KALAMAZOO RIVER WILDLIFE CLEAN-UP SUPPLY DRIVE
The EPA has set up a collection center in Marshall for items used in cleaning up the wildlife affected by the recent oil spill on the Kalamazoo River. We will also be collecting locally, here at the library, throughout August. Things needed are sheets & pillowcases, towels, paper towel, duct tape, and cardboard boxes. Drop donations off anytime. Leave them on the front porch if we are closed!
CALLING ALL LIBRARY CUSTOMERS ... There is a "patron satisfaction survey" available at the check-out desk. Would you please take a few moments of your time to fill one out? We want to know what you think, the good stuff, of course, and what we can do to make your library even better. We appreciate your input!

INTERLIBRARY LOAN IS BACK !! It's official! We are now part of MeLCat, the statewide catalogue and sharing system. As a patron in good standing, you can now access the catalogue and request to borrow books from other libraries right from your home computer. Simply go to mel.org (the Michigan ELibrary website) and click on the link to MeLCat. It will take you directly to a search page where you can begin browsing for the titles you want. Or, your can access the search page directly at http://elibrary.mel.org/search. When you find what you are looking for, look for "GET THIS FOR ME" and click on it. The system will then want to know what library you are from (we are listed under Augusta-Ross Township) and then your name and patron ID (your library account #). That's it! If the item is available, you should get a message immediately that it has been ordered. You will get an email and/or phone call when your item has arrived at our library! WE ARE STILL HAPPY TO ORDER THINGS FOR YOU RIGHT FROM THE LIBRARY, so give us a call if you need at 731-4000.
