2007-11-19 Newly Acquired items for the Monroe County Library System

NOTE:
If you’ve been reading the newspapers, you know that our budget for new materials was slashed about 20% back in January, 2007. (All departments, so we were told, were slashed the same amount.) And, all the library branch managers know that their budgets for new materials will be slashed further for this year. That’s why you haven’t seen too many Newly Acquired materials that are actually new.

Your libraries, including the Marathon branch, are mostly processing books that you’ve kindly donated to us. Thank you very much, and, we’re sorry we don’t have more new items for you.

Oh, don’t forget to have a happy and safe Thanksgiving.
