Borders Field Trip

The field trip to Borders in Orland Park was last Wednesday and those who attended had a great time! We looked around the store for about an hour and then we had beverages and treats in the cafe. YUM! Plus, everyone who came gave great suggestions to Miss Siwak and myself for materials to purchase. However, I could still use some help with the Audio-Visual materials. If there is a movie or cd that you think the library should own, let me know. You can respond to this post or you can email me at j_lowe@tplibrary.org Our fiscal year is ending soon and I would like to make one last big order in the next few weeks, so please let me know ASAP! Thanks!
