SALON Overdrive Upgrade at 2 PM Wednesday Dec 28
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.
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.
It’s Lucy’s Birthday!
It’s Lucy’s Birthday! The Rutland Animal Shelter will be here again this year to help us celebrate. There may be some kittens here who are waiting to be adopted and maybe a puppy looking for a home. In lieu of gifts, please bring donations for the shelter: dry cat food towels blankets cat toys love We will also accept cash donations to buy kitty litter and  nutritious food  for Lucy.
Library closed today
The library will be closed today. I hope you have plenty of books, audios, videos to tide you over while we wait out this storm.
Here’s Lucy!
Bernie sent us this pic of Lucy. She looks happy and right at home but I’m sure she’s eager to see all her library friends again.
Lucy Report
From Bernie: Took Lucy home with me for the holidays to spare her the loneliness of the library. She was quiet on the ride. Got home, hissed at all my cats and hid by the dryer. I dragged her out, kicking and screaming. She’s now camping under my bed. I tried to comfort her but she charged at me hissing, growling & claws out. Her litter pan and food close by. It’s only the 1st night. It will get better.
Barb is retiring
Today will be Barb’s last day working at the Pember.  Stop in and wish her well on her second retirement! She plans to travel some and relax and, of course, read. She will still be teaching the ‘Computers for Seniors’ classes and I’m sure she’ll stop in once in a while to replenish her supply of books. Best wishes to you Barb.
