One of the biggest surprises to me at the end of 2011 was that our circulation of physical books had not decreased, in fact, it grew.  Our digital items, what you can take out from our Overdrive service, were being taken out at a rate 5 times higher than the previous year. While seeing this trend, I assumed at some point we would see fewer hardcover books go out the door. I assumed incorrectly...

Kill Alex Cross by James Patterson

kuillcross.jpgPresident's son and daughter are abducted, and Detective Alex Cross is one of the first on the scene. But someone very high-up is using the FBI, Secret Service, and CIA to keep him off the case and in the dark. A deadly contagion in the water supply cripples half of the capital, and Alex discovers that someone may be about to unleash the most devastating attack the United States has ever experienced. As his window for solving both crimes narrows, Alex makes a desperate decision that goes against everything he believes--one that may alter the fate of the entire country. Kill Alex Cross is faster, more exciting, and more tightly wound than any Alex Cross thriller James Patterson has ever written!

This past fall was one of the busiest in the library's history. Not only did we see an increase in circulation, but also in computer usage and program attendance. More of our friends and neighbors were coming in the door than ever before. In part this was due to the weather, and the damage it did to our local infrastructure. We had several first-time patrons, as well as some returning patrons, who were surprised and relieved about the services we provided during the power outage.

It has been an extremely busy summer for the Pawling Library. We could not have done it without the help of contributors and volunteers. Several young men and women volunteered their time to assist in making numerous changes to the library and its collection.  They took what should have taken 6 months and finished it in 2. I have been involved in similar projects, some using professional companies, and I have to say that our volunteers did one of the best jobs I have ever seen.

You may have already noticed a big change in the layout of the library. We moved the orientation of the front shelves for several reasons, but most importantly to accommodate the members of our community who use walkers, strollers, and wheelchairs. This is also a great way to feature new books and staff-picked displays. 

As part of the project, we have shifted some of the collection, making more room on the shelves so material is easier to find and return. Mysteries again have their own section, and the Young Adult collection has more room to grow. We’ve also carved out space for additional seating, arranged in a way that creates quiet zones for the public. New furniture will be paid for in part by our friends at the Pawling Library Foundation. 

Another exciting change is our new library cards. These sturdy cards are not only “Pawling Library” branded so you can show your town pride, but also come with a handy key tag so you no longer need to fumble around in your wallet. Using your library card for transactions drastically reduces clerical errors and wait time. As part of the American Library Associations “Library Card Sign Up Month” we will be giving replacement cards out free until the end of the September. 
For those who use our Wifi and public computers, you may notice an increase in speed. The library expanded its bandwidth several times our original connection speed. This service was provided for free by Comcast as part of the Town’s agreement with the company. We have seen an increase in Wifi use and we love it. One of our goals is to be the technology hub of the community, and we will be providing computer classes come September (see the back of the news letter). 
Generous contributions have also helped give the outside of the library a bit of a facelift. George Apap Painting volunteered to touch up our exteriors. Doctor Coulter provided beautiful brick foundations for our outside seating, and the Pawling Library Foundation covered the cost of our new bike racks. Steve Martin has kept us cool inside, donating time to service our AC system. 
The staff is very grateful for the generosity we’ve received from the community. We are excited about the changes, and hope the public will be too. If you can’t find your “regular” sections, please come to the desk and we will be happy to show you. Let us know what you think; these changes are part of the growing process that we want you involved in.

Yours, 
Scott C. Jarzombek
