Did you know you can request books, audiobooks, and movies online? To request an item through the library's website, search for the item you want and click "Request First Available Copy." You will need your library card number and your PIN. If you are unsure what your PIN is, ask a librarian. New cardholders may not reserve on-line until one week after their card is issued.
You will be notified when the item is available for you, but you can always check your account if you just can't wait for our phone call/mailing. If the item is ready it will say it's on hold for you and you can come and pick it up. If you call us ahead of time (at least half an hour) you can even pick up your books through our drive through window and not have to walk in the cold!
These services and more are available to all library card holders. If you don't have a library card, get one today! What are you waiting for?

Database Highlight--EBSCO MasterFILE Select
Imagine if you had access to enormous quantities of articles from magazines, journals and newspapers, all from your home computer – and only a mouse click away.
You do! The East Greenbush Community Library provides access to a number of databases
that you can use at home, for free, via the library’s website. This month, we will highlight one - EBSCO Master FILE Select.
This database digitizes articles from over 2,000 magazines and journals in a wide spectrum of subject areas. It allows you to search this enormous digital library by topic. It then allows you to access, read, and print out articles from your home computer.
Say your daughter has to write a research paper on any current topic, or you want to search consumer magazines for timely reviews of electronic products. EBSCO MasterFILE Select has it all – and it’s current, authoritative, and reliable.
So, why not just use Google? Because the content of EBSCO MasterFILE Select is unique to that database and cannot be found on Internet search engines like Google!
How can you bring this information power (as well as other useful databases) into your home? Go to the library's research/reference page. When you choose your database, you will be prompted to enter your library card number. Do that, and the world is at your fingertips! Available on our computers at the library as well.
For help using your library databases, call the Reference Desk at 477-7476, ext. 102.

Friends Book Sale
Final totals for the Fall Sale show that the Friends raised $14,400 in cash and $6,600 in direct acquisitions bringing the total value of the sale to $20,600. For the year 2006, the book sales raised over $40,000 in money and direct acquisitions for a new record.
For that achievement, we thank our community for their donations and purchases that made these sales possible. We are, as always, grateful to the staff of the library for their help and cooperation in accepting the many donations. We also thank our more than 70 volunteers who worked so hard and so often to make the sales so successful. We wish to single out those whose multiple efforts were crucial to our effort. These include but are certainly not limited to: Betty Guigno, Pat Cronin, Barbara Maxom, Paul Dillon, and Richard Karis. Special thanks to Nancy Bell for recruiting so many volunteers and to Chase Pugliese for essential publicity.
Our Spring Book Sale this year is scheduled for May 2, 3, 4, & 5.
This sale will not include children’s books. At the request of the community, we will hold a special children’s book sale in September. This will allow more space for parents and children to join the hunt for bargains. More information will be forthcoming on this new children’s sale.

KidSearch
The Upper Hudson Library System has updated the cataloging software that we use to search for books. There are still some issues that need to be worked out, most notably with the KidSearch function that allows you to limit your searches to just the juvenile section. Hopefully UHLS will have this fixed within the coming weeks. In the meantime, you can still do a search in the general catalog. Go to the library's website and search the entire library catalog.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
