New Computer System for All RCLS Libraries

    The computer catalog and circulation system used by the Greenwood Lake Public

Library was updated in December 2011.

        The public access catalogs in the Library and at home have also changed. Two

new features include the ability to pay fines from home using a PayPal account,

and the ability to select a library location from which to pick up your holds.

    Also, holds on newer restricted materials such as new books and DVDs are now

only available for a home library's users. Patrons will no longer be able to go to

another library's catalog from home and place a hold on the other library's

restricted materials; nor will patrons be able to go to another library and place a

hold on the other library's restricted materials through that library's public access

computers.

    Previously, borrowing privileges were suspended when fines reach $15.00. The

new system uses $10.00 as the point at which borrowing privileges are suspended.

    Lastly, if you lose an item, pay for it and then find it, you will have 31 days to

receive a refund. After 31 days, it cannot be refunded, but, of course, the material is

yours to keep.

    We thank you for your patience with the library staff as they adapt to the new

system. If you have any questions, please contact Joan Carvajal, Library Director,

at (845) 477-8377, Ext. 103 or joan@gwllibrary.org.

A Special Request for our Local History Collections

We would be most grateful to anyone willing to donate yearbooks from Greenwood Lake Elementary and Middle Schools, and from the years that Greenwood Lake students were in Warwick, Monroe or Tuxedo High Schools. Also, we are asking for donations of the Greenwood Lake News prior to 1985. These items will be added to our Local History Reference collection for everyone to share. We will be most happy to acknowledgeyour generosity to the community in “Our Special Thanks” column of our newsletter. If you are interested in donating any of this material, please call Liz Cisek at Ext. 105 or Joan Carvajal at Ext. 103.

Family Museum Passes

Don’t forget to take advantage of the passes the Library offers to various museums – the Museum of Natural History, the Harness Racing Museum, the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum, the Paley Center for Media, the Museum at Bethel Woods, and the NYC Fire Museum.

All passes guarantee free general admission (special programs and/or exhibits may require additional costs to you). Passes are available to resident library cardholders ONLY for a 3-day period; the fine is $10.00 per day if returned late to ensure that other patrons are not left waiting for their opportunity to use the passes. The passes cannot be put on hold and patrons must come to the Library to see if they are available to be checked out. For complete details/rules, please contact Jill Cronin at Ext. 109 or 110.
