Each year the Friends of the Library send out a single request for donations. Except for occasional sales of books locally and online, all of the support they provide comes from this fund-raiser. Please send a donation to the Friends so they can continue to help us buy audiobooks and magazines, not to mention supporting programs for adults and children and many other services. Thanks!

Universal Class offers hundreds of classes on a huge range of topics. The Vermont State Department of Libraries has purchased access for all the public libraries in Vermont, including us. Register here, using your library card number: http://vermontstate.universalclass.com/register.htm Our patron numbers didn't match up to their system quite right, so you have to drop the "P" and start the number with a "2", instead. Here is a sample view:
Your current number: P567401011 _ _ _ _
To register at Universal Class: 2567401011 _ _ _ _
the last four digits are different for each person. If you don't know your number, just call or e-mail (warrenlibrary@gmavt.net) the library.

Travel Books?
Stand facing the front of the circulation desk. Turn slightly to your left and start walking diagonally towards the right hand door to the child's library. Just before the stairs, swivel to your right and you'll be facing the travel books, Dewey Decimal numbers 914 through 919.
Looking for Large Print?
We have one shelf of large print books. Stand in front of the circulation desk. Look at the librarian's desk. In front of my desk is a bookcase and on top of the bookcase is a selection of large-print books.
Where are the Foreign Language Tapes?
Not to mention the dictionaries!
When we moved to the new library I rearranged some of the library materials. I decided to integrate all of our reference books into the regular non-fiction shelves to make them easier to bump into. All of the dictionaries are now on the wall shelves in the Dewey Decimal 400s. This section also includes the thesaurus, books on idioms and specialized dictionaries: science, rhymes and foreign languages. Plus a few of those irritating books that lecture everyone on the evils of misusing the English language.
Our learning language section had been divided into two areas. All of the language tapes were in the audio section and the books on learning languages were in the 400s. We had to discard all of the audio cassette tape editions (they stopped circulating), but we did bring forward two sets on CD: French and German. Since then we've added an Italian set combo with a coursebook and 5 CDs. We have a Living Spanish set with a book and a single CD.
