Library Closed for InventoryThe Library will be closed from Monday, November 2 through Saturday, November 7. We will reopen Monday, November 9 at 9:00 am. Beginning November 2 the library and bookmobile will be closed, but you can bet the library staff will be hard at work. Staff members and volunteers will spend a week doing an inventory of several sections of the extensive library collection. Doing an inventory of our collection on a yearly basis helps keep the collection organized, current and complete. This helps you - our library patron, by making sure that books are where they should be when you look for them, that the information and titles we have on the shelf are up to date and accurate, and that we have a wide variety of titles that encompass all areas of interest. Inventory is done every year at this time utilizing the inventory resources provided by South Central Library System. Basically, inventory is done by scanning the barcodes of every item in a collection into either portable units or our staff computers. The information is then loaded into inventory software that gives us reports of problem or missing items. After searching out the individual items, we are then able to reconcile these problems. Wow - we really are going to be hard at work! The inventory software requires that all staff computers be dedicated to inventory only so we have to ask your cooperation in understanding that no check out or hold placement or pickup will be possible during this week. Please plan accordingly. The library will reopen Monday, November 9. November HappeningsNovember is a very busy month here at the library but we made sure to save some time for fun programming.

Thank You for Being a Friend The Kilbourn Public Library will be holding its annual volunteer appreciation luncheon on Thursday, November 5. Every year the library celebrates the contributions the Friends of the Library volunteer group makes to the library. In addition to the funds they raise through their book sales and other fundraising efforts our volunteers put in lots of hours to support the library staff. In fact, the volunteers as a group work enough hours throughout the year to equal that of a full time library employee. From all the staff at the library -thank you for being a friend.

In November, the library book club will be honoring Veteran’s Day by reading The Things They Carried. This book, written by Tim O’Brien, is a collection of related stories about a platoon of American soldiers in the Vietnam War. This New York Times best-seller was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award and has been called the greatest war book ever written. This month the library book club will be meeting at the library to discuss this powerful and compelling book on Monday, November 16 at 6:30 p.m. and Wednesday, November 18 at 1:30 p.m. New members are always welcome. Copies of the book are available at the library. Join us!
