Hopewell Branch Welcome to the Hopewell Branch of the Mercer County Library System! My name is Andrea Merrick, Branch Manager at the Hopewell Branch Library. Let me introduce you to the Branch staff - Hope, Diane, Donna, Eileen, Jewell, Judy, Robin and Ross are all ready to assist you at the Circulation Desk. At the Reference Desk, you will be helped by Karen, Anna, John or our Youth Services Librarians, Emily and Briana. Here are some quick facts about the Hopewell Branch and our services: There are over 49,300 adult and children’s print items available for circulation. Patrons visited the Branch 135,693 times in 2011 and 192,063 items were circulated. Please take advantage of our exciting variety of adult and children’s programming – schedules may be found at the Branch, online at http://webserver.mcl.org/ and in the Hopewell Valley News. In 2011, the Branch offered 220 adult programs and 406 children’s programs. To register for programming, please call 609-737-2610. We have over 6,250 DVDs for adults and children. We are always adding to our large audiobook collection for adults and children - over 1,550 books-on-CD, over 170 read-alongs, and over 200 Playaways. A Playaway is a pre-loaded digital audio player. Our diverse music collection is always growing - now we have over 2,800 CDs. You can take a free, one-on-one computer class at the Branch - just talk to Karen! Karen can tailor a class to fit your needs – nothing is too basic. Anna offers many classes on Web 2.0 – eBooks and eReaders, social networking, blogging, and twitter, to name a few. We are always happy to hear your suggestions – please feel free to email me at amerrick@mcl.org or fill out a comment form. If you would like us to consider purchasing a title, you may either tell us directly or use the Library System’s “Suggestions for Purchase” form. Hope to see you soon and often!
