Organization Central

Entertainment Central is finally full of, well, entertainment. Kathy, Gail and Jerry (Gail's husband) showed up early Sunday morning to shift everything inside of the new area. We're still trying to get everything in just the right place, but I think its looking good.

Now we have a lot more room for movies and music, so hopefully you'll have a better chance of finding what you came in for. Also, TV shows on DVD have been put in their own section! I love TV on DVD, so this couldn't be a more welcome change. Stop by and check it out, we're still waiting on a few shelving units and a catalog computer to go in, but it won't look much different than it does now.

Celebrating the Heart of the Library

We woke up bright and early today to serve up some breakfast to our amazing group of volunteers. Every year we try to honor them and give back a small portion of what they give us by having a breakfast in their honor.


We had lots of fruit and a delicious egg bake which really hit the spot. We also chose two "Volunteers of the year" which is always hard because they all do such a tremendous job. This year we honored Carol Israel and Blanche Tate.


Without our volunteers the library wouldn't be able to function as well as it does. From shelving to covering books to indexing newspapers and more, the volunteers really are the heart of the library.

Notaries At MPL

About two weeks ago I sold my car. I loved that thing, my friends and I nicknamed it "Lil' Teal." But after the manifold went bad and I needed a bit more money to fund my impending marriage, I decided the time had come to part ways. I found an old roommate and good friend to take the car, so I could still see him now and again. We settled on a fair price and then realized we needed a notary to make it official.

This all happened at about 7 pm on a weekday, so we couldn't go to a bank or car dealership. Then, I remembered that we had a notary at the library, where I work. I rarely have the chance to be a regular patron here at MPL, but on this occasion was very glad there are 3 certified notaries working here. After a quick and painless couple of minutes my friend and I were headed home, her in Lil' Teal and me with freshly lined pockets. Thanks Gail!

So if you're in need of a notary at an odd time, check the library. We have three, and there's a good chance one will be here. Maybe give a call beforehand, just in case.

See ya later Lil' Teal!
