I’m writing this article on Day 1 of the Library being in the Graham Community Building. So far, we’ve had at least a dozen patrons find us here amidst the chaos of our move.
The biggest confusion so far is where are doors are. We’re in the banquet hall room that you get to through the doors in the alley. We should have signs and banners soon to make navigating much easier.
The Pryor Area Arts and Humanities Council is through the front doors. They’re worth checking out too!
Our materials should be totally shelved when you get here. They start with picture books in the first shelving unit and get progressively more advanced as you travel West. Our dvds and audiobooks separate the Youth Services collection from the Adult collection and then we have large print followed by adult nonfiction and adult fiction.
Because our collection in this location is so much smaller, we’ve changed the number of items you can have checked out. Unless you’re checking out picture books or paperbacks, you’re limited to five items on your card at a time. Two of those items can be DVDs and two of those items can be audiobooks. Our limits for picture books and paperbacks stay at 20 total.
We have three patron laptops set up and ready for use. Their interface is as close to the one in the other building as I could make it and they print to the same printer/copier that you’re used to. Prices remain $0.15 for a black & white print and $0.50 for a color print.
We brought our microfilm to the Graham Building, so if you’re in the midst of research involving old newspapers, you can pick up where you left off.
We changed our hours when we moved over here. Now, we’re open 51 hours a week instead of 43. Those hours are:
Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri – 9:00 am to 6:00 pm
Thurs – 9:00 am to 8:00 pm
Sat – 9:00 am to 1:00 pm
