MORRISVILLE LIBRARY NEWS
by Mary Brown
We need to start off on a sad note this week -
with a note from our library director, Traci:
"For all my friends who are connected to the Morrisville
Public Library, August 29, 2002 will be my last official day
as director of the Morrisville Public Library. I resigned my
position so that I could pursue other personal and professional
goals. I want to thank each and every one of you for your support,
friendship and patronage these past three and a half years.
Being the library director was a challenge and joy to me. I
feel very close to the Morrisville Public Library community,
as well as the greater Morrisville-Eaton community, and am proud
that the library will be under a new and more generous budget
starting January 2003.
Thank you for your trust, generosity and friendship. Please
continue to support the library in this time of transition and
beyond. The staff, board and Friends will come and go, but with
continued support, the library will not! Sincerely, Traci Schuster"
We will all miss Traci a great deal. She has been a welcoming
and energizing force behind the library throughout her tenure
as director. She was a strong leader in the effort to secure
a successful vote last spring to make the library a School District
Library with increased funding. The community owes a huge thank-you
to Traci for her unending efforts to promote literacy and culture
in the local area. Many thanks, Traci and best wishes for a
bright future!
Thanks go out this week to Moors Myers who donated a filing
cabinet and several nice books to the library, and to Jean Tayntor
who donated a filing cabinet. The library is now looking for
a heavy duty hand truck for moving boxes of books and files.
If you have one in good shape, think about giving it to your
library. Thanks also this week to Barb Fogg for donating a new
DVD of "The Fellowship of the Ring."
Barb has a reminder to all those who come in and use the
library's Gates computers. She and a support technician have
had to spend several hours getting rid of a virus that had gotten
on our computers accidentally - probably from a disk inserted
by a user. Library patrons are asked NOT to use their floppy
disks brought from home in the library computers. New formatted
floppy disks are sold at the circulation desk for patrons who
wish to save personal material downloaded from Internet sites
or created by them on a public access terminal. We cannot allow
patrons to download items to the library computer hard drive,
and if a floppy disk bought at the library is then removed from
the library and used on another computer, it cannot thereafter
be brought back into the library and used on a library computer.
Floppy disks belonging to library patrons may be kept at the
library under the care of the library staff for continued use
on a public access computer.
If the heat wave has gotten you down, stop by the library
and sign out a good book to lift your spirits. Sit down with
a cold drink, your library book and enjoy!
