When has life ever

been so magical as

when you were a child

visiting the library?

Worlds and ideas that

were once

inconceivable are

provoked to grow and

play in your

imagination. There is

hardly a better

environment to

encourage a child's

natural wonder.

We at the Cottonwood

Public Library are

proud and thankful to

continue to offer our

community more

enchanting library

magic. With the help

of children and teens

ages 8-18, local

artists, Joan Bourque

and Heather Hakola,

dutifully encouraged

everyone to cooperate

and work together.

Each week confidence

and camaraderie grew

as ideas took shape

and hard work

transformed into art.

Come see how our

young muralists have

woven fantasy into

local imagery and the

things that they take

pride and joy from in

their lives in the Verde

Valley.

Our program was

funded through a

"Building Healthier

Communities"

MATForce Mini-grant,

to offer positive

afterschool activities

for our area's youth.

Over 30 kids and

teens participated er,

and we would like to

thank them for their

help. And thank you,

Joan and Heather for

sharing your time and

talents with us all.

"Opportunity for All,"

a remarkable new

study funded by the

Bill and Melinda

Gates Foundation

and published

recently by the

Institute of Museum

and Library

Services—a federal

agency analogous to

the two National

Endowments—shows

that, in the last year,

an astonishing 169

million (69%)

Americans 14 years

or older visited a

public library.

Moreover, one out of

three Americans 14

years or older visit

once a week or more

often. Library visits

are highest among:

the working poor,

people of mixed

race, 14-18, 35-44,

and 65-74 year olds;

women and people

with educational

attainment beyond

high school. Many

factors are driving

this unprecedented

level of use of public

libraries. But the

study shows that

principal among

them is the work of

library staff to meet

the information

needs of the

communities they

serve.

One universal need

being met by

American public

libraries in every

community is

Internet access, with

45 percent of the

169 million visitors

using a library

computer or wireless

network during their

visit in the past

twelve months.

Nearly half the

nation's 14-18 year

olds used a library

computer last year,

and one quarter did

so once a week or

more. The most

common use of

library computers by

teenagers was to do

homework.

For those living

below the poverty

line, access to library

computers was

particularly

important, with 54%

of seniors in this

category using them

to access

information on

health or wellness

and 61% of young

adults using them

for educational

purposes.

This impressive

report offers

dramatic proof of the

relevance of public

libraries today. It

proves that public

libraries stand out as

one of the few

community

institutions that can

address the

computing and

information needs of

all kinds of users,

from seniors who

have never touched

a keyboard to young

entrepreneurs

launching a new

EBusiness strategy.

"The Public

Computer Center

Grant will help bring

our citizens closer to

new opportunities by

providing more than

1,000 computers to

libraries throughout

the state," said

Governor Brewer.

The grant will

enhance facilities in

all 15 Arizona

counties as part of

the first series of

Broadband Initiative

Award rollouts for

the American

Recovery and

Reinvestment Act

(ARRA) of 2009. Coy

Ison was hired by

the state to manage

the grant. The

Yavapai County

Library District is

providing a 20%

funding match as

required for this

project.

Cottonwood Public

Library will be

receiving

approximately 9-10

new Internet access

computers along

with furniture to put

them on. We

anticipate receiving a

new printer, server,

web filter, licenses

for security and

reservations and

several replacement

monitors for some of

our existing

computers.

We do not have an

exact date of arrival

yet, but it should be

before the end of

the year. Once you

see us rearranging

furniture, you'll know

the computers are

on their way. The

plan at this time is to

make an area

available near the

fireplace for the

additional

computers.

All items that were

put on hold before

the migration will

show up as holds in

the new system. You

will keep your place

in the hold queue.

You are now able to

place 25 items on

hold at a time, with

a maximum limit of

50 checkouts

throughout the

network. We will still

maintain a limit of 8

audiovisual materials

checked out at a

time.

The limit of 3

renewals is in effect

with the exception of

not having to bring

the item in to be

seen after 2

renewals.

Our fee (fines)

structure remains

the same.

Please be patient

with us during this

transition as we continue

to try to provide quality

service to one and all.

regarding our online

library catalog is on page

"It's funny that we think of libraries as quiet demure places where we are shushed by dusty, bun-balancing,

bespectacled women. The truth is libraries are raucous clubhouses for free speech, controversy and commu-

nity. Librarians have stood up to the Patriot Act, sat down with noisy toddlers and reached out to illiterate

adults. Libraries can never be shushed."

- Comedian and author Paula Poundstone, national spokesperson for Friends of Libraries U.S.A.

Each Monday

morning about five

minutes to nine we

arrive at the library

at just the right

time.

My friend and I walk

briskly, not fast we

want not to be early

and don't want to be

last.

Monday's writing

group meets there at

nine, with pages of

prose and stanzas of

rhymes. We listen

and applaud as

offerings are read,

their poems, their

essays, their secrets

now said.

We bond as we

share our writings,

the seal with trust in

each other, no fear

to reveal ourselves

to our selves and to

our dear friends that

love and compassion

never offends.

This is some general information about our new OPAC Catalog (online catalog). There will be some

changes with the new system.

Sign-in/Login Session:

When signing in, you will notice that your name will appear on the page. The pin number is stillthe last 4 digits of your phone number. This is the same as the last catalog, leaving nodifference.

Search:

When searching you will be able to choose which library to pick-up your items that you placed on

hold

Holds:

When you have placed an item on hold, it will show as unavailable in your holds list until the

item comes in for you. It will show you the number of copies that are in the system, it will

show you how many copies are available, and it will show you what place in line you maintain

on the holds list.

Limits:

The limits have increased from 8 holds to 25 holds and the maximum items for checkout have

increased from 25 items to 50 items network wide. The maximum item checkouts allowed for

the Audio/Visual department remains the same amount of 8 items. The maximum fine charge

of $10.00 remains the same.

Library Cards:

Your current card is now automatically activated at all Yavapai Network Libraries. When a new

patron registers at one library, they are automatically registered at all libraries.

The OPAC Catalog is a little different, but it still works the same.

"Libraries and librarians have definitely changed my life - and the lives of

countless other Americans...they deserve the support and patronage of

every single one of us who values education."

- Former First Lady Barbara Bush
