We are considering adding some security cameras to observe wi-fi stations bot on and off library property. Ideally they would be either solar or battery powered, with little to no upkeep and simple installation. Send suggestions my way!!!! -- Cindi L.

Hello Everyone, We are thinking of trying out a special needs story time for adults. I've done some research on it, but I was wondering whether any libraries out there have done this and what your experience has been. I'd be curious to hear any tips on running the program and/or on how best to market it. Thanks, Brian R. Johnston Adult Services Librarian Lincoln Township Public Library 2099 W.

ACLA's $12.5 million budget is a combination of $4.5 million in state funds, $6.7 million from RAD, along with government and foundation grants and employs 13 FTE.
