Patron Comments 1. The adultish program with the mini -planetarium was fantastic. Really out of this world! 2. A Family Non -Resident Patron came into the library to renew. She suggested we update the email she received regarding the renewal to state that NR patrons need to come into the library to renew. She says the email states they can renew online (they can't). 3. PLEASE, replace the do not enter signs in the parking lot! I watched three cars this morning enter the wrong way, one of whom almost caused a wreck. Everytime I come to the library, 1 see cars do this — they do not see or understand the arrows! 4. Some days it's quite in here, rare, they are! Most days it's not quite in here, Loud, they are. I wish for a decibel meter at times. I would use it to check levels through out several days. Then record each days average. I would then put the results into the Suggestion Box. 5. The "Slim" musical event on this bright SUNDAY was REMARKABLE. Many thanks for bringing (illegible) ex ceptional musicians and UNUSUALLY EMOTIVE singers to GEORGETOWN.
