Thank you to everyone who attended the library's celebration of National Puppy Day.
A big thanks goes out to Sharon and Lipton who did an excellent job representing Canine Companions for Independence.
Many people also enjoyed learning about and meeting Alix the police dog. Thanks to Sgt. Ohalek.

From the Director...
The Patriot Act is in the news again. Congress and the President are debating the legalities of telephone wiretaps and related issues yet again.
Librarians worry about the provisions of the Act which give government access to patron’s borrowing information without letting the patron know they’re looking.
How can you keep prying eyes away?
It’s easy. Bring materials back to the library on time. Overdue books set into motion our automated library system’s function of tracking the materials and then assessing a fine once they’ve been returned.
Information about materials returned on or before their due date disappears from the system within 24 hours and is not recoverable by any means.
Overdue or lost materials generate a history which remains in the system until the fine is paid or the lost item is paid for. Always get a receipt for your payment and ask that your history be deleted.
It’s the library’s job to provide materials that are useful to our patrons. It’s the patron’s job to use them wisely.
--Karen Potter, Director of the Maitland Public Library
