Great Minds Think Alike

When we saw Rolling Stone's list of "top 50 CDs of 2008," it turned out the library had already ordered more than thirty of them earlier in the year. We ordered most of the others right away. So if there's a CD on this list that intrigues you, you can put a hold on it through our online catalog. Or just call the library at 385-4164 and we'll place the hold for you. If it's checked out to someone else, we call you and tell you when it's back and waiting here for you. That's a pretty nice service! And if you don't have a library card yet... what are you waiting for? It's free, it's available to anyone who lives in Stratford, and it's your passport to loads of free music, books and DVDs.
