Have you ever wanted to read the newest title by a popular author but found that there was already a long hold list? Our new Lucky Day Collection has many of the bestselling titles, but here's the difference - they aren't available for holds, so they sit on the shelf waiting for a lucky patron like you to check them out. The Friends of the Wixom Public Library have graciously donated funds to begin this collection. The Library will have a selection of popular titles available for a 7 day loan period with no renewal. It is a great way for patrons to find high demand titles while browsing our new book collection.
OverDrive: eBooks and More!
You've asked for it – it's here! The Library proudly announces the availability of OverDrive downloadable eBooks, audiobooks, and music.
Using OverDrive is easy! All you need is your Wixom Public Library card and a computer with Internet access. (You may also be prompted to download some free software.) Click here to begin. Next, browse the selection of available titles, check out the items of your choice, and download it to your computer. After downloading, most titles can be transferred to a portable device. There are no late fees – at the end of the loan period, titles are automatically returned.
If you love both the Library and the convenience of online shopping, we're sure you'll love OverDrive. Pick up a brochure on your next visit, or for a guided tour, come to an Introduction to OverDrive class.
Tax Forms
The IRS no longer distributes tax forms through the mail to individual taxpayers. You can obtain forms online or visit the library for assistance locating and printing forms. The library will also receive a limited number of pre-printed forms and publications in early 2012. Check our website for updates or call the library to see if we have what you need. The 2012 tax filing deadline is April 17th.
Help Your Library: Adopt an Author
Due to declining property tax values and reductions in state aid, the Library’s budget is shrinking. Despite this, the Library is busier than ever. We will do our best to remain the best educational and entertainment value in town.
