Tax Info & Staff Updates

It's THAT time again!  Here are some answers to questions I'm sure we are all getting:

• Yes, we will be getting in some federal tax forms.  They will be shipped in mid-Janaury to early February.  They will be out downstairs in the usual place, on top of the third set of shelves, where the new non-fiction books are shelved.
• Free tax help will be available again this year, courtesy of People Incorporated.  They will start on Tuesday, Feburary 4,  and continue until April 15.  Times are: Tuesdays from 5:30 pm until 7:30 pm and Saturdays from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm.We have bookmarks to give out with a list of items folks need to bring, such as a current photo ID and a copy of last year's return. They will be doing returns back in the computer lab.
• State tax forms have not been available at the library for several years now.  Sometimes they are available at the courthouse.  We can go online and print out a form, providing the patron knows what form is needed.  Copies are 20 cents a page.

As many have heard, Nancy Patterson is having some health issues.  She is making progress but good thoughts and prayers would be appreciated.  Laurie will post updates on the staff bulletin board.

Happy Birthday!
