Pick up raffle tickets at the circulation desk! You get one raffle entry for each library book you read (or someone reads to you). You can keep reading until Halloween Night, Oct. 31, but be sure you have given your raffle tickets to the librarians! Winners will be drawn at 7 PM at The Haunted Library. There will be 8 winners chosen: 4 kids, 2 teens & 2 adults. Winners each receive a $10 Gift Certificate to the Galaxy Book Shop.

This will be the 17th Annual Haunted Library which will open its doors to trick-or-treaters on Halloween Night at 5 PM until 8 PM. There will be Tricks and Treats for all. This year's visitors will find themselves, "tumbling down the rabbit hole," so to speak...!

The program is co-sponsored with the Friends of the Jeudevine Library!

New Kids' Video Game Policy

We have adopted a new policy for kids playing video games. Kids are allowed a total of one-half hour on the computer unless doing homework. Kids are free to remain quietly in the library after they have their turn. Only 4 kids will be allowed on computers at a time and they will not be allowed to sit next to each other. If there are any behavior problems the child will receive a 5-minute reduction from their current computer time. In the case of especially disruptive behavior, they will be asked to leave the library. There will always be computers available for any person (child or adult) who has a need to do homework or other valid, non-video game usage of the computers. Repeated behavioral offenses will mean loss of computer use for a week. If the behavior happens again, there will be complete loss of computer use for 6 months. After that, more behavioral problems will entail complete loss of computer use.
