Pre-Overdue Notice of Library Items by E-mail

In an effort to help busy people renew their library items the Kasson Public Library announces a new service that helps you avoid overdue fees. The library e-mails a two day pre-notice of library items due.

Make sure the library has your current e-mail address so that you receive notice before your items are due and then you can renew online, in person, or by phone.

A reminder for renewing online make sure you do not have a fine(s), or an expired card, if either one of these conditions are present you will not be able to renew. Easy to fix-pay your fine(s) or call in and we can renew your card (every three years cards need to be renewed.)

If you have any question please call us and we will answer youtr questions and help walk you through the process the first time.

Your Three Most Memorable Moments of 2008

Now that January is almost over, I want to hear three moments from 2008 that were your most memorable. What made them so special? And is there anything you can do to make more memories of that kind in 2009?

Here’s my list of 2008’s Top Three:
1. My parents 60th wedding anniversary.
2. Annual vacation in February with my family in Texas.

3. Planting my large perennial flower garden.

It’s your turn! Take a moment to reflect on what made 2008 a pleasure for you. Either way, I hope we all find ways to make 2009 memorable in all the right ways.
