Please VOTE on Tuesday

February 19, 2009

Make the time on Tuesday, February 24th to vote. 9AM to 8PM at the Town Hall. Get informed on the issues related to the proposed move of the Senior Center and vote. The town website has a description of the situation. The editorial section of the most recent issue of The Irondequoit Post has letters and columns from all sides. The Post has articles describing the issues on their website as well.

Of course, all of it can be seen at the public library. Make us your headquarters for informed voting. Study the issues, talk to your neighbors and friends, and then vote. What matters the most is that we have an involved community with residents that make informed decisions about the future. Few things have more impact on the daily quality of your life than local government decisions. A large voter turnout will lend weight to the results whatever they are. What matters most is that you vote. Be part of the future. It is the way we do things in America. No excuses. Just get it done!

Support Your Library

February 16, 2009

Those 3 simple words say it all. Despite the fact that library use goes way up during times of economic distress, they often mean financial belt tightening for public libraries. The Irondequoit Public library hasn’t been spared. So, if you want to help support your library we’ve made it easy for you. Click on the Support Your Library button at the top of the library home page and multiple options for helping us are displayed.

The newest option is our Amazon.com Wish List. It works just like a bridal registry. On the Wish List are items the library would like to offer but cannot afford to purchase. If you purchase any item from the Wish list, it is shipped to the library for immediate processing. We then make it available on our shelves for borrowing. If you’d like to dedicate the item to any person or cause such as a memorial to a loved one just let us know your wishes by checking the gift options box before going to the checkout. During the checkout process, type your dedication information in the message box and we’ll do the rest. Your gift to the citizens of Irondequoit may be eligible for a tax deduction.

Thank you!
