And the snow just keeps on coming....Here at the library we're happy to set you up with books and videos to get you through those long cold snow days.  And when we may need to close for the weather, we are always available to you online.  We have ebooks to download, music to download and now, through Overdrive, we have streaming videos too.  Check out the Calendar of Events to find fun children's program for vacation.  There's something happening for all ages this month at the library. 

See you soon,  

Nevins Memorial Staff

February 25 7pm, the Nevins Library is hosting a program that will be of interest to both photography buffs and history lovers.

As part of our series on creativity, Methuen resident Bob Lussier will speak Wednesday, February 25th, at 7:00 on his work as a  photographer and specifically on "Preserving History Through Photography." As he discusses his personal journey to the realization of the importance of photographing the local mills, he will encourage you to think of how you can use your interests (children, garden, pets) to fuel your inner photographer. He will be presenting examples of his work and will also answer technical questions about photography. For more information or to register for this workshop please call the Reference Desk at 978-686-4080 ext 12,

 Cook Book Club - February 17 - 7pm - with Pat Graham 

We have a new and very different book group for you to join!  On Tuesday February 17th at 7pm we will hold an organizational meeting for our new Cookbook Club.  This group will be organized around selecting and reviewing cookbooks in the Library's collection.  Each month we will select a cookbook and each member will choose recipes from that book.  During the month, each member will try their recipe at home, and tweak and perfect it if they wish.  At the next meeting members bring samples of their recipes and share their tips and tricks for making it easier or healthier, talk about new recipes and discuss cooking and baking.  The group will pick a new book, new recipes, and start over again!  You will have an opportunity to learn new recipes, meet new friends and sample lots of good food!   The group will meet one Tuesday night each month.  For more information about this new group, please contact Pat Graham at 978-686-4080 ext 16.
