IT'S BOOK SALE TIME!


When our storage closet gets full, it is time to schedule a book sale.  This one, a Friends of the Library Book Sale, will begin on Monday, October 2, and will last throughout the month. As always, hardbacks are 50 cents; paperbacks are 25 cents; and DVDs/videos/audio books are $1.00 each. This will be our last book sale of the year and we will happily accept donations all month.


SIGN UP FOR OUR NEXT TECHNOLOGY TRAINING CLASS!

We received a technology training grant from the Tennessee State Library and Archives this spring. Our classes are offered on a monthly basis and are free to the public. So far, we have held classes on Microsoft Word and Excel. We also plan to offer a class on resume writing, how to set up an e-mail account, how to set up a Facebook account, and how to negotiate the PhotoShop program. We also plan to revisit basic programs like Microsoft Word during the course of the grant term. Let us know what you would like to learn. Remember, this is YOUR tax dollars at work and we are happy to hear from our community's residents. Call us at 989-4673 with your suggestions.

Leah Shull, teacher at Chester County Junior High, will present a class on how to use Google Docs, which is creating and editing documents online. The class will be Thursday, October 26, at 6:00 pm. Please call the library at 989-4673 or come by to sign up because space is limited.

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HELP4TN?

www.help4tn.org is a new website that will help find legal and social service resources in Tennessee.  Topics such as bankruptcy, divorce, domestic violence, juvenile court issues, etc. may be researched on the site.  If you would rather talk with a person, you may call 211 to find the same resources.


WHAT IS THE BOOK CLUB READING?   

 The Brown Bag Book Club will meet on Wednesday, October 11 at noon to discuss Commonwealth by Ann Patchett. November's book will be In the Unlikely Event by Judy Blume. Join us!

IMPRESSIVE STATISTICS

 Recently, the Hatchie River Regional Library released the circulation report for the 2016-17 fiscal year.  Our little library checked out over 35,000 books (and about 20,000 other library materials)!  To those who feel that books will soon be a thing of the past due to electronic devices, we at the Chester County Library beg to differ.  We are certainly a community of readers.
