Round Lake Area Public Library

On Saturday, September 25, 2010, the Friends of the Round Lake Area Library is sponsoring an “Almost Autumn Market” at the library.  The Market hours are from 9am to 3 pm.

We are inviting crafters and artists, food purveyors, as well as purveyors of flowers and plants and hot food concessions.

We have 10 spaces inside, at $15.00 per space, and more than 30 spaces outside, at $10.00 per space.  There will be limited electricity available.

There is a population of 36,000 in the library district with 22,000 registered library card holders.

The Round Lake Area Library encourages community residents to contact legislators to voice your concern about a potential loss of library service.  The Round Lake Area Library provides a service to all of our residents in which we pull books from other libraries on those occasions we do not have something on our shelves that you need.  This service, called interlibrary loan, is coordinated by nine regional library systems throughout Illinois.  These systems have received ONE check from the State to operate this service since July 1, 2009.  It looks like none of these systems will receive another check in the foreseeable future, which means that by June 30, the interlibrary loan service that we provide you will either be discontinued or drastically reduced.

Blood Drive @ your library

HOPE.  A simple word yet it means so much to someone in need.  Donating blood is a simple act that helps save lives. 

In behalf of the library and the American Red Cross, I thank all the donors who came out on Tuesday, July 20.  The American Red Cross collected 29 units of blood.  Each unit has the potential to save 3-4 lives.  Special thanks to Culver’s (Grayslake) and Music Saves Lives for donor incentives. 

Elena Lara, Blood Drive Coordinator

Next blood drive September 21.  Visit www.redcrossblood.org to sign up on line.    Give Blood.  Every Drop Counts.
