WARM THOUGHTS FROM THE LONGTON PUBLIC LIBRARY<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0The weather has been keeping everybody indoors and it sounds like we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not done yet.\u00c2\u00a0 A lot of folks have been stopping in to check out some books to read on these really cold winter nights. \u00c2\u00a0Doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t that sound nice?\u00c2\u00a0 All cozied up at home, mug of hot chocolate on the table beside you, maybe some warm cookies and a great book in your hands.\u00c2\u00a0 That is my kind of day!\u00c2\u00a0 If it sounds like you too, then come check us out and check out the newer books on our shelves or our rotation books from the South East Kansas Library System.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0If books aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t your thing, then maybe you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to check out a movie.\u00c2\u00a0 Remember they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re free and you get to keep them for one week.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0We are going to have to start charging fines on overdue or lost or damaged books.\u00c2\u00a0 The rule has been in place for a long time now, but we have not ever really enforced it much.\u00c2\u00a0 Please just be aware, if you have items checked out, there will be a fine on them if they are late being returned.\u00c2\u00a0 If you have any overdue items right now, please return them ASAP and we may be able to waive your fees for one time only.\u00c2\u00a0 If you cannot find the book or do not turn it in at all, you will be charged the amount of the book.\u00c2\u00a0 If the item(s) are still not returned or paid for, by law, you could be charged with theft and have to go to court, and we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want that for anyone in our community.\u00c2\u00a0 So please remember to return things on time.\u00c2\u00a0 You CAN renew items over the phone by calling us, or sending us an email at longtonbooks@yahoo.com<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
