June 26th Library News Round-Up
I had a few moments to look into local library news. Here’s a snippet of what I found:
+ Popular by any measure – (from Mercury News) – “More than 1 million patrons have checked out approximately 2.5 million books, compact discs, periodicals and other materials from the Santa Clara Central Park Library since it opened 14 months ago.”
+ Libraries sometimes need to reel in overdue fishing rods – (from Belleville News Democrat) – “Anyone can sometimes have an overdue library book, but an overdue fishing rod is possible only in Granite City and four other metro-east communities The Six Mile Regional Library in Granite City signed up nine months ago to get free fishing rods and reels from the Illinois Department of National Resources.”
