Library Celebrating 1983 Renovation

New Hours for 2012! Friday hours!

The Library will be open Fridays now! From 12:30 to 4:30 you will find Sharon’s smiling face there.  Tell the Valley Brook Township board members thank you for funding this much needed and welcomed change.

The new hours will give patrons more time to come in check out books and movies, cruise the shared NExpress catalog and place holds.  The library has a courier who brings and returns items three times per week.  There is also a new service for downloading ebooks and audio books.

Library Open House August 15, 5-7 pm

Come celebrate with us at the Library the arrival of the children’s books provided by the Libri Foundation grant.  This grant provides quality books from our matching funds.  The funds came from memorial contributions for Mrs. Lucille Gilliland.  Three-hundred fifty dollars of her funds were used towards securing over 70 books and over $1000 worth of books.  We are also remembering long-time library friend and board member Mrs. Helen Wiley.  A portion of her memorial funds were used to have custom built browsing bin/bookshelves for the children’s books.  The Children’s Area also received new seating in the way of a table and chairs.

Please stop by Monday evening, August 15th from 5 to 7 pm and have some cake and honor these two remarkable ladies of our community.
