EAST DUNDEE – The Dundee Township Public Library District officially has become the Fox River Valley Public Library District.
During this transition, patrons will see changes on signs, printed materials and electronic communications, according to a news release from the district.
Some things to look for:
• “Fox River Valley Public Library District” bar codes and stamps already are on the newest materials and print and electronic communications that go out for courtesy notices, holds, overdue notices, bills and receipts for check-outs and check-ins. Older library materials will not be relabeled.
• BiblioCommons, the online catalog, has a new “banner” identifying the landing page as “Fox River Valley Public Library District.” Once the Randall Oaks Branch Library opens in August patrons will have the choice of two locations for picking up holds.
• The website address now is www.frvpld.info. The previous address – www.dundeelibrary.info – will be redirected to the new site, but patrons are encouraged to update their "Favorites" with the new address.
All information about the Library Board and districtwide policies, procedures and initiatives will be communicated under the Fox River Valley Public Library District name and banner.
Programs and services, such as computer classes, story times and pickup of an item placed on hold, will be at a specific location.
To help distinguish between location, references will be made to either the “Dundee Library” or the “Randall Oaks Branch Library.”
The Fox River Valley Public Library District will continue to honor existing library cards issued under Dundee Township Public Library District.
Over the next few weeks, job opportunities at the Randall Oaks Branch Library will be announced. For details, visit www.frvpld.info.
“This is a very exciting time for the library district,” Library Director Roxane Bennett said in a news release. “As we prepare to expand to two locations, our commitment to provide the greatest possible value for your library tax dollar continues.”
The Fox River Valley Public Library District/Dundee Library is at 555 Barrington Ave. (Route 68) in East Dundee. The Randall Oaks Branch Library is at 500 N. Randall Road in West Dundee.
