Borrow More DVDs!

Effective immediately, patrons may now borrow from our Main Library at Garnerville:

That would be a total of 15 DVDs per library card. In the Village, the "pink label new" DVDs are still limited to 4 per card.

Note: Spring Valley and Stony Point patrons cannot borrow any "pink label new" DVDs.

Weekly information classes will be held on Tuesday and Thursdays from 6 pm to 8:45 pm at the main library in Garnerville. Both classes must be attended. These classes will inform attendees of the process of becoming a citizen and give assistance with filling out the N-400 application for United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.

There will also be information about getting a waiver of the fee in cases of financial hardship. Classes will be taught by Jane Lemkin, a Literacy Volunteer. Jane has taught and assisted over 100 applicants to a successful interview and acceptance as U.S. Citizens.
