Local Yearbooks at EVPL...

Just this week I was helping a library user who was very grateful, but surprised to discover we had a collection of local yearbooks. Their surprise and gratitude made me wonder how many others out there aren't aware of this wonderful resource.

So for those who didn't know or have forgotten, yes, we have a very nice collection of local yearbooks in our Indiana Room at Central. Made up primarily of high school yearbooks, the collection also boasts some local college yearbooks and even a couple for elementary/middle schools. Looking at them can be a hilarious and poignant walk down memory lane as well as a handy resource for those doing research.

Now, before you rush downtown to view yourself in all your high school glory, I need to give you a couple of caveats. First, be sure the Indiana Room is open before you make the trip here (if that's the only reason you're coming to Central). The Indiana Room is only open when our Special Collections Librarian can be present to help you with your research, so be sure to check here for the Room's hours of operation.

And, the second caveat, before rushing down, you might also want to make sure we have the yearbook you're interested in. Our collection has been built from donations and unfortunately we are missing some years for all the schools. Here is the list of those books we have.

Speaking of those missing years, we're always looking to fill those holes and continue to grow the collection. If in your spring cleaning you run across an old yearbook you no longer want and wonder what to do with it, donate it to us! We'd be thrilled to have it.

Kids, we'll get your letters to the North Pole!

The EVPL has once again partnered with Santa to present this year's Letters to Santa program. Kids can write their letter to Santa & submit it online, and they'll receive a personalized response back from Santa by email! (Click here to view an actual response a child received!)

Kids, visit the Send Your Letter page to send your letter. Type in your letter, your first name, and your email address (if you don't have one, ask your parents if you can use theirs), then click the "Send Letter" button. Letters we received are gathered at Central Library, sent to the North Pole on one of Santa's reindeer (he was nice enough to let us borrow one!), then delivered directly to Santa's desk; it's much quicker than mailing a letter!

Once you've submitted your letter, you can view its progress on the View Your Response page. Using our highly-sophisticated Reindeer Tracking System™, you can see where your letter currently is and if it's made it to Santa yet!

After a day or so (depending on how busy he is!), Santa will send his response. At that time, you'll receive an email containing a link to view it!

Santa is looking forward to receiving your letter, and the EVPL is happy to assist him during this busy holiday season.

AquaBrowser, an alternative interface for searching our online catalog, will be discontinued on Monday, October 27. At that time, the Classic Catalog will be the only way to search our catalog.

We'll soon be implementing a new search interface in AquaBrowser's place. Stay tuned for more info!
