CHAT ROOM: <\/strong>\u201cDon\u2019t I know you from somewhere?\u201d We\u2019ve all had it happen; you\u2019ve met before, but can\u2019t remember each other\u2019s name, the where or when. Memories are shaken loose, hugs exchanged, and a happenstance meeting becomes a marathon catch-up session that ends with laughter and a promise to get together soon. <\/p>\n

This happens often as our busy lives intersect at school, soccer practice, scouts, work, church and the San Carlos Branch Library. So, we\u2019ve designated \u2014 whenever it is not in use for other activities \u2014 the refurbished Winer Family Community Room and Art Gallery as a chat room for use on just such occasions and for other times as well. Open the door, walk in, enjoy the art displays, meet with friends and make new ones, use your cell phone, read stories aloud or play games with your kids, all while enjoying the free coffee, tea, juice boxes and animal crackers (25 cents per cup placed in the Circulation Desk\u2019s donation box would be greatly appreciated). Use of the chat room to relax and enjoy the company of friends and family will enable the main library to remain a quiet\/no eating zone. We look forward to chatting with you at the library.<\/p>\n

SAN CARLOS BRANCH LIBRARY TEMPORARY CLOSURE:<\/strong> The San Carlos Branch Library will be closed from\u00a0March 9 through April 2.\u00a0<\/strong>We plan to reopen on Friday, April 3<\/strong>. Have you noticed the recent changes in the vestibule of the library by the restrooms? Even more changes are coming to make our library more accessible to our disabled community members. The long awaited ADA remodel to our restrooms, drinking fountains, door access, counters and book drops will be taking place from March 9 through April 2. We will still have the March 7 book sale. Programs scheduled during these dates have been canceled. Regularly scheduled programs will resume Friday, April 3, and\u00a0special programs will be rescheduled as the calendar permits.\u00a0Go to sancarlosfriendsofthelibrary.org<\/a> for program updates.<\/p>\n
