The End of the Year

The last few month's we have been going through the collection and getting rid of items that are old and out of date, or have not been used in a while. The subjects include: children's picture books, video's, and non-fiction. The library staff is going through the collection so that we will have room for new items that we are currently ordering. We always welcome suggestions on materials for our collections. In addition, we will be ordering 2 to 3 new movies a month, Osvaldo will have a sheet at his desk were you can add you name to the new movie you would like to see, we will be going in order and will contact you (so if you have moved or changed you number please let Osvaldo know.) We will hold the movie for 3 days only because they are new, if you miss the timeline we will add you at the bottom of the list.

Thank you

Fall

Fall is on its way; this means that the library is getting ready as well. Osvaldo has decorated the library for Halloween--when you see him give him a big "Great Job," I am sure he will appreciate it.

In addition, the library is making room for new materials--this mean that we are selling and/or giving away children's, non-fiction, and fiction books as well as, audio books on tape and VHS. If the items are not sold within the month we will be throwing them away.

Also, Leslie has finished updating the new web site take a look http://www.amargosalibrary.com/ Amargosa Library is now officially out of the dark ages.

Also, a reminder we will be closed on Friday October 29th for Nevada Day.

Have a great Halloween

New Changes

It has been a while since our last post and we have had many changes. At this time we are implementing new ideas to the library and we will continue to have changes, some good and some bad. In the next few weeks we will have a new and improved website bringing us to the 21st Century!

My name is Leslie and I will be the new director when Jean retires later this year. I have a degree in Library & Information Services from Spokane Falls, Washington, but I have lived in Nevada for four years. I love to read any book and welcome suggestions. Osvaldo is a godsend and has been keeping the library running we should all give him a big Thank You, when you see him.
