How Do I Call Abroad?
“How do I phone home?” asked a patron from Melbourne, Australia. I told her about the website,
How To Call Abroad.com International Calling Guide.
On the left hand side of the page you will see “Choose Country,” she clicked on “A” for Australia. A second page comes up which is; “How To Call Abroad.” She saw the link for “How To Call Australia” and clicked on it. Automatically, the cell phone and telephone instructions appeared on the screen. Our patron was able to call Melbourne without a hitch! Try this site when you need to make an overseas call to anywhere in the world.

We are always ordering new books. We love books and are always looking for ways to share new titles with our patrons. Besides featuring lists of hot new titles in the Library, which are very hard to keep current, we suggest you check out the information found on our website. Under the category, “Everything for Book Lovers” you can connect to a page that lists our “Newest Arrivals.” After you have selected a genre, you will be connected directly to the online catalog. The catalog displays the title and from this point you can browse the new selections and reserve the titles that interest you. You can also send in a book review or register to subscribe to a monthly newsletter on “Book News.” Add another dimension to your reading life on the Plainview-Old Bethpage Public Library website!

Last week’s annual Friends of the Library Book Sale was a resounding success. The Friends worked hard all week preceding the sale to sort and organize the over 9,000 items that were donated for sale. They arranged and classified hundreds of titles. They solicited local businesses for raffles. They were up early and stayed late. And the results of their labors were record breaking profits! Many thanks and much appreciation goes to this dedicated and devoted group of men and women whose mission is to support the Library by presenting programs and purchasing materials outside the scope of the tax-approved budget.
