Click here for BOOK RENEWALS		RECENTLY ARRIVED BOOKS
Please renew by e-mail and be sure to include your name, the title of the book to be renewed, as well as its bar code number (found on the same page as the date due stamp). Reminder:  The cost of replacing a lost or damaged hard cover book or non-fiction is now $250 pesos, and a paperback is $150 pesos.  This is due to a $5.50 USD shipment charge per book, in addition to the Mexican duty on arrival. Also, the fine for overdue books is now 2 pesos per day per book.

LIBRARY UPDATE...

The library computer system is networked and we can directly input new books into the catalog. This also allows us to check donations in a much smoother process as well as keep a closer watch on overdue books. The administrative committee continues to organize and make changes to the Library.

There is a proposal by a LCS member to begin to purchase books by request with the person paying a portion of the cost of the book as a donation to the Library. When the book arrives it would be processed into the Library and the person donating it would get to be the first to read “their” donated book. The Library administration committee is looking into the procedures for implementing this excellent suggestion.

An LCS member has expressed an interest in forming a Science Fiction Book Club. If you are interested in participating in this club, please go to the library service desk and sign-up. If enough interest is shown the library staff will assist in setting up the club. If you would like to see a different topic for a book club let us know.

We have established a Library Book Selection Committee that will work to determine what books should be purchased for the library collection. This committee is composed of people with broad reading interests, skills and backgrounds. We’ve made an effort to ensure they represent the most likely literary interests of all our readers. The members of the Library Book Selection Committee are: Mary Edwards, Chuck Giles, Robert Kleffel, Bob McKeown, Jane Sensale and Hunter Watson. We appreciate their generous contributions of time, interests and expertise in selecting books you want to read.

In our effort to upgrade the quality of our existing collection, committee members will be looking at existing data on what kinds of books are currently checked out most often and taking polls from our readers on what kinds of books you’d like to see in the library in order to get input from you about what you want to read. There is also a “wish list” posted in the library. Feel free to add books to this list, e-mail the library at library@lakechapalasociety.com, leave messages for or approach committee members directly with your suggestions and ideas.

It is your library and we are committed to making sure your reading interests are fairly represented in the collection.

The Library has many paperbacks books for sale for 7 pesos each. As this is one of the ways the Library has to help with its support, please remember to pay for the books you select for purchase.

This is your library...any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Please Note: LCS members are not permitted to check out books for non-members; please tell your friends and neighbors they need to join LCS to use our Library. Not following LCS policy may cause a member to lose their LCS Library privileges. You are responsible for all books checked out in your name.

Call for LCS Book-Buying Fund-- As many of you know, Powells.com has started charging postage for the books sent from the USA, so we have to pay duty on them when they arrive here. Books will cost our Library  nearly twice the cost of the books themselves to get here; therefore, we will not be able to buy many books.

Magazine Reading Room: Good news--there are current issues of many great magazines in the reading room, as recent issues no longer leave the Library. You can enjoy at least 40 different magazines in all areas of interest, as well as English newspapers. Donations of current magazines are always welcome. Not surprisingly, usage of the reading room has increased!

Books on Tape--Traveling by car? We have a few books on tape which will help you through the long hours. These tapes are for sale in the Library's magazine Reading Room.

LARGE PRINT books--if your reading pleasure is being hindered by the small print in most books, your LCS Library has the answer. The library has over 300 books with large print. Most of the books are novels, but there is a fair selection of biographies and books of general interest. In addition, we have many copies of The Reader's Digest in large print.


YOUR LCS LIBRARY TODAY...

The Lake Chapala Society Library is staffed by LCS volunteers and available to LCS members. The library is computerized for circulation, with an electronic card catalog available for patron use. Your LCS Membership Card can be barcoded at the main desk: it serves as your Library Card. The LCS Library is truly an amazing endeavor which speaks well for our members and their love of books. Have a suggestion for library improvement? Want to volunteer on a special project? For further information, please contact the library.

LIBRARY HISTORY...

The LCS Library has been in operation since 1955.  When LCS moved to the present facilities, the library was located in the building that had been the weaving facility that Neill James had set up.   

After beginning with a one-bookcase book exchange program, we have grown into a true library with nearly 25,000 volumes, including reference books. Although being modest, our collection is an impressive one of both fiction and non-fiction books since donations are our main source of books.  A reader can always find something to entertain or learn from in our library, one of the largest  English language libraries located outside of an English speaking country.

Donations of books or magazines are always greatly appreciated.  A Memorial Book Program exists for members who wish to donate books to the library in memory of a family member or friend.  For gifting of large book collections, please contact the Librarian; the books can be viewed at your home by library staff to select those titles needed. The library also sells used books for a nominal sum to help support the facility. Watch for notices of future booksales.

BOOK DONATION GUIDELINES...

Since the LCS library has been catalogued, there has been an increase in the quantity and quality of donations. We are especially welcoming books written within the past five years. Although we don’t want to discourage the flow of donations, there are certain books we cannot use:

• Old high school and college textbooks. If they have nostalgic value to you, retain them for your reminisces.
• Out-of-date "how-to" books, especially those dealing with computers. (If you have updated, so has most everyone else!)
• Books that need substantial repair, mildewed books(!) or damaged books of any kind.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support and contributions.

For all you jigsaw puzzle lovers, the LCS Library has many to choose from. These can be borrowed from the Reading Room; they're kept behind the counter so ask one of the library staff.

Each week the library receives a dozen or more new fiction books. They come as donations. We are always looking for current fiction and non-fiction books. Check out the New Book Shelf in the main library. (Only 2 new books may be checked out at a time and they may not be renewed so that others have an opportunity to read them.)
