Teen Gaming Saturday is tomorrow! Join us from 1-4pm while we play board games, card games and video games. We will also be hosting a Magic: the Gathering tournament sponsored by Phoenix Fire. Program is open to anyone grades 6-12.
Beginning the evening of Sunday, January 20th, and continuing into Monday, the 21st, the database for our catalog will be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance. During this time you will be unable to access your account, including the ability to perform catalog searches, place holds, and renew items. While this is an inconvenience, the work being done will increase the speed and efficiency of the catalog, as well as its long-term reliability. Thank you in advance for your patience.
The Meridian Library will again this year provide printed tax forms for our patrons. As of now, the only federal tax form available in print for tax year 2012 is the 1040EZ. We do not know when the print versions of the 1040 or the 1040A forms will be released. The federal forms are available in .pdf format from the website of the Internal Revenue Service (1040, 1040A--these links provide the forms only; search www.irs.gov for instructions and schedules). We do have the printed state of Idaho forms.
The Meridian Library at Cherry Lane now has a Twitter feed! Follow us along with our Silverstone branch and the Bookmobile to get news on programs for all ages, news on upcoming events, and whatever else seems appropriate.
Bring in your eReader this Friday and learn how to download books from the library website! Walk-ins welcome!
The Meridian Library at Silverstone is currently registering families for the Every Child Ready to Read program. Every Child Ready to Read is a free program for families with children ages 0-6. Participants will learn how to foster their child's future reading success by learning and applying the six early literacy skills. Join us for three free, fun one-hour workshops that will help you maximize your child's reading success. It's never too early to start!
Did you know that all three Meridian Library locations now offer a variety of video games for you to check out? Stop by and browse our selection of games for Nintendo DS, Wii, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. You can also browse and place holds on these video games in the online catalog by searching the gaming console. For example, if you want games for the Wii, try typing "Nintendo Wii" into the search box at the top left of this window. Click the [Search] button under the drop-down menu that reads "Enterprise Catalog".
Interested in getting help downloading books from the library to your personal eReader? Curious about what type of eReader to buy? Stop in Friday at 10 am and the Meridian Library will have several types of devices for you to operate and see how they download books from the library website!
