We will publish a new post when/if these issues get resolved. Please continue to manually update patron types as you encounter them *

In the past, when a patron’s age determined that they be changed to a new borrower type, this change would have to be done manually.

(e.g. – a MC patron (normally age 12 to 14) turns 15 and thus should be changed to a YA patron)

Now this change will happen automatically.  When a status change takes place, a patron’s record will display a status message concerning the change.

If the patron is now an Adult (AD), it is important that the responsible party be removed and we get a updated record including signature and state photo ID.  Note, if there are fines on the record, the responsibility lies with the responsible party.   Any amount under $10 may be waived.  Anything in excess of $10 should be referred to Zoe at County to handle collection.

If you have any questions, please call Zoe at the County Library at 984-8200.

Kenneth “Buzzy” Dawson, a VDOT Transportation Operator, brought a three-ton dump truck, snowplow and salt spreader to County Library for a special “Community Helpers” story time this week. Everyone enjoyed learning more about the big truck and getting a tour inside the cab. Ms. Diane even jumped aboard!
