THE NEW BOOK DROP IS HERE

     Yep!  It's here!  Do you know how long we've been waiting for a new book drop?  Long time!
     So, where is it? you ask. 
     If you're a user of the old book drop, you know that it was located at the back side of our parking lot.  You could come down the one-way drive behind the library, pull up to the old book drop on the lefthand side of the drive, and put your books (ONLY books) in the book drop.
     Well, the new book drop is right before where the old one was, same side of the one-way drive.  You can't miss it.  It's BIG.  And it's SILVER with blue words.  And, best of all, with this one you can put returned books AND media in the two separate slots.
     Yep, it's a double-return, meaning that patrons can return books through one slot, and movies/audiobooks through the smaller slot.  Patrons will no longer be required to turn in movies and audiobooks at the front desk of the library, because this book drop is designed to protect these materials from the elements...rain, sleet, snow, whatever.
     And here's another good thing to know.  The book drop was funded by SPLOST funds.  Our director, Holly Phillips, said it just "shows that all those pennies do add up!"
     And while I have your attention, let me tell you that work is continuing on the new roof and the new chiller.  We'll be looking for the completion by the end of February.  No more leaking ceiling tiles...no more freaky weather inside the library.
     It's going to be a "wonderful life" at the library when we reopen again January 3, 2013.  We keep making your library experience better and better.
     Be sure you make visiting your the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library more often in 2013 one of your new year resolutions.
