If you would like to provide suggestions or write a "Reader Review," please don't hesitate to contact me or our e-newsletter coordinator (newsletter@plattevillepubliclibrary.org).

This is where we plan to put the things that don't fit anywhere else but are making us so happy that we just have to share.
- Our library catalog had an update recently. "My account" now shows up as a separate tab instead of a pop-up. This should help those of you who check your account on a tablet or mobile device.
- Also part of our catalog update: if you had recently checked to see if your items were in transit and they were incorrectly listed as already here - this problem has been fixed.
- We put together our first newsletter and you read it all! Thank you! We'll come visit your inbox again in about a month.
