Tech Assistance @ LME Library

Did you get an ereader, tablet, or other technology for Christmas but don't know how to use it?  Bring it to the library and we will assist you with your new device(s).  We will be having a series of technology classes and drop-ins during January 2014 so be sure to stop by and see us!

In addition, Kate has created this great poster to help our patrons locate some of our local websites.  There's a lot of great information on these pages and all these links are available through the library's website at http://lmelibrary.org 

Novel Resources at LME!

Looking for help with writing a novel?  There are some materials in the Lillie M. Evans Library that can help!  We have books by several famous authors that give some insights on their writing styles.  One of my favorites, Janet Evanovich, has one called How I Write: Secrets of a Bestselling Author.  Anne Lamott has written Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life and Stephen King’s book is simply called On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft.  In addition to these, we also have Writer’s Market, MLA Handbook and Modern Library’s Writer’s Workshop.   For other titles in our collection, click on the link below:

When the Lillie M. Evans Library kicked off Food 4 Fines its Foods-4-Fines program at the Princeville Holiday Homecoming Celebration, we had no idea what to expect. From November 28th thru December 23rd, the library accepted nonperishable foods items in lieu of fines. For each item donated, the library forgave $1 of fines. 55 library patrons donated articles ranging from paper towels to canned food.  These donations brought in 340 pounds to the local food pantry and erased over $200 in fines.  There were also some without fines who wished to donate, and we gladly accepted those donations.  Thank you Princeville community for your generosity!
