While the South Boston Public Library is closed, all operations will be transferred to the Halifax Public Library (next to the Farmer's Market). Items that are due back at South Boston during this time can be returned in the bookdrop by the front door. Renewals and hold requests will need to be made online or at the Halifax library. We apologize for the tremendous inconvenience.

Rebecca Skloot, author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks will be speaking in the auditorium at the Prizery on November 7^th at 3:00pm. This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Halifax County-South Boston Regional Library.

The Halifax County – South Boston Regional Library is pleased to announce the addition of a new e-book collection. This new e-resource gives library patrons access to over 3,000 online books for students and job seekers. Some titles include:

• 10 Best College Majors for Your Personality
• 150 Best Jobs for a Better World
• 250 Best-paying Jobs

A recent upgrade to the library's automated system now enables the library to send email reminders before materials are due. This great new feature will remind you when to renew/return your library books ahead of time. This is not only convenient for library patrons, it will also save the library money and time by automatically sending reminders and overdue notices by email, rather than printing and paying for postage to send paper overdue notices. To sign up for Email Reminders, simply call or come by either the Halifax or South Boston Libraries and give your email address to the library staff.

Now you can check out five DVDs for five days. DVDs can only be renewed once and the fine for late DVDs is $1.00 a day for each DVD. You still have to be eighteen to check out DVDs.

Need to renew your books but the Library is closed? See a bestseller that you want to be on the waiting list for? Just want to know what you have checked out and when it's due back? If your patron account has a valid password, you can log in right now and do all of this. Don't have a password or forgot it? Just send email, phone, or go to any library branch in person and we can change it. You'll need to verify your library card number, name, address, and driver's license/ID number.

Stay up to date on Library events and help us save money. Send us an email with your name and library card number in the message to receive all your notifications by email. Your address will never be given to a third party and you can tell us to remove you from our mailing list at any time.
