These videos are for loan to any member who wishes them, just like the books. Our latest policy has been to have all the books and videos physically brought to every monthly Monday meeting. There you may examine them and sign them out on the appropriate 3x5 card with just your name and phone number. If you wish the librarian to bring a certain book or video to a natter’n noggin Tuesday, that’s usually no trouble either. Please e-mail Howard Turk at bacaboat@aol.com or librarian@chicagolandmgclub.com or phone him at 847-279-0235 to make arrangements if interested. And if you have an idea of an additional book or video that belongs in the library, you could just be the next Chicagoland MG Club Librarian.
