Inside this issue: From the Desk of the Library Director Adult Programs 2 Youth Programs 3 Where did that hold come from? Library Services 4 The Glen Carbon Centennial Library is part of a much larger system that Reader’s Advisory 5 includes over 400 libraries connected by the library catalog. Different libraries have different vendors that they may purchase their items from. Current Occasionally, an item will be released in multiple forms, each with its own Calendar of Events 6 record in the catalog. One of the best examples of this is movies that may Upcoming be released as DVDs, Blu-Rays, Blu-Ray/DVD combos, 4K/Blu-Ray/DVD Calendar of Events combos, and the like. Another example could be a book that is released in 7 hardcover and trade paperback at the same time, or a movie tie-in to a About Us 8 previously released book. When we find that our patrons have placed holds on formats that we will not be receiving, we will often place another hold on the item that we will be receiving. These holds are then linked "You pierce my soul. I am half through the library's side of the catalog. We do this because we want our agony. Half hope. Tell me not patrons to receive the items that they are requesting as soon as possible. that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever."
