January is National Eye Care Month. So celebrate! This month has been dedicated by eye care professionals nationwide to the promotion of healthy vision. Optometrists and ophthalmologists suggest strongly that you get your eyes checked every year, and what better time to do so than in January when we are celebrating all things new? It doesn’t matter whether or not you wear corrective lenses, or even if you think your eyes are in perfect condition. Getting regular eye exams is an important part of your overall health care, and vital to ensure your continued healthy vision.
We here at the library understand the needs of our patrons in the different stages that we go through with our vision. So many of you may be at the stage where you may need to choose something larger to read than regular print- we've got that for you- Large Print books. And some of you may have trouble even reading this large print, but would still enjoy reading the books. So for you we have books on cassette or on CD. Whatever your need, we are here to help you get what you need. If we don't have it here in our collection, we can borrow through Interlibrary Loan for you at no charge. (We then have access to much more than our library's walls.) Depending on where the item is coming from, this service may take 2 or 3 days, so you may need to plan accordingly if it's for a project or something.
The library hours are as follows:
| Sunday | CLOSED | ||
| Monday | 11:00-5:00 | ||
| Tuesday | 9:00-11:00 | 3:30-7:00 | |
| Wednesday | 11:00-5:00 | ||
| Thursday | 3:30-7:00 | ||
| Friday | 1:00-5:00 | ||
| Saturday | 9:00-12:00 | |
Please let us know if we can help you find that book, audio, or movie that you need. Remember that we do provide a Homebound Delivery Service. A homebound person is someone at any age who is unable to visit the library due to a long or short-term illness, condition or disability. This most certainly includes senior citizens who don't drive. Just give us a call or email us what you are looking for and we will try to get that out to you later that same day. When you are finished with the items, then give us a call back and we will then pick the items up from you. It's like bringing the library to your home. You can reach us at (641)482-3115 or by email at tina-marie@melbourne.lib.ia.us or marcey-smith@melbourne.lib.ia.us. Stay warm and until next time, Happy Reading!
