- Recycling Program
- Recycle Your Print Cartridges!
- The Durr Branch is participating in a fundraising project with the help of an inkjet recycling company called Empties4Cash. Empty inkjet cartridges can be recycled and remanufactured. The library will receive funds for each cartridge turned in. This will directly benefit our library and our environment!
You can help! Next time you have an empty cartridge, don't throw it away. Just put it in a Ziploc bag or the original cartridge box and bring it to the Durr Branch. We have a special recycle box next to our Reference Desk.
Bring in your empty cartridges to help reduce pollution, save energy and help your library raise additional funds. If everyone helps, we can make a difference!

GALAXY QUEST (1999)

They're wallowing in despair and at each other's throats until aliens known as Thermians arrive and, having mistaken the show for fact and consequently modeling their entire culture around it, take them into space to save them from the genocidal General Sarris and his armada.

The library will receive funds for each cartridge turned in. This will directly benefit our library and our environment!
You can help! Next time you have an empty cartridge, don't throw it away. Just put it in a Ziploc bag or the original cartridge box and bring it to the Durr Branch. We have a special recycle box next to our Reference Desk.
Bring in your empty cartridges to help reduce pollution, save energy and help your library raise additional funds. If everyone helps, we can make a difference!

- Love is Eternal; Mrs. Lincoln
- Donna McCreary (author of Lincoln's Table and Fashionable First Lady) presents her one-woman show depicting Mary Lincoln as the First Lady. The Civil War is nearly over, and Mrs. Lincoln defends herself and her husband's political views while discussing the devastation the war has brought to their family. Just as the war ripped apart the country and its families, it also ripped apart the Lincoln family. Many of Mary's siblings supported the Confederacy, and Mary fell victim to criticism by politicians and reporters because of her family. This show takes Mary through the end of the war, but not yet to the assassination. We leave her in a happy moment - a moment of triumph for herself, her husband, and their nation. Books will be sold and signed as time permits.
