We're Moving... a few sections to new locations!

You know how your favorite grocery store will move things around, turning a familiar trip into a game of hunt and seek?  If you are like most of us, you probably find these changes a little annoying (particularly when you're in a hurry). However, every once in a while these changes can be good like when you find something new.

Where am I going with this? Well, your Ligonier Valley Library recently decided to shake things up bit by relocating a few familiar sections into unfamiliar territory.

Audiobook on CD Section

Audiobooks on CD can now be found just passed the entrance to our Re-Readable bookstore, heading toward the children's department.

For those patrons who enjoy the Audiobooks on Playaway, you will now find them situated next to the Large Print section (opposite the books on CD).

Audiobooks on
Playaway Section

Teens, we hope you will be the most excited by our changes! No doubt, you noticed how tight the shelves were in your section. We also imagine that you were wondering about so many favorite titles being sent to a mystical place called 'storage.' Well, we have good news... we relocated your section and now there is more room for your old favorites as well as the new titles you have been so anxiously awaiting!

Young Adult Books
& Graphic Novel Section

The Young Adult Books & Graphic Novels are now located on the stand-out shelves after the Adult DVD & VHS tapes. Now you can browse for movies, then move down the rows to the teen section. The really brave can take a few extra steps and venture into the Adult Fiction section.

Come to think of it... when traveling from movies to adult fiction or vice versa, we encourage our adult patrons to make a stop in between! You might be surprised by the number of really good young adult books you'll find.

We realize that change can be scary and even annoying, but it can also be an adventure! We hope you'll find yourself becoming acquainted with a whole different part of the library... perhaps a section you've either never visited or haven't visited in awhile.

Will we be moving any other sections around? Absolutely not! No way!  Ok, it's doubtful.  Probably not... but never say never. Guess you will just have to stop by the library and find out.

If you have any questions or need help finding anything, please ask at one of the circulation desks and we'll try to point you in the right direction.
