Winter Fun at PDL

 The holiday season is upon us once more, and there are many festivities taking place at Portland District Library:

• our Character Quest scavenger hunt, wherein patrons of all ages can search the library for secret messages from beloved children's book characters;
  
  
• the Holiday Prize Wheel Extravaganza, where every patron can spin our prize wheel and win a neat little something at the Circulation Desk;
  
  
• our Holiday Fill-a-Bag Book Sale, where visitors can fill a grocery bag with our used books, DVDs, puzzles, and more for only $2 a bag;
  
  
• the Wish Tree, where you can help fulfil a holiday wish (and keep a lovely tree ornament, to boot!);
  
  
• our annual Fine Forgiveness Week, taking place December 19th through the 23rd;
  
  
• and so much more!

Also, be on the lookout for our Winter Reading Program(s), kicking off this Saturday, December 17th and lasting until January 28th!

MeLCat is Good to Go!

Those who are familiar with the Michigan eLibrary, or MeL, may be aware that we've been unable to directly connect new patrons to interlibrary loan services for some time, as we've been enduring the lengthy process of having our systems connected electronically.

Now, at long last, we have our systems coordinated so that as soon as a patron is registered into PDL's system, they will be automatically and without delay be connected to MeL!
