The Douglas Way (May 23)

Library news & updates

>>> CHECK OUT THESE HOT NEW ITEMS! <<<

This Weekend is Library Weekend!

The party starts at Douglas Orchard and Farm tomorrow (Friday) night at 7:30. There'll be music, novelty ice cream, and a GIANT FIRE! Farmer Nick will be lighting a huge burn pile. BYOB, be responsible, and enjoy good company for a good cause. They are asking for donations of $5 for adults and $2 for children 12 and under to benefit the Library.

Then, Saturday morning from 9:00 to noon, the Friends of the Library are hosting a Book & Plant Sale ! We have a ton of books that need homes and you can pay whatever you want for them. Please come take them! This is a stock-clearing event, so everything has to go or we have to haul it away donation or recycle drop-offs. On top of books, the Friends also have loads of plants for sale and free mini-moss cups for all. Don't know what mini-moss is? Come find out Saturday morning. And take an armload of books with you.

We will be closed on Monday for Memorial Day, but you can still enjoy literary pursuits by perusing all the books you pick up from the Friends sale on Saturday (or check out from the Library collection, of course).

I hope to see you this weekend!

Thanks for Reading,

Justin Snook

Summer Reading Programs will be here before you know it! We have a really awesome line-up this summer--check out our Summer Reading page for the schedule. Three of our programs will actually be at the Municipal Center Gym this year as the Library isn't large enough, and one (The Magic Wings Butterfly Show) is a joint event with the Adult Social Center to foster connections between kids and senior citizens.

Don't forget to sign your kids up to log their reading so they can be eligible for prizes!

The Blackstone Valley Libraries also have a thing going on this summer where every library embodies some sort of solar body and kids can 'travel between planets' with an inter-library passport. We will be proudly representing Uranus!
