has received numerous reports of debit card fraud in the last few days. This has been traced to a “skimmer device” that was placed inside of a local gas pumps credit/debit card reader. The police department located the skimmer and removed it. There was no external indication that the pumps credit card reader had been tampered with. When a person pays for gas at the pump using a debit card and a PIN number, the skimmer records this information and relays it to the criminal who then clones the debit card and can then use your account, with your PIN number, at AT M s , b u s i n e s s e s a n d o t h e r locations. A tip to help prevent this activity is to use the debit card as a “credit card” at the pump and then enter the ZIP code of the billing address. This will help limit your exposure to fraudulent activity. You should monitor your debit card account for any unusual activity in the coming months and if you locate suspicious activity, contact your bank to verify it is fraudulent activity. if the suspicious activity is definitely fraudulent, please file a report with the police department.

By Jennifer and Lindsay Hinshaw We are so excited to introduce Liberty’s very first Little Free Library! If reading is an important part of your life, you will love the Little Free Library. Sharing in the love of reading and literacy drove the development of Little Free Libraries all across America, and now Liberty has their very own. We started this project by finding and repurposing a metal newspaper box which serves as the “library.” A special thanks to the Burlington Times News for the newspaper box donation. With a little hard work and a lot of creativity, we transformed the newspaper box into the Little Free Library we are very proud to share with our community. We hope you will all take advantage of this free opportunity. After all, YOU are the ones who will make Liberty’s Little Free Library a success! Using the Little Free Library is simple. Community members will find the Little Free Library (the repurposed newspaper box) at the entrance of Freedom Park. Once there, we encourage you to do one of three things: 1-Place one of your used books in the box as a donation for someone else to enjoy. *Remember, this is a donation, so you will not get the book back. 2-Take one of the donated books from the box and enjoy. 3-Donate a book! Take a book! Place one of your own used books in the box as a donation and then take a previously donated book from the box to enjoy. Books you borrow from the Little Free Library are yours to keep forever, but you may also return them to the Little Free Library after you’ve finished reading. If you have great books at home collecting dust, donate them to the Little Free Library! Simply place them in the box for someone else to discover. You may introduce someone to their new favorite book!
