Holiday Cheer FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY OPEN HOUSES

IN PRAISE OF BOOKS

ANTIQUE ROADSHOW It’s time to pick through your attic, or dust off that spe-cial trinket from dear old Aunt Marie, and see what it is worth at our version of the “Antiques Roadshow” on Wednesday, February 23 from 3 - 6 p.m. at the Delaware branch.

Visitors may bring in up to two (2) items for a cost of

$5.00 each item to be ac-cessed and appraised by representatives of Garth’s Auction House. The Friends of the Delaware County District Library are hosting this spe-cial appraisal event in order to raise funds that will sup-port library programs and services.

We looking forward to seeing you and your treasures.

NEW WEBSITE TO LAUNCH IN 2011

As part of our levy campaign, we promised to improve technology services for our customers. Many of these improvements will be noticeable to the public and others will be less obvious. Overall, our patrons willbe able to work more

and money.

Over the next several months, staff will be replac-ing the adult and children’s public computers and upgrading software at all three branches. Many of our computers are currently between six to eleven years

older versions of Windows. With these replacements and upgrades, internet speeds will be faster and patrons will have access to more current programs for all of their research needs.

In February 2011, we will be making it easier for pa-trons to sign into the public computer stations through a self check-in process and create one’s own account to pay for copies and print jobs.

We’ve long offered email

available through your cell phone. Signing up is as easy as visiting the Library’s website at www.dela-warelibrary.org, clicking on “My Library Record,” then modifying your personal preference information under “View My Account.”

Keeping You Connected to the Delaware County District Library

Inspired by her passion for reading andlifetime spent in libraries, poet LillianMorrison shares one of her poems.

My old, my much used booksneed taping upneed mendingand so do I.Together we have reached the pointof entropy impending. Throughout my lifethey’ve been my faithful friends.I hold them nowin veined and wrinkled hands.They still inspire.Some, ignored for years,

They don’t require steadfastness on my partbut give and giveof their deep treasureof story, fact and feelingwhenever I might turn to them. They nurture mewhen I’m in need of healingor entertainmentor a pick-me-upwhen the brain is bored.And so I say to youmy beloved hoardresting in stacks, on shelves Thank you!Thank you for the mind adventures.Thank you for delight.Thank you for companionshipBy day, by nightAs I travelthrough the spanallotted me.
