The Wednesday night film for December is "Guardians of the Galaxy," the sci-fi, adventure film based on the Marvel comic books. It was a huge hit in the theaters, so we decided to give you two chances to view it at the Library. On Wednesday December 10th at 6:30pm and again on Saturday December 13th at 2pm. The film's run time is 121 minutes. This film is rated PG-13. The Friends of the Library will be selling popcorn for $1 a bag at the evening performance. 

The Friends of the Dover Public Library held a very successful book sale in October and November. Over $7000 was raised to support library collections and programs. Thank you to everyone who donated and bought. A big thank you also to all the volunteers.

IDream Books 

We recently added a new enhanced content feature to our catalog that links to the I Dream Books website. I Dream Books is a book discovery tool with ratings and recommendations based on critically reviewed books from reliable print and select web reviewers. If a book in our catalog has enough reviews you might see a blue cloud, which is a recommended book, or a gray cloud which is not recommended. Click on the cloud icon to open the book's record and get more information. It is fairly limited due to the ever decreasing outlets for book reviews, but worth adding to your mental toolbox of ways to discover notable books. Their tagline is "Never read a crappy book again!" Go to their website idreambooks.com for more book suggestions.
