1. You guys finally have a section for teens! Thank you!

Thank YOU – and thanks to our Young Adult Advisory Boards! Stay tuned – there’s more to come!

2. I suggest you get the Frank Peretti children’s series "The Cooper Kids" and "The Vertex Project".

We’ll order the series, and we’ll try to order "The Vertex Project" – can you tell us any more about this publication?

3. Re: DVDs and CDs: 1. Please get a disc cleaner. 2. Put a label on all DVDs (and CDs showing and telling how to and how not to handle discs. The past 5 out of 6 DVDs I’ve gotten from here have skipped, they have been so scratched and dirty.

We are sorry you have had problems with our DVDs. When you return items that you feel are defective, please let us know so we can clean or repair them.

4. Please buy or borrow "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken", "Planet of the Apes", "Francis the Talking Mule" series.

We have purchased or borrowed these videos for you. Thanks for the suggestions.

5. I miss picking up a copy of "Book Page", the newspaper that previewed new books. It used to be above the New Book display. Please bring it back!

We're happy to report that we have ordered a subscription to "Book Page." It should be available to patrons within the next month or so.

6. Could you please start getting the following magazines "MacAddict" "MacFormat".

These are a bit specialized for a collection as general as ours. We can get issues for you through interlibrary loan, though – just ask at the Reference Desk for further information.

7. The library needs automatic door openers, feet or eye activated. Screaming kids and fights would be eliminated!

We have large push-button door openers at the main entrance. We encourage everyone to use these. We’re not sure what you mean by your suggestion about kids.

8. This library rocks! So many books!

Thanks – there’s much more to come!

9. I think that you should have more computers and one hour and a half for each person.

We are about to double the number of Internet workstations in the Adult Services department. There will be a different set of time restrictions once the new workstations are in place.

10. Study room.

Our Quiet Study Room will soon be much more quiet – it will be complete enclosed by the end of the summer.

11. How about starting a chess club at the library? It could meet once a week or so for anyone who would like to play or learn.

It sounds like a great idea! We'll look into starting a chess club this fall. Please stop by the Adult Services Desk for more information.

12. Could you please order the books "What Baseball Means to Me" by Kurt Smith, Fantastic Fabric Folding by Rebecca Wat.

We will order these – thanks!

13. Often my family fails to pass on messages to me (example: "Your book is in.") Would you consider using e-mail to notify people?

We would be happy to email you for your holds. Just give us a call or stop in with your email address!

14. Oprah’s book of the month on CD. More books on CD in general. Many cars don’t offer cassettes and I would like to listen in the car.

Unfortunately, Oprah has ceased her book club. While she may pick a book from time to time to share with the public, her recommended list has been discontinued. As for books on CD, we plan to purchase 300 titles this year. Thanks!
