This Week at the Richmond Memorial Library May 18, 2020
|
For those of you who would like to return some of your library
materials, we will be opening our book drop for just this Memorial Day weekend (Friday evening, May 22, through Monday evening, May 25). We will lock the book drop again on Tuesday morning. This will give those of you who wish to return some
library materials the chance to do so while then giving us the chance to
quarantine the items that have been returned. The health and safety of
our staff and community is the highest priority and we want to take
every precaution possible. If you have library materials checked out
that you would like to keep for a while longer, please do so. We are not
asking that every item that is checked out be returned, but are instead
giving those who wish to return some items the chance to do so. We plan
on opening the book drop again the following weekend as well. As a
reminder, fines are not accruing during this time, and there is no rush
to return library materials this weekend. Please do not leave
book/material donations in the book drop at this time.

AtoZ Food America Database
|
We are pleased to announce the addition of a new database, or online
resource, to our collection. Sponsored by the Friends of the Richmond
Memorial Library, AtoZ Food America provides access to 7,000 recipes,
650 ingredient articles, vintage food labels and ads, historical what
did they eat articles, how to make food videos, and more. The resource
can be accessed by going to our website (richmondlibrary.info) and
clicking on the Online Resources tab. Check it out and let us know what
you think! And, thank you again, to the Friends of the Richmond Memorial
Library. |
Puzzles have become extremely popular during quarantine, but we know
they're hard to find. We have therefore created a digital puzzle that
our patrons can put together on their computers or tablets (the puzzle
won't work on most phones). Check out our website (richmondlibrary.info)
and click on the Digital Jigsaw Puzzles section under the Adults tab.
We will add a new puzzle each week for the next few weeks and hope to
add puzzles for children as well. You can modify the puzzle so that the
number of pieces are anywhere from 10 to 1,000. Try it out today and let
us know what you think!
