DVDs ARE HERE!

We are pleased to announce our newest collection of DVDs, which launched on June 15th. This collection is very popular, with more than half of the DVDs currently in circulation at any given time. Needless to say, we are very pleased with the positive community response and usage!

THANK YOU HOMER COMMUNITY
Through resident generosity the Homer Township Public Library received a core DVD collection of movies. Especially exciting is that two-thirds of the collection was initiated through community support and donations. Approximately 400 DVDs were donated by local residents, groups and scouts. See the article here.

STILL SEEKING DONATIONS
Do you have DVD movies that you no longer use? We encourage you to consider donating gently used or new movies, especially children's, family viewing, or classics. We will accept any and all donations! A DVD donation box and signage has been placed in the new books area (where the DVD collection is being showcased). The library operates with a tax-capped budget and finding the funding and monies to establish this new collection has been difficult. Your donation and support for this collection is greatly appreciated!

Please check your home collections for movies you no longer need and feel free to mention to your friends, clubs, scouts, or other groups that Homer Library is still seeking DVD donations. The more people that know - the better! Again if you personally have any DVDs languishing on a shelf, send them to the Homer Library or give us a call @ 708-301-1078 and we can arrange to pick them up!

Come in today and enjoy a great DVD. Yes, they are FREE.
More than ever before @ Homer Library!

Summer musings...

More Visitors!
We are an open-design, bright, and inviting library, which has heavy community usage. Easily more than 600 people come through our doors each day! They bring smiles, questions, and sometimes frustrations. For many we are the highlight of their week, a cool spot in a hot day, and a welcoming face to help them with their reading and viewing travels. We serve in many roles to our community and are happy to do so.

Some of our customers come daily to read the news or shoot the breeze. Some children have to be almost torn away when it's time to leave because they so enjoy our Kids Connect learning lab, or chatting with the other teens or librarians. When the Teen area is finished soon, it will expand opportunities for many groups to socialize with books. I grew up with a library four doors away and spent my formative years soaking it all in; there is simply no better place to be!

Enjoy your summer, take advantage of our *cool* summer reading club (Thank You to our 40 sponsors = great incentives to read!) and continue to let us know what we can do for you.
