BML Summer Newsletter - Bellmore Memorial Library
SUMMER NEWSLETTER BORROW A LAPTOP Looking for a truly quiet place to work online? Look no further. BML now loans laptops for use in the Library. Work on Office Suite programs, WinWay Resume builder, search the internet and print wirelessly from anywhere in the Library, including the Reading Room. Borrowers must have a Bellmore Memorial Library Card, and sign a waiver accepting responsibility for the laptop while it is in their possession. Inquire at the Reference or Circulation Desk, for more information. READING ROOM “There’s no quiet place to study in this Library!” This is the most common complaint I have heard in the five years I have been at the Bellmore Memorial Library. After completing the conversion of the compact storage room to our new Meeting Room, we have finally have come up with a solution to that COMPUTER problem. We moved the AREA Help Desk staff out to the Reference Desk and moved the public computers out between the Teen Zone and the adult fiction collection. This makes it easier for staff to assist patrons with computer issues. We then moved some leather chairs and more work tables into what had been the “Quiet Study Area,” and designated it a “silent texting only” Reading Room. We set up tables JUNE—AUGUST 2016 LIBRARY HOURS Monday………………. Tuesday……………… Wednesday…………… Thursday……………... Friday……….………... Saturday*…..………… Sunday*…...………….. 9:30am-9:00pm 9:30am-9:00pm 10:30am-9:00pm 9:30am-9:00pm 9:30am-5:30pm 9:30am-5:00pm 1:00pm-5:00pm * SUMMER WEEKEND HOURS We will be open 9:30am - 1:30pm on Saturdays and CLOSED on Sundays from June 19 - September 4. and chairs in the Community Room so that tutors, who must converse with their students, have a place to work if all the tables in the adult area are taken. This leaves the Reading Room an island of quiet in an increasingly noisy world. If you want to use the BML’s computers, but want to work in silence, we have laptops for Bellmore cardholders to borrow for use inside the building. There is still a good bit of work to be done, including more comfortable seating and task lighting, but we can offer our patrons a truly quiet place to work. Enjoy! - Maureen Garvey, Library Director DIY ENGRAVING Did you know that the Library has an engraving tool that you can borrow? Ask at the Circulation Desk if you want to mark your prized possessions indelibly. DID YOU LOSE YOUR LIBRARY CARD? FOR A LIMITED TIME, YOU CAN REPLACE YOUR CARD FOR FREE!
