Submitted by Marsha D on Tue, 04/24/2012 - 7:22pm

May is the month to show some appreciation for the Asian-Pacific Americans who made contributions to America.  On Saturday, May 5, 2012, at 1 pm we will be celebrating at the library with crafts, fun and food, but until then here are a few  books or  DVD's to get you started. The countries of Asia and the islands of the Pacific are at your fingertips.

Tax Time

Submitted by Marsha D on Wed, 03/28/2012 - 4:18pm

To those of you like me, who take their time in figuring out their taxes, you still have the opportunity to get them done for you here at the Maud Marks Library. The AARP Volunteers are here on Mondays from 10 am - 2 pm and Fridays from 10 am - 2 pm.  They are set up in the meeting room located off the main lobby.  It is on a first come first serve basis.  Be sure to bring all the appropriate paperwork and I.D., or you won't be happy when they turn you away. Good news is they will be here through April 16th.  BUT... don't forget we are closed on Friday, April 6th for Good Friday.

February is the month for valentines and candy. No wonder it is also Dental Health Month.

InterLibrary Loans or ILL's

Submitted by Marsha D on Tue, 01/17/2012 - 8:22pm

 Is there something you have wanted to read but have not been able to find it in our HCPL catalog? The library might be able to request it for you through our Interlibrary Loan service. This service can only be used if the item is not part of our collection and it is more than six months post-publication. We will not be able to borrow music CD’s or cassettes, DVDs or VHS tapes, or software.  Also, we cannot request items from outside of the United States.  Otherwise, take a look at our ILL policy and see if we can help you find what you’ve been looking for.
