Have you seen all the commotion at the new library building over the last few weeks? We have been busy moving from our old building (which has faithfully served all of our community for 46 years), into our new building. In fact, we had a great crew of volunteers helping us make this transition. October 4th, 5th, & 6th were our big moving days when most of the contents of the library changed buildings. In addition to the groups who came in and helped with the move, we want to recognize our regular group of volunteers who have been helping at the library on an on-going basis. They have mended books, done shelving and labeling, and helped with the huge task of adding the new security tags to each item in the library. We want to tell all of our wonderful volunteers “THANK YOU!!” We rely on these hard-working helpers for many projects. They do an amazing job!
Please remember that we will be closed for a few more weeks as we finish moving and getting everything ready for the Grand Opening. While we remain closed, all the items that you currently have checked out keep the regular loan periods. Our drive up book drop in the new library building is now open, and you may return any materials there. You may also renew items online here at our website www.springvillelibrary.org. If you haven’t tried accessing your account online, give it a try. On our homepage, type in your library card number (the long number under the barcode on your library card) and pin (usually the last four digits of your phone number). It is a great way to see what you have out and renew and reserve items also. While we are closed, you will be able to place holds on books and fill out inter-library loan requests as usual. These requests will be processed one week before we reopen on October 29th and can be picked up at the new library during the Grand Opening (or shortly thereafter, depending on availability).
If you currently have a library card, rest assured that this card will still work at the new library. If you don’t have a card and are interested in getting one, go back to our homepage at www.springvillelibrary.org. In the left-hand column, there is a tab entitled “apply for a library card”. Fill this short form out and then when we reopen, bring in photo ID and proof of Springville address (examples include a utility bill, a post office delivered envelope, mortgage or lease document, bank statement, etc) to finish the process and pick up your card.
