UPDATE June 13, 2013 NEW online catalog and NEW library cards!

The new Koha system is up and running and we are happy to now be part of the VOKAL (Vermont Organization of Koha Automated Libraries). This new system is now used by over 40 libraries in Vermont. When you search the catalog you will be able to see items that are owned by other libraries in the Koha system and you may discover new authors, movies, music and more!
Lynn will be able to request almost any item you find on the new catalog. But you will be able to request any Weathersfield Proctor item right from your home computer. You will also be able to make lists of items for a later date.

The next time you visit the library you will get a new plastic barcoded library card and keytag, and you will be able to keep your old library card number. Your new number will begin with the library's code (2 VSRK 00000 XXXX). Now this one card is all you need to access all library services online or at the library. A big Thank You to Sally Harris who put together the design for the card - they are beautiful!

Thank you for your patience during this transition.

Alfred Hitchcock and the Art of Suspense Friday, May 17th at 7:30 pm

A Vermont Humanities Council Event - Hitchcock famously said  "Some films are slices of life; mine are slices of cake." His career spanned forty years and many film eras. Film expert Rick Winston will discuss the evolution of Hitchcock's craft, exploring his favorite themes, his relationship with his collaborators, and his wry sense of humor no matter how grisly the subject matter. By drawing on twelve film clips, starting with his 1925 silent The Lodger and continuing through to his Hollywood classics such as Notorious and Rear Window, Winston will illuminate the arc of Hitchcock's brilliant career.
