Open While Closed

Submitted by Sylvia Powers [1] on Fri, 12/04/2009 - 6:06pm

  Oh my gosh!  The library just closed and you absolutely need a book, a movie, research, a legal form, a test guide, car repair instructions... and on and on.  So what's the problem?

  Closed buildings do NOT mean the library is closed. All the above items and much are available 24/7 with our online services. You can download, read, listen to or watch library materials without ever leaving your home.
  Click here [2] and you too can join the thousands of other customers using our online downloadables for books, audios (including mp3 and ipod), and films.
  Need any of these research tools?  Click on the one you want: Chilton’s Auto Repair Guides [3], computer books [4], legal forms [5] (use Thompson Gale Legal Forms), Consumer Reports [6] , languages & ESL [7], test study guides [8], literary criticism [9].
  Of course you can do the usual stuff too, such as place a request for a book, renew your books, pay fines [10] and even chat [11] live with a librarian!   The only requirement is a library card and PIN.  Don’t have one yet? Click here [12]. See you at the library, anytime!
