A great place to
read the paper, chat with friends, find a book
to read or do homework, research that place mentioned in your
Bible Study, take a quiet
moment for yourself....
If you would like to visit the library at any other time besides normal operating hours and the door is locked, please have someone in the office open it for you.
 To check out a book
or item,
write your name on the card in the back of the book or item and leave the card on the desk. The item is due back in 2 weeks.
We will count from the day we pick up the card.
If you choose a
paperback off the shelf
in the middle of the
room(under the Audiobooks) that
doesn't have a card in it,
that's because those are
swap books.
You can take it, keep it,
bring it back or bring a
different one to replace it
if you want. "Freebies," in
other words. Sometimes we
send them to missionaries or
exchange them for other
titles at Hall Book Exchange.
If you are interested in joining the Guild, please call Julie Hartley
at 770-983-9652. We will train you! We meet about every other month and you are only required to put in two hours of work per month other than meeting times and work shifts.

How You can Help
There are many ways you
can help Webster Library keep new books and
audio/visual items on the shelves
1. Memorial and honorariums in monetary gifts
designated to Webster Library
2. Book Donations: Books you no longer want or
need can be brought by the library. We will sort
into several categories:
a. Books to keep for our shelves
b. Books best exchanged for credit at Hall Book exchange (mainly
Christian Fiction)
c. Books best offered to Eagle Ranch for their library. (Easy and
Juvenile fiction and nonfiction)
d. Books we want to keep for a book sale later on. (yes we will
have a sale this year!)
3. Credit from Hall Book Exchange: If you take
books to Hall Book Exchange and get credit but
you use part or none of it, you can give the
credit receipt to Julie Hartley to use to
purchase books for the library.
4. Amazon Wish List: For those of you who want
to give something tangible as a memorial or
honor or even to “pay off” late fees!
5. Pay late fees. 5¢ per items per day, honor
system. Let your conscience be your guide. We
were spending too much time calculating late
fees so we stopped, but most people still pay
what they feel they owe.
6. Recommendations: Let us know about new books
or items you would like to see in Webster: Books
that you’ve read, books you want to read, books
you would like as reference for Sunday School or
Bible Studies, or perhaps books you are required
to read for school. Good family movie titles are
also appreciated!

Book Review
Upon the
recommendation of my sister, Lane, in
Augusta, I just finished 2 books by Patricia
Sprinkle. All of her books except the
latest one are paperbacks so I had not
planned on putting them in Webster Library.
However, when I looked on Amazon, I realized
these books are quite popular and hard to
find in New condition for a decent price.
The two books
I have finished are Who invited the Dead
Man? and A Mystery Bred in Buckhead. Both
far exceeded my expectations. They were
both light reading but good stories. I had
trouble putting them down, reading far into
the night to gain more clues. Each of the
above books are from different series. I am
checking local used bookstores for more of
Sprinkle's books. However, my best source
is all of you! So if you have Patricia
Sprinkle books you are willing to donate,
leave me a note in the library. I have a
couple of others so let me know what you
have so I don't duplicate.

WEBSTER NEWS
We are now processing a large collection of
children/juvenile Audiobooks on CD
as gifts honoring our Sunday School teachers. We
hope that you will take special care of these
audiobooks as they are more costly to replace
than books. If everyone will put them in a safe
place at home so they won’t get crushed, keep
all packaging together and intact, and keep CDs
in their cases when not in use, these sets will
last a long time.
Among the collection are—
Junie B. Jones series
Ramona the Pest series
A Wrinkle in Time
A Wind in the Door
A Swiftly Tilting Planet
Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing
Double Fudge, Super Fudge
Rumplestiltskin
Fudge A Mania
Magic Tree House books 1-24
The Cat in the Hat
and other stories
Berenstain Bears stories
Tell Me a Story folktales
Hank the Cowdog partial series
Lilly’s Big Day
and other stories
Bible Stories for Growing Kids
Arthur Celebrity Hero Stories
The Velveteen Rabbit
Three Billy Goats Gruff
The Three little Pigs
Also, several items are still overdue. Please
return your items so that others may
enjoy them as well. And we are missing the DVD
from the Clifford the Big Red Dog
movie case. If you have it, please return it to
the library as soon as possible.
