We are entering a new era at the library.  Beginning January 23,  patron barcodes will be used to check out materials.  Cataloging into the koha system began last June and at this point the majority of items have been entered.  The process of updating patron information and assigning barcodes is the major effort for January.  You do not need to have internet access to check out books, but if you should want to view the catalog online visit catalog.kohavt.org where you can search for books as well as browse our stacks.  Watch for information sessions to be held at the library to get folks comfortable with using the new system, or stop by and ask Wendy for a demonstration.  As mentioned previously, the barcode identifier you receive will also allow you borrowing privileges on listenupvermont.org, a site where downloadable audios and e-books are available.  And you can also sign up for free online courses at Universal Class through the VT Dept of Libraries website.  What a great year to be a library patron!

It’s hard to believe another year has gone by, but I know that many Vermonters won’t forget this year in a long time. Our thoughts are with you.

With the holidays over, we look to the future for meaningful activity. There’s much at the Library to fit the bill. Think of all the books there! And there are even more downstairs that are for sale at bargain prices.

News about automation: the changeover from the present system should occur on January 23rd, and should make taking out items more efficient for everyone.

Whist parties in January are on the 13th and 27th both Friday nights at 7:00 p.m.

We will be showing a movie, The Help, at the Town Hall on the big screen, on January 23rd, a Monday, at 1:30 following the Senior Meal at the Rotary Building. There’s no charge, and the book, from which the movie was made, was at the top of the best-sellers list for many weeks.

The Library will also be collecting box tops for education. Find the collection box in the vestibule of the Library.

Rug braiding classes will be starting in February on the 4th and 11th, and in March on the 3rd and 10th on Saturdays from 9 to 12 in the Klock Room.

On the First Wednesday, Jan 4th, Rutland Free Library will feature film expert, Rick Winston, speaking on What Makes a Classic Film? Time is 7:00 p.m.

Now an event to look forward to in April. We have started the process with the Vermont Humanities Council to obtain the Old Country Fiddler for a program on Wednesday, April 18th. Further details will be available in future issues of this newsletter.

Also in the future, look for scheduling of book discussions; also, we can always use books for our on-going sale. No encyclopedias, magazines or text-books, musty or yellowed, torn or coverless. Thank you.
