Lloydminster Public Library is
celebrating Alberta Arts Days
with local author Kelsey Friesen
(aka Kelsey Greye) on Saturday,
October 1 at 2:00pm in the Ken
Burke meeting room.
K e l s e y
will
talk
about
her
published
novel, The
P u r s u i t
of
Miss
Charlotte Edwards, her recently
finished novel and give us
a sneak peek of her work in
progress.
Alberta Arts Days began as
a one-day event to recognize
the value of Alberta's arts and
cultural communities. It has
expanded into a vibrant, three
day, province-wide celebration
that has helped inspire the
creation of Culture Days- a panCanadian movement to raise
the awareness, accessibility,
participation and engagement
of all Canadians in the arts
and cultural life of their
communities.

Renovati on P r o j e c t U p d a t e
The Library looks a little bit different when you walk in these days.
Actually it looks a lot different.
The Library closed for four days
at the end of July so that we could
do some renovations and rearrange a few collections and service points.
At the end of those four days we
were tired but satisfied with all we
had accomplished.
The Picture Book collection now
occupies the space formerly used
by Circulation staff. Children's fiction, nonfiction and videos/dvds
are next to the Picture Books.
A kid's washroom, complete with
change table, is now located in
the Picture Book area for use by
families with young children.
So if you haven't seen the changes, please stop by. And visit our
website to see pictures of the
renovations.
Paperbacks were moved next to
the Just Arrived section as were
the audiobooks.
And the Checkout Desk? It has
returned to the place it originally
occupied when the Library moved
to Atrium Centre.
Sel f-check h a s a r r i v e d a t t he L ib ra ry
This summer's renovations paved
the way for the installation of two
self-check units across from the
Checkout Desk.
Only books and magazines can
be checked out at these stations
for now. Anyone wishing to borrow
audiobooks or video materials
must still have it done by Library
staff at the Checkout Desk.
Library users wishing to bypass
lineups at the Checkout Desk and
those who like to "do it themselves"
now have the opportunity to do
so.
Staff will continue to check out
materials for anyone who does
not wish to use self-check.
The process is simple and the
self-check station automatically
prints out a slip listing the items
checked out.
