Happenings at the Library!
March 21, 2007 by fairfielder
Wondering about those sleek machines sitting in wait to the side of the Circulation Desk? These two new self check-out stations will be ready for public use in April! We will let you know when this new service is ready for you. This will mean less waiting time in check-out lines and more personal service when you really need it!
The very best thing about being a librarian is being able to assist someone find what they are looking for. We love sharing our thrill of finding a great read. But we can assist you well beyond the hottest bestseller. We can help you find a classic movie or an old favorite song. We can point you to programs for learning or leisure. In fact, this Wednesday our fabulous Teen Librarian will offer hands-on help for students in grade 6 through 12 to develop effective research skills. Students are invited to these 1/2 hour sessions in the Teen Room starting at 6 pm. Just click on the library website in the box to the right and sign up. Teens are also invited to join the the new Between Books - Between Readers Book Club at the Main Library from 3:30 - 4:30 pm. Why not try 2 new great Teen books - To Dance by Siena Cherson Siegel - a great graphic novel that is a memoir of the ups and downs of a dancer’s life. Mystery writer China Meiville tries her hand at young adult writing with Un Lun Dun and succeeds. This is a great choice for teens patiently waiting for the final Harry Potter book.
Drop by the Fairfield Woods Branch on Friday at 3 pm and play a board game with your friends. Students from grades 1 to 6 are welcome to participate. No need to register. Just come and enjoy!
Our last Soundwaves Concert - Straviganza with guest artist Margaret Kampmeier -will complete the series this Sunday March 25 at 3 pm.
Let us know how we can better serve you! Send us a comment and we will respond.
Self-checkout! How exciting. Can’t wait to use it. I use the self-checkout at Stop and Shop all of the time.
Yes sounds as if Fairfield is way ahaed of most libraries I have visited, should also make more staff available for other work in the library
