They're back

Guess what the science fiction books have traveled from a far far place (the lower level) back to the stacks on the first floor. The vault project is winding down so they could be moved back to where they belong. May the force be with you

What's up! Books, DVDS, CDS and Video Games

Hi
please excuse my lack of blogging entries -- we've been Sooooo busy adding tons of new materials to the adult collection, check out all the new books, videos, compact discs, and video games. We have something for everyone, from the newest New York Times Bestsellers (they may not be on the shelf) to lesser known new novels. All new books are located right next to the reference desk, so check them out who knows you may discover a new author or learn a new hobby or skill. We also have tons of new music compact discs, everything from classical to jazz to my very own favorite (the Boss) did anyone see him in concert? it was awesome.
We've also added new titles to our ever growing collection of video games. We have games for XBOX 360, Playstation 3 ; and Wii. We tend to buy games that are appropriate for all ages so check those out they are downstairs at the end of the DVDs.
Speaking of DVDs nothing on TV this weekend, we have all new movies, including Marley & Me, Quantum of Solace. We've also started to buy Blu-ray discs, they can't be played on regular DVD players but I hear they are super cool.
So don't forget to check out all new materials, and I promise to blog more often, at least I'll try to.

Barcodes are moving!

If you've checked out a new book recently (within the last week) you might have noticed that our barcodes which we always placed on the first page of the book have moved. This is a result of a new policy that the Massachusetts Regional Library System has asked all Minuteman Library Network members to use. The goal is to have all barcodes placed in a uniform part of the cover -- this will help the system move towards an automated sorting system. This will help all users with faster delivery times, it will also make it easier for staff at the circulations desk -- no more guessing where the barcode is. For libraries that have a self-checkout machine patrons will be also be able to find the barcodes easier.
This policy does not ask libraries to retrospectively convert their barcode placement this would be take too much time and also money. So anyway watch for the moving barcodes.

Vault Project

Due to the library vault project the short story and large print book collection are temporarily off limits to the public. If you need a title please let a staff member know and we'll get it for you. Sorry for any inconvenience
