Volunteers needed to help with tax prep

The Indian Lake Library is joining with the Lake Pleasant Library to help people whose incomes were less than $57,000 in 2012 to file their taxes at no cost. The filing will be done online with tax preparation software, but we are looking for some volunteers (college students to retirees) who would be willing to take some online training, become an IRS-certified volunteer, and answer basic questions for people at the library. The IRS and the United Way are co sponsoring this program.

This is a great opportunity to give back to your community!  Talk to Nancy or leave a note at the desk if this is something that interests you.  Thank you.

Just for the record, we have not received ANY complaints about the laughter or tears of the Writer’s Group!  You are all most welcome to use our space and we hope more people will feel free to join you when they see you in action.  The newsletter from October can be found here :  October Newsletter Writers Group.  Thanks to Poets & Writers and Friends of the Library for underwriting our workshop/reading event. Next year, in September!

Board Meeting Date change for November

The Board of Trustees has changed the date of the Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Indian Lake Library.  With the budget meeting schedule and the holiday schedule upon us, the Board will meet on Wednesday NOVEMBER 7, 2012 at 4:30 at the library.

Winter hours begin with the snowfall

Shades of things to come!  In winter we don’t have a lot of people venturing out to the library during midweek evenings so we adjust our hours and open 11-4 on Wednesdays. We usually begin right after Columbus Day, but stayed open last Wednesday for the poetry reading. Glad we did!
