What does circulation have to do with a library?

When you have questions such as "Where do I go to get a replacement library card?" or "How much do I owe the library?", the Circulation Desk is where to go. The Circulation department is responsible for performing functions such as check-ins, check-outs, renewing library materials, monitoring the self-check machines, receiving payment for fines, and library card registration. The Circulation Department is also responsible for managing the re-shelving of all returned materials, and maintaining the order of the various collections housed in the library.
At the Gibson Library, the Circulation Department head is Greg Reyes.

Welcome to the Youth Services Department!

Welcome to the Youth Services Department! We are responsible for assisting patrons (from the very young all the way up through their grandparents!) on the Children’s Reference Desk. We help them find books to complete homework assignments, locate the most recent title in a must-read series, or decide on the perfect audio book for an upcoming car trip. We also plan and offer a variety of programs for children, from newborns through teenagers. Our programs vary from storytimes to crafts and from book celebrations to book clubs. We build and maintain collections for all children and teens. We’ve got something for everyone! You can also find us out and about, providing storytimes, summer reading skits, and early literacy outreach in the community. Our staff consists of Marcie - Head of the Youth Services Department, Rachel, Sarah, Nicole, Catherine, Seth and Rita. Please stop by and say hello to our department when you get a chance. We’d love to help you out. Pictured: Department head Marcie
