "What the Book Groups are Reading" book display near the fiction department coming in June. ts

3. Coffee pot

 

4. Let’s organize a trash clean-up to remove all of the plastic, plastic and aluminum cans and other unsightly trash that can be found in the woods just south of the library building.

 

5. Truly like your display with "Favorites". How about a "Library Favorites" list, listing the most popular titles/authors.

This is a wonderful idea and we will look into implementing it as soon as possible. mc

6. I wish you had a moving walk like at the airport. It is so hard to walk up the stairs or the ramp.

 

7. Please purchase a copy of "eBranding". Thanks.

This item has been ordered. mc

8. We are new to the area and are here for the first time. We all agree that this is the most colorful, interesting and well-designed children’s section we have ever seen!! Thanks!

Welcome to the Wauconda Area Library district! We are delighted that you are enjoying your new library and hope we will see you often! JS

9. Please purchase more of the Mailbox book collections. I am a primary teacher and am grateful when the library has materials so I don’t have to buy them. Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendation. We have placed an order for more Mailbox collections. When they arrive, you’ll find them on the "new" Parent-Teacher collection shelf. JS

10. Add an outdoor library so that people could sit out and read or just do work.

 

11. You should have a popcorn machine.

 

12. I would like to buy a large "Teacher" bag. I don’t think it’s fair to discriminate.

We never thought our Teacher Book Bags would attract such an audience! While the bags are readily available through L.L. Bean, your suggestion to sell them here – in addition to our canvas tote bags – has been forwarded to the Friends of the Library. Thanks! JS

13. "Fine Woodworking" is known as the top of its genre. Six issues per year. Many local craftsmen will appreciate your adding this "zine" to your reading room.

A subscription has been made to this "zine." Issues should begin to arrive some time in July.

14. Would like two new cookbooks: Betty Crocker and Better Homes & Gardens.

We'll research the newest Betty Crocker and Better Homes & Gardens compiled cookbooks and make sure to add them to the cookbook collection! ts
