HPL Happenings
Jan - Feb 2017
How busy can a library get?
Pretty busy! On Saturday, 21 Jan 2017, we handled over 1200 circulation transactions – not counting online books. We were only open 4 hours, so we averaged 300 transactions per hour that day.
Over 2600 people attended programs at the library in January & February 2017.
"Once Upon a Prom" Dress Boutique
The Teens did most of the prep work and decorated. We had over 50 teens shop, and unused dresses were donated to local high schools or charities. Way to go Teens!
The children's library is the place to be!
Cruising for a spot in the parking lot
Help! I can't get to the library in time!
We hear this complaint regularly. We’d love to have more open hours, but we do have some convenience options available now:
We pull books for you! Browse online. Place holds on items in the library. We will pull the items and email you for pickup (within 2 library business days)! – If you only have five minutes at the library, you can still get the items you need.
Check out our Facebook book spotlights!
Ebooks, audiobooks & comics 24 / 7!
Book reviews and recommendations
Enjoy reviews of the newest books, and recommendations.
But I don’t know what to read next!
Take home a free “Bookpage” magazine! “Bookpage” comes out monthly, and contains reviews of books released every month. The magazine is free to our customers, while supplies last.
Browse our display shelves. We keep a selection of books from popular genres near the front of the library, and we have themed displays throughout the library.
And ask us! We can provide a bunch of recommendations for you.
