Beat the Rush — Reserve Books & DVDs
New and upcoming books and DVDs are often listed
in the SWAN Library Catalog well before their “street date.” Lyons residents
may place reserve requests as soon as the item appears in the catalog.
Requests may be placed online (swan.mls.lib.il.us) or by calling the Library
Circulation staff (708-447-3577).
DEAD BATTERY
ALERT!!! If you have old, dead batteries, do
not simply throw them out in your garbage cans.
The Lyons Public Library has a brand new recycling program designed to help
eliminate regular household batteries from contaminating our delicate
environment.
Bring your dead batteries to the Lyons Public Library, and we will dispose
of them in
a proper and safe manner.
LAPTOP COMPUTER NOW AVAILABLE FOR
CHECK-OUT
That’s right – the Lyons Public Library now has a laptop
computer available for patrons to check-out and use within the library.
Patrons wishing to use the laptop computer within the library must be at
least 18 years of age, and have a valid library card and driver’s license
(or state ID). Just go to the circulation desk and ask a staff member if you
can check out the laptop computer. It is just that easy!
New
Library Cards
New library cards
will soon be in place at the Lyons Public Library. The new design has
the library’s new logo on the front, along with library contact
information. The hours of the library will be printed on the backs of
the cards. The new cards will also have the bar codes imbedded into
the cards, rather than on stickers. The new cards will only be for new
card holders and to replace lost cards. The new cards will not replace
cards for those who already have cards in good standing.
