Hello Everyone, Do you have a policy regarding discs missing from DVD sets or audiobooks when they are returned? If you never get them back, do you charge the patron for the entire item or just the one disc? If so, how much do you charge and where do you get your replacement discs from? Please email me if you have such a policy or procedure in place. Thanks, Brian R. Johnston Head of Public Services Lincoln Township Public Library 2099 W.

by Jennifer Hassell 25 Oct '18

Has anyone done a hands on workshop covering how to handle some basic household needs? Draining your outdoor faucets for winter, cleaning gutters, hanging pictures, changing an air filter on a furnace.... I'd like to reach out to a local business if possible but more importantly I would like someone who can comfortably present and teach. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
