Please answer a quick four-question survey either online or at the library. You will find bookmark-shaped surveys on every floor that can be turned in at any library desk.
Everyone who responds (and includes their phone number) will be entered into a drawing to win a $50 Plymouth gift card.

New Labeling for Disney Books |
|
If you regularly bring a Disney picture book lover to the library, you will be happy to know that the Youth department is introducing new, more specific call numbers for this large collection.
Instead of just DIS, the new call number (and added spine labels) will also indicate the movie or series such as Frozen, Pooh, Cars, Fairies, etc. to help patrons and librarians more quickly find specific Disney titles.
We appreciate your patience as we work through this labeling/cataloging project, since many of these titles are checked out at any given time.
Let us know what you think about this change or if you have any questions about finding your favorites.
