M ulvale said her sons, now 25 and 28, "lived at the W hite O aks Branch Library at least four days a w eek when they were small. T hey took preschool com puter program s." And for her, a stay-at-hom e m om at the tim e, the library served as a "m ental health facility," a place w here she could m eet other moms. In declaring O ctober as Library M onth, she said libraries prom ote literacy, learning and inform ation. "T he library is m uch m ore than a lending facility filled with materials. It's a place for learning in a friendly environ m ent, a place to nurture intellect," said the mayor. D uring O ctober, the library will conduct a m arket research project, by contacting 400 people at random by phone, and asking them about services, said library board chair M argaret Perschy. A fundraising cam paign will also be launched to enhance services. "R ight now w e have over 100 com puters providing pub lic Internet access at all four branches," said Perschy. "W e've adapted som e o f them for use by the visually impaired, and w e've purchased an on-line date base for our w ebsite and our com puter system s." A n on-line e-m ail reference system is to be launched soon, she continued. "People can em ail us the question right from hom e, and w e'll e-m ail the answ er." A lso new to the library collection are DVDs. To prom ote this new addition to the library shelves, a Toshiba D V D -CD Player is being given aw ay as a raffle prize. O ther prizes include book store certificates, library T-shirts, library book bags, and coffee shop gift certificates. The entry deadline is Oct. 27th, and w inners will be contacted the follow ing week. Entries are attached to a flyer listing O ctober's events at the library.
