Survey Results- Thank you for participating!
Ricker Memorial Library and Community House
Survey Summary
First, the Trustees and Library Staff wish to thank everyone who filled out our survey. The results were almost entirely positive and are helpful in our understanding of how the community views Ricker Library.
Person to Person Potluck Suppers
The February Person to Person Potluck Supper will be held on the FIRST Sunday instead of the second Sunday since the second Sunday is a holiday. It also will be at 5:00, instead of 6:00, due to prior commitments of our entertainers.
Yes- the Library will come to your Daycare!
As a courtesy to all the daycares in the Poland area, one of our volunteers, Suzie Stover, will come to your daycare and do a Storytime! This Storytime includes the reading of several stories appropriate for the preschool age and a craft also appropriate for the preschool age. If you are interested in having Suzie come to your daycare, either for a single visit, or on a regular basis, please call us at 998-4390. This service is only offered from September to June, and is not available during July and August.
Monday Mysteries Book Discussion
March Book Discussion: Any title by Donald E. Westlake.
If you love mysteries, and enjoy discussing the books you read, then join us on the first Monday of every month at 2:00 PM. We pick one book per month to discuss and then at the end of every meeting we pick a new one to read. You don't have to buy the book we choose, just call the library or come in and sign up. We will then call you when a copy of the book is available. We hope to see you soon!

Library Board Meetings
The next Library Board Meeting will be February 22, 2010.
The Library Board Meetings are a time when the library Trustees meet and deal with the business side of the library. These meetings are open to the public and all are welcome to attend. If you have a complaint, a suggestion, or if you just want to know how the library works, then we would encourage you to attend our Board Meetings. The Board Meetings are held at the library on the fourth Monday of every month, at 6:30 PM.
Like Art?
Do you like art? Do you like a variety of art? Maybe you like art, but, like many of us, can't afford to continually buy new pieces? If that's so, then the library has the answer! Thanks to the generous donations of many people, the library has several pieces of art available for two week loan. Yes, they go out just like books!
Kill-A-Watt Energy Detector
Ricker Library now has Kill-A-Watt Energy Detectors available for loan. These wonderful little devices can be used to determine how much energy the electronic devices in your house are using. In essence: IT WILL HELP YOU KNOW HOW YOU CAN CUT YOUR ELECTRIC BILL AND SAVE MONEY! We have two Kill-A-Watt Energy Detectors and they are available for a one week loan. They must be returned in one week. There is a $1 fee for every day they are overdue.
