"February is merely as long as is needed to pass the time until March." ~ Dr. J. R. Stockton

FEBRUARY 2018

Fine Free WEEK Feb. 12-17

We get it: That forgotten book on the nightstand, the movie still hiding in the DVD player or that magazine tucked under the car seat: overdue fees can add up more quickly than you imagine. But many times, when people have outstanding fines, they stop coming into the Library. We want to change that! Bring in your overdue books, CDs and DVDs and your fines for those items will be waived during the week of Feb. 12-17! (Please note that this does not in- clude replacement fees for lost or damaged books or interlibrary loan materials, or past fines already on the patron’s account.)

Have you Lôôked at our

WEBSITE Lately? The library’s website is designed with you in

God's Mighty Warrior : the

Story of U.S. Capitol Police

Officer Tim Jones' Battle

with TTP

by Dusty Caudill

Perhaps you’ve read about Tim Jones in the

Middlesboro Daily News, how he went from being

a Capitol Police Officer in Washington, DC, to

fighting for his life in a Lexington hospital. It’s a

remarkable story, and we are pleased to announce

that we have a copy at both the Middlesboro and

Pineville Libraries, and also on the Bookmobile.

The books are in-process and will be ready to check

out very soon!
