The PrepMe SAT preparation course offers 40+ hours of instructional content, practice quizzes, and full-length tests. PrepMe's online system will automatically identify your strengths and weaknesses and create a customized, week-by-week schedule for you to help you raise your score.

Closings: The library will be closed Saturday, May 24, and Monday, May 26, for Memorial Day.

PrepMe Test Preparation: PrepMe is an online database that helps students prepare for standardized achievement tests such as SAT, PSAT, and ACT exams. The library has purchased a subscription, which is now accessible from Bolton High School, the library, and at home. Check it out by choosing the PrepMe link above.

Book Sale: The library will be featuring "coffee table" books priced at $1 each in April and hardcover mysteries for 50 cents each in May. Come in and check out the selection. All profits go to the Friends of the Library fund.

Facility Renovations: The building renovations are coming to a close. By the printing of this newsletter, brick restoration, carpet replacement, corner windows, window treatments, and a new handicapped accessible restroom will be completed.

Circulation Desk: We are pleased to announce that John Dean Custom Cabinetry of Bolton has been selected to build a custom, handicapped-accessible, child-friendly circulation desk for the library, replacing the existing 33-year-old desk. We are very excited about this project moving forward.

Database Training: We offer one-on-one instruction for database use on Thursday afternoons. If you would like to learn how to navigate the Connecticut State Library www.iconn.org databases, please call 646-7349 to make an appointment.

Bentley Boutique: The library has a selection of new children's books that can be purchased for the library collection in honor of someone special. This is a great way to commemorate anniversaries, birthdays and Grandma, too!

OverDrive: Have you checked out our downloadable audio books yet? Log into http://bibliomation.lib.overdrive.com and download your titles on your computer, MP3 player, or burn to a disc. It's easy and there is no cost to you. (You must have a valid Bolton library card to use this service.)

Wireless Access: Are you looking for a place to work on your laptop? Come to the library--we have a wireless connection for you! (You must have a valid Bolton library card to use this service.)

Don't Forget Your Library Cards: Please remember to bring your library card when checking out material, reserving an item from Bibliomation or iCONN, or logging on to the wireless connection. Patrons must present a valid library card in their own name to assure accuracy and privacy and to expedite the transaction. There will be no exceptions to this policy. Thank you for your cooperation.
