There were an abundance of books on meditation and creative visualization as well, areas of personal interest. One of our volunteers was thrilled because she is interested in religion and reincarnation-two other areas that were well represented in the donated books. Things have settled down considerably this past week. If you have been intending to get an Internet lesson or learn how to get a free email account, now is a great time to call and make an appointment. It's also a good time to catch up on the nearly 600 new books we bought this Summer.
Theft is a sad fact of life in every Library.
In smaller Libraries like ours, with no security gates and no fines, it is often significant and very distressing. Few things turn Librarians into potential Jack Nicholson clones like people who steal or refuse to return books. We have even had a problem with the theft of 1999 issues of Consumer Reports, the one magazine that you, our patrons, use the most. This is why you now will find the more recent issues behind the desk. If the preceding paragraph made you a bit guilty, take heart.
