Please Utilize Your Library

In this time of budget cuts and layoffs, there are few certainties. If the library, including the Multicultural Collection is important to you, please continue to support it, by visiting, checking out materials and coming to programs.

The County is being forced to make difficult decisions this month that are sure to effect the library. It is our goal to maintain the quality services to which you have become accustomed. While the purchasing budget will probably be lowered, we still expect to receive new materials, even if on a smaller scale. This makes your suggestions and ideas more critical than ever. We need to know what you would like to see. Keep in mind that we will not be able to follow through with every suggestion, but we will try our best to honor as many requests as possible. Remember that the Union County Public Library does not actively pursue erotica or titles published by vanity presses (self published).

For your convenience there a couple of ways to make suggestions as to which books we buy. You can:
1. Fill out a Request/Reserve Card at the Reference or Circulation Desk.
2. Choose Suggestions on the Library Webpage (www.union.lib.nc.us)

We look forward to hearing your suggestions.
