The Dickinson Public Library has started a Teen Advisory Group! The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 15 @ 3:30 pm. We are planning our fundriaser for May 19th. If you know an interested teen or a student club that needs service hours or need more information contact Youth Services Librarian Meghan Hollingsworth at 281-534-3812 or mhollingsworth@ci.dickinson.tx.us
Kids, you should check out the
Tumblereadables and TumbleBookLibrary
links just to the left.
Tumblereadables are on-line books for kids from
board books to books for teens. The
TumbleBookLibrary is a collection of
material for grades K to 5 including story books, read-along
books, books in Spanish, classics, and games and puzzles.
DRIVEUP BOOK RETURN
Remember if you need to return items while the
Library is closed, the drive up book drop is open on the
north
side of the building. Enter from FM 517
or the newly paved 44th Street. All
materials, books, DVD's, audiobooks, and CD's may be returned
through the drop.
Online Public Access Catalog
It's great to see that more and more of you
are using the online tools to search for materials, place holds, and renew books. The VISUAL tab of the online catalog offers a different way to search, including a “Recent Additions” box that will list the newest books, CDs, and DVDs in the catalog.
The instructions are on the opening page of the Catalog, and
here:
FIRST,
click on the Catalog link to your left.
Click on Account Log On. Then use your 14 digit barcode for your User Name (the first information required) , and your last name,
all lower case, as your password (the last information required),
to sign in.
Once you have accessed your account (My
Items), search for the book you need, and click the
title of the
book. This will open the page with the buttons to renew or
reserve the book. You can search directly from your
account without having to sign in again.
We are still in the process of editing the
patron accounts to accommodate this service, so if you have a
problem signing in, please email
adelagarza@ci.dickinson.tx.us to make corrections to
your account.
Once you have logged in to your account, you
may reserve books, but not DVDs, by
searching for the item, selecting it, and clicking reserve at
the bottom of the page. There is also a button which
allows you to renew your books (but not DVDs), and write brief
reviews.
See
you @ the Library!
