Vermont Reads 2015

 Q/W Libraries is again participating in  Vermont Reads, a statewide community reading program sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council.  With a grant of 50 copies of the 2015 selection, Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie, a series of multi-generation programs will be offered.

A book discussion will be held at  the Quechee Library on Tuesday, March 31, at 5:30 p.m. 
Come for the conversation and some delightful Indian refreshments.

Watch for “storycorps @ your library” soon as we encourage some inter-generation interviews to capture the stories of our times and place.

The series began with the life streaming of Salmon Rushdie’s speech in Burlington: What’s the Use of Stories That Aren’t Even True  which will be pertinent throughout the programs.

Copies of the book are available for borrowing and sharing.

Mystery Monday @ 4

On the first Monday of each Monday, a group of devoted mystery readers meets to discuss an author of the genre.  The April  13 discussion will focus on Walter Moseley.  Titles for borrowing are on display and new participants are always welcome to join the conversation upstairs at the Quechee Library.  Meet Easy Rawlins and Fearless Jones this spring.

Needleworkers Unite

Needleworkers get together Tuesday evenings at the Quechee and Wilder Libraries to talk and share interests, skills and advice.  The (new) Wilder group meets from 5 p.m. until 9 and welcomes new participants at every level.  The Quechee gathering has ended for this winter (in hopes of encouraging spring).  Email info@quecheelibrary.org for more information.   Watch this site for weather cancellations.

OneCard!

Onecard-patron

What: The OneCard is a project of Upper Valley Vermont libraries to allow patrons to use their home library card to borrow materials directly from any participating library.  Patrons receive the card according to home library requirements but are subject to borrowing regulations of loaning libraries.   Where:  Participating libraries are: Quechee, Wilder, Hartford, Hartland, Norwich, Fairlee, Bradford, Corinth, Chelsea, Windsor and Ascutney.         Who: Adult patrons (17 and over) of Quechee and Wilder Libraries with a minimum 3 month borrowing history in good standing.   How: Stop in at Q/W libraries to get the OneCard sticker for your library card. Show your library card at any of the participating libraries to check out materials from that library. Each library has its own policies about borrowing so make sure to ask before you check out. Continue to request interlibrary loan from the Q/W libraries and place your holds through us.

VOKAL & What that means for Catalog Use

In April  the Quechee/Wilder Libraries become one of nearly 50 Vermont libraries in the VOKAL consortium, sharing a catalog and circulation system called Koha.

All libraries in our town of Hartford will now be on the same system and all residents can more readily access all the collections, use their patron cards at any Hartford Library and/or request that books be brought from one site to another. The easiest way to initiate these transfers as well as regular inter-library loan requests and reserves is to simply use the familiar online shopping method : a cart! Access your patron account, search for a title, click the “add to cart” link. When your cart is ready, click on the green cart button and then hit “send”. For details on this process, stop in for a new Digital Resources guide sheet or email us at info@quecheelibrary to have one sent.

An advantage of VOKAL is that patrons can see items from all the member libraries. Remember that the staff can still borrow for you from all Vermont libraries; continue to just ask for what you don’t see. Search QW Libraries first and always click on the title to see availability and locations. Remember too that titles come in various editions and there is no particular order. Scrolling to find the local copies will always speed things along. For full instructions on catalog and digital resources use, click here
