Hi Everyone,
This morning I was at the Hastings on Georgia and ran into a Hastings employee (Pilar) I had met through an Amarillo Reads event. Since I was purchasing something for the library, she asked if I had my institutional account card which would give me a 25% discount. As I was filling out the paperwork she said, "You can use this for your own purchases as well. As long as no one abuses it, we don't mind."
Of course I needed to know more...
It turns out that libraries and librarians are included in Hastings' Community Partner Discounts and anyone who works at the library can sign up for a discount card which provides up to 25% off publisher's list price on books, 15% off list price of CDs and 10% off tag price of DVDs.
(An example of abuse would be buying things with your discount and then reselling them.)
If you want to sign up for a discount card, you should do so at the Hastings on Georgia. Go to the book desk and ask for Pilar or Patrick. They both work Mondays and Pilar is usually there until 6 except on Thursdays and Sundays. You will need your drivers license and a letter on library letterhead stating that you do indeed work for the Amarillo Public Library. Donna has graciously agreed to provide such a letter to library employees. So...let me know if you want one and we will get it to you.
Have fun!
Stacy

Two questions - is the card good at all locations, and is it good for periodicals?

The card should work anywhere. I don't know about the periodicals, but you could ask Pilar or Patrick when you go in to sign up.
