In the event that the library closes due to inclement weather, notice will be posted
Recently, I’ve had some questions concerning what federal tax forms and documents the library offers. While the IRS no longer sends us forms, we can download any form from www.irs.gov on any of the library computers and print it for you at the cost of $.25 per page. Plus, did you know that according to the “free file” page on irs.gov, if you had an annual gross income below $57,000 in 2012, you can file your federal income taxes online for FREE using one of the major tax software programs available on the IRS website. Irs.gov also has many helpful documents to help you with your taxes. Check out irs.gov today on your home computer (recommended for security purposes) or on one of the library computers.

As always, feel free to call/visit Amber at the library if you need personalized assistance.

After reviewing foot traffic data along with data from the library survey, I was able to develop a clearer picture of when people visited the library and when people said they wanted to visit the library. According to the survey data, the most requested day was Saturday, so that was a priority in the new schedule. I decided to open on Saturday and close on Monday as there was a pattern of little traffic this day. Finally, survey data reported that many residents wanted a more standardized schedule for the library that was easier to remember. I have tried to provide this in the new schedule: we open at 10am everyday; close at 7pm on the weekdays and 5pm on Saturday. Ideally, we’d be open Wednesdays as well, but our current budget will not allow for that.
As of today, links to the downloadable ebooks and audiobooks have been added to the APL library catalog. This makes searching a bit easier-you can now search our catalog to find books in all forms.
