Welcome to the Reader Services Department:
Donna Ballard, Mary-Ellen Fosso, Christina Crocker, Marcia Blackman (Department Head), Maria Snyder and Janine Walsh welcome you to the Reader Services Department Website of the EMPL web page. Our job is to provide you with books for the adult circulating collection, to keep the collection up-to-date, and to provide book discussions, working closely with the Public Relations Department. We publicize interesting aspects of the collection and just help to make EMPL the vital and exciting place it is!
Please browse our links to several sites. We've provided an e-mail address for your comments and suggestions. We hope you'll find lots of helpful information. Enjoy!
