June 1, 2009…..Lima Public Library director Scott Shafer today announced additional cuts to library staffing, hours and materials that will take place effective July 1, 2009. “Our funding has taken a $590,000 hit this year, resulting in a $366,861.25 shortfall that we need to remedy” said Shafer. “We have no choice but to cut staff and materials in order to survive as an institution.” Nearly all part-time staff will be laid-off.

Save the Libraries! What does the library have to do with antiquing?
Well, I love getting a good deal, and the library is definitely the best antiquing deal in town.
Where else can you get so much good current timely information and news about the antiques business; the trends, the auctions and shows, be alerted to repros, read about record prices, read many price guides and reference books, and even use their computer to go online.
Here's a few of the periodicals I read at my library:
If you're not using your library, you are really missing out. Think of all the money you don't have to invest, and all the knowledge you gain -- for free -- that will help you to make better acquisitions, improve your collection, help you identify and sell your item. It's like they are giving you money. Like I said, it's the best deal in town!

My name is Marianne, and I am a collecting addict! And I don't want to be cured. I love everything about antiquing, collecting, and selling. I'm a born-and-raised California Girl, which changed when, after visiting hubby's family back here in Ohio, we got hooked on antiques.
