Our
DVD and Video collection is divided into seven parts.
Six of these rotate among the 6 branch libraries every two months.
At the end of a year each branch library has seen each part of the
six parts.
Collection seven is a group of videos that have been
"retired" from the rotating collection.
These are videos that don't circulate often enough to justify
keeping them in the rotating collections, but we want to make them
available to our patrons for a while longer.
Collection seven is kept at Metamora Branch Library .
Videos from collection can be requested and will be sent to your
branch library |

Art on Display @ IPDPL |

Lance Durst is the current local artist chosen to showcase his work in the revolving art exhibit at the Metamora Branch of Illinois Prairie District Public Library. The Metamora resident has brought six paintings using various media from acrylic to oil to pencil and watercolor. Although Lance enjoyed drawing as a kid and took a few art classes in high school and at ICC, he didn’t pursue painting until a couple of years ago. Mostly self-taught, he has experimented with different media. The acrylic paintings are a series of three beach scenes with lovely sunsets and a sea plane in each. A mixed media using pencil and watercolor depicts a Mexican scene. Lance’s favorite is a large oil painting featuring a barn storming plane flying through an open barn in an overview of a farmstead. Another oil painting is an ocean scene with colorful fish swimming around a sunken ship. At first Lance didn’t care as much for this one, but he grew to admire it as it was loud, but peaceful. Visit the Metamora branch during the next three months and take a look at the original work. |

Thursday, September 13, this research will be offered at the Spring Bay Branch from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. and continue every other Thursday (Sept. 6 & 20, Oct. 4 & 18, etc.). Assistance will be on hand at the Roanoke Branch on alternating Thursdays (Sept. 13 & 27, Oct. 11 & 25, etc.) from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Barbara Surratt, who has worked with genealogy research for many years, will then be available to answer questions or to show patrons how to use the Internet to check family records. She will also provide the use of genealogy CD’s with military records, church records, census records, passenger and immigration lists, marriage indexes from several states, and other family history resource files.
Bring all pertinent information you have gathered about your family for further research. The assistance is free but printouts will be at the library’s normal fee.
