Important Notice
Those items that are on display either in the display cabinets, grids or in the gallery on the wall are not to be removed (without prior arrangements) except by Gretchen, as representative of the library, for security and logistical reasons. There are release forms to be signed and procedures to follow. Please refer anyone who would like to retrieve, remove, or add items to a display to Gretchen (or if necessary the History Room staff). It is also perfectly fine to refer folks who are curious about displays or the items in the displays to Gretchen.

FYI
Be alert! Four cell phones have been stolen at Headquarters in the last month. Do not leave your electronic devices out in the open in public areas. Do not leave your electronic devices out in the open in unoccupied offices/staff areas. It only takes a few seconds for someone to pick up your cell phone and walk away with it. Cell phones left in view are easy targets for thieves.

The benevolence snacks have been moved to the sorting room on the desk in front of the sink.

TLC will be running an upgrade to LS2Staff and LS2Pac after we close on Monday November 9th.

We received our first Silent Auction donation from Sherri Jefferies. A homemade, hand-crafted cake to take home with you on Thursday, December 3rd.  We need your donations to make this a successful event.

From Erika
As most of you know, this Friday, November 13th, is my last day here at RPL. I am thankful for all of the staff who made my almost 8 years here a wonderful and loving journey. RPL has been a great place to work and the people here are tremendous assets to Rowan County. While I am sad to leave you, I do look forward to being able to spend an extra 2 hours a day with my family. I will miss you all and I plan to keep in touch. Feel free to reach out to me for anything, or if you are in Greensboro, visit me at the Central Library.

I’ll miss you all, Erika
