LME Hotspots

Hotspots A hotspot is a wi-fi device you can use to connect a mobile-enabled device, such as a laptop, smartphone, or tablet, to the Internet. The hotspots are portable and Mobile Beacon’s internet service is provided on Sprint’s 4G LTE network. The hotspot has unlimited data but can only be used within the continental United States. The coverage area can be viewed at http://www.mobilebeacon.org/lte-coverage/   

The Lillie M. Evans Library District makes hotspots available to LME Library card holders to assist in research, networking, recreation and document or presentation production needs. Hotspots are provided according to availability.

The following rules and regulations apply:

1. The Lillie M. Evans Library lends hotspot devices to LME Library cardholders ages 18 or above with library cards in good standing (i.e. library card is not blocked due to unpaid fines or lost materials) and who have held a LME Library card for at least 90 days. **TEMPORARY PANDEMIC MEASURE: hotspots will be loaned to any LME cardholder with a signed Internet agreement who is in good standing**

2. In addition, the LME Library’s Internet Policy & Agreement and a Hotspot Patron Agreement Form must also be completed.

3. Hotspots checkout is limited to one per household. When the hotspot is returned, there is a 24-hour waiting period to checkout another hotspot device by that household.

4. The loan period is 7 days, and it cannot be renewed or reserved. 

5. Hotspots are available at the Circulation Desk on a first-come, first-served basis. The library reserves the right to refuse service to patrons who abuse equipment or who are repeatedly late in returning materials. 

6. Hotspots are to be returned inside the library at the circulation desk, not in the book drop. Patrons will be held responsible for damage to the item if it is returned in the book drop. Hot spots must be kept in a temperature controlled environment (not left in vehicles or in extreme temperature environments).

7. Fines for unreturned hotspots are $5 per day and will accumulate up to the full replacement cost of $75 for a hotspot that is not returned. If the hotspot is overdue, the service will be cut off and the user’s library privileges will be suspended.

8. The library is not responsible for any liability, damages or expense resulting from use or misuse of the device, connection of the device to other electronic devices, or data loss resulting from use of device. 

9. The borrower assumes full responsibility for the cost of repair or replacement in the event that the hotspot is lost, stolen or damaged. The Library staff will assess the technological issues and charge the borrower accordingly. Missing parts will result in the following charges:

    • Hotspot: $75
    • USB cable:$15
    • Adapter:$15
    • Case:$15

If the hotspot is not returned, its wireless service will be discontinued and the hotspot will be unusable.  

10. The Library is not responsible for information accessed using this device or for personal information that is shared over the internet. Hotspot users are encouraged to follow safe internet practices.

11. The following behaviors can result in the suspension of hotspot privileges and/or criminal prosecution:   Three (3) late returns for any device checkout will result in being permanently banned from borrowing all hotspot devices.

    • Viewing, displaying, or disseminating materials that are judged in accordance with current legal definitions as being obscene.
    • Use of the internet in any way which violates federal, state, or municipal laws.
    • Failure to return devices in a timely manner.

12. Three (3) late returns for any device checkout will result in being permanently banned from borrowing all hotspot devices.

>>> View Events List on Our Facebook! <<<

 

 

 

Select your age group (or homeschool equivalent) based

 

on GRADE ENTERING   FALL 2020 to skip to that information.


In 2020 ALL AGES have the same reading program. This will simplify everything for our readers. Our new program is 100% paper-free and no check-ins required! We're using ReaderZone's digital reading program (instructions here). Our reading program code is 92420. Reading minutes are to be recorded starting May 26 through July 31, 2020. The LME Library has partnered with local businesses to bring you LME Tokens that can be spent at participating businesses:

  • Country Feed & Supply
  • Dirt Road Designs (in the old flower shop on Main St.)
  • Ellen's Diner
  • Frosted & Sprinkles
  • The Garden Spot 
  • Princeville Pharmacy

 

All patrons who log their reading with us will get 1 LME Token for every 100 minutes they read/listen to books. Tokens may be spent at the local businesses above from May 26 to Aug. 31, 2020. Each LME Token is worth $1.00. By simply earning and spending LME Tokens you are helping local mom & pop shops during this difficult time for small businesses.

 

LME Tokens may not be redeemed for cash and no change will be given.

2020 Summer Reading Notes:
  • There are smartphone/tablet apps available free from ReaderZone for Apple, Android, & Amazon devices. This is the easiest interface to use with timers to track reading time or manual minutes read entry options. Parents can track their entire household under one login with individual "child" profiles under it. 
  • Patrons without smart devices can signup on a computer at www.readerzone.com.
  • If you do not have a computer or internet access you may still participate!!! Simply call us and we'll register and update your minutes for you.
  • Everyone who listens to a single story may count those minutes. (Example: If Mom reads to 3 children for 20 minutes they all can log those minutes. 
  • Books, eBooks, magazines, graphic novels, comic books, newspapers, audiobooks, study/research/homework materials ALL COUNT as reading minutes.
  • Special 5th-8th Grade note:
    • There is a suggested reading log of the 20 Rebecca Caudill Young Readers Award Nominees for 2021. These books are merely suggestions but highly recommended by the Princeville School District Language Arts Teachers. However, these titles are not required and all reading minutes will count.

 

 

Skeins of Hope 2018

Skeins of Hope 2018 - DIG2

What are we collecting this year?

 Fidget Lap Quilts  Lap Quilts/Blankets  Shaws          

 

What are Fidget Lap Quilts?

Small "blankets" with ribbons, beads, buttons, pockets and other "fidgetable" trinkets & treasures attached for patients to fiddle with and entertain themselves with. They are very similar to the ones people make for a baby but with more mature colors & themes. A Google image search of "Senior Fidget Quilts" brings up lots of examples to inspire you, just watch the sizing.

How big should I make my fidget quilt?

These blankets are not meant for warmth and are used year round so they need be no bigger than a table placemat. 

I don't sew. How can I help?

You can donate trinkets & treasures for us to sew onto blankets. Items like big beads, key rings & keys, snaps, clean men's button up shirts, denim pants/shorts with intact back pockets, fabric ribbon (without wires). We will also host a few "work days" at the library with pre-made mats that we need volunteers to attach fidgets to, sewing/crochet skills helpful but not required.

I wish I knew how to sew! Can you help me?

We will host a few group "Sew-ins" to work on fidget quilts for new and experienced seamstresses to work together. These will also act as basic sewing classes during the collection drive to teach new quilters. Sew-ins are on September 22 and October 13 from 10-noon. 

Sew-in Description:

Bring your sewing machine, some fabric, and trinkets & treasures to work with us to make fidget lap quilts. We will have some prepared mats ready for embellishing for those who can't sew. Please bring some baubles to attach at least.

Please message Anita Routh on FB @ www.facebook.com/lmelibrary, email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or call 309-385-4540 for details or to sign up.

 Where will the Fidget Lap Quilts be donated?

We have partnered with Evergreen Legacy (memory care unit) & Heritage Healthcare (nursing home) in Chillicothe who is excited to receive our donations for their patients. Our goal is to donate 30 Fidget Quilts.


How big should I make my Lap Quilt/Blanket?

Lap quilts, blankets, & lapghans are generally 3'x4' (36 in x 48 in). These blankets will mostly be used in a chair or wheelchair to keep their legs warm. You may quilt/sew, knit or crochet these items.

Where will the Lap Quilts be donated?

We have partnered with Heritage Healthcare (nursing home) in Chillicothe who is excited to receive our donations for their patients. We have a big goal of 70 lap quilts and shaws!


Where will the Shawls be donated?

We have partnered with Heritage Healthcare (nursing home) in Chillicothe who is excited to receive our donations for their patients. We have a big goal of 70 lap quilts and shaws!


Please Note:

  • All attached items must be machine washable and securely affixed.
  • No loose items, please. Do not include items that can be removed from a pouch or pocket and dropped on the floor. Simply sew a "leash" to the item, then attach the other end to the quilt, so it can still be taken in and out of a pocket but retrieved by pulling on the "leash" if it falls.
  • Items may be themed for women, men, or unisex.
