JCPL Teens

The library is starting a new Lucky Day program today. I'm sure you have experienced something like this before: The Mark of Athena, the 3rd book in the Lost Hero series by Rick Riordan is coming out in October and you just found out about it and you're going to get yourself on the hold list right now and be one of the first people to read it and hooray! it's in the library catalog and it only has...dun dun dun...341 holds?!?!

The Lucky Day collection is going to be a selection of very popular books that do not go out on holds, which means it just might be at the library when you get here! Here's what you need to know:

1. The Lucky Day collection starts today, August 1.

2. It includes popular Adult, Teen and Children's fiction titles, as well as feature films and Adult non-fiction. (Hint, hint: all the Hunger Games books are included, along with many other great books you might be waiting for.)

3. You can check out up to 3 Lucky Day items at a time and they check out for the normal amount of time (3 weeks for books, 1 week for movies). You can't renew these books.

4. We will still have all our regular copies of a title as well, so you can place a hold in case you never see the Lucky Day copy. If you end up getting a Lucky Day copy your hold will cancel automatically so you don't have to worry that you will get it twice.

5. We cannot set aside Lucky Day books for you, which means you just have to come in and see what's here. Say hi to your teen librarian when you're in--we get lonely sometimes.  :)
