This message is to inform you that OverDrive network engineers will perform an equipment upgrade to improve performance today (12/28/2011) at 2:00 PM EST. This will cause an interruption of service that could last up to two hours. We will notify you when the upgrade is complete and include the amount of time of the interruption.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
our OverDrive service
Please be patient if you are trying to use our OverDrive service to download eBooks to your eReader. So many people are trying out their new eReaders!!
We got this message from OverDrive:
Dear Library Partner,
This message is to inform you that we are experiencing extremely high traffic at some of our hosted library websites which may result in reduced performance. Our network engineers are actively working on this situation during this peak period.
We will keep you notified on any issues that may affect service.
Regards,
OverDrive Library Partner Services
Winter Hours
As a result of economic conditions, the Pember Library finds it necessary to reduce hours. We have adjusted hours to serve the maximum number of library patrons. Beginning the week after Christmas and through the winter months, we will be closed on Thursdays.
We thank you for your understanding and hope you are not inconvenienced by the reduction in hours.
The “Everybody Loves Lucy” calendar is here!
Everybody loves Lucy and we have pictures to prove it. We put together a calendar with pictures taken by our staff and patrons over the last year or so. I think we used all the photos that were sent. See the calendar at the Library.
This is a fundraiser and makes a really cool Christmas present.
