Subject: RE: [Ortonville Library Blog] New comment on February Fund Raiser.
I am sorry you are having difficulty with the website for our automated system. The new card will automatically assume the same PIN as your previous card. If you cannot remember your PIN number you used previously, contact us and we will erase the old PIN number off of your record. We do NOT have access to your PIN number so, therefore, cannot give you your PIN Number. On the Pioneerland website you can go to My Record to set up your PIN Number. You will need to enter your library card number and a PIN number of your choosing. You will be asked to reenter the PIN and then it should be set up for you.As far as no voice mail available during our Off hours, that is one of the decisions made when the old answering machine failed about 6 years ago not to replace. The reason being, many messages were left that did not pertain to library matters, and therefore, took valuable time to listen to. Two staff members have been cut in the past six years. There is no time to listen to non library related matters each time we open. We feel we do the best we can with the limted funds we have been given by the City and County to operate. We are available until 8 p.m. four nights a week and are here until 3 p.m. on Saturday. These hours should give EVERY patron sufficient time to contact us in person if they need to. Additionally if you do have concerns about our library hours, etc., please contace your city council and county commissioners about our funding. We do have staff email available at ortonv@ortonville.lib.mn.us or my business email is vickig@ortonville.lib.mn.us. These are checked daily for any questions or problems that patrons are having and need to be resolved. Thank you for your comments and if you need additional help with your PIN , please contact us. As you chose to do this anonymously, I cannot go in and delete your previous PIN number so you can create a new one. Vicki Grimli

February Fund Raiser
The Ortonville Library will be having a fun fund raiser on Saturday, February 2, 2008. The fund raiser will start at 10:00 a.m. and go until 1:00 p.m. We will be working with distributors of Tupperware, Home Interiors and Tastefully Simple to provide you an opportunity to purchase items for yourself and at the same time, raise money for the library. Come by the library and purchase some great items and support the library.
Adult Winter Reading Program
The Adult Winter Reading Program is underway for 2008. The program will run for 13 weeks, ending on April 5, 2008. The theme this year is "A Reading Winterland". All you need to do is come into the library and sign up for the program. You need to set yourself a goal as to how many books you will read during these 13 weeks. If you reach your goal, you will receive one of our 2008 coffee mugs with the theme printed on them. We also have weekly drawings. When you finish reading a book, return it to the library, and sign up for the drawing that week. The local businesses have been very generous again with donating prizes. The program is open to the first 75 people to sign up. Happy Reading in 2008!
