Note from the Director
We want to express our sincere appreciation to all who have participated in “National Love Your Library” month by sharing your thoughts on why you love the Library. Our "I ♥ HTFL" banner is covered with your personal Valentines! We have enjoyed reading your notes and we feel the love!
Our library’s Fine Amnesty Week has been a smashing success! There is still time to stop by the Library to return your overdue library materials and avail fine amnesty - our Fine Amnesty Week ends on Sunday, February 20.
We are beginning to offer in-person programs in our building. There will be safety protocols in place along with prior registration and limited attendees. Starting March 7 we will have in-person teen programs. These daily, drop-in programs do not require registration and will be held after-school on the second floor in the Hub. Beginning March 25, we will start weekly “Friday Matinees” of Oscar nominated movies in the Community Room. The first screening will be of the film Belfast followed by a discussion among attendees. We will also offer in-person “Tech Time with a Librarian” a program to provide technical help and one-on-one assistance on services and collections such as Libby, Hoopla, Rokus, and e-readers. This program will be held on March 29 at 7pm in the Living Room on the first floor. We encourage you to register early for these programs as space will be limited. We are also in the process of bringing back our popular children in-person storytimes. Please check our website for more information and potential start dates and registration process.
In the meantime, if you are looking for a way to get in touch with your creative side, we encourage you to check out our popular virtual programs “Cookbook Club” held monthly on the 2nd Monday at 6:30pm, “Tea and Stitch” held weekly on Fridays from 10am to Noon, and “Quilting Group” held bimonthly on the 2nd and 4th Thursday at 2pm - 3:30pm. We also invite you to join our Facebook group “Creating with HTFL” to share your latest creation with us. Click here to visit the group on Facebook. Please visit our website for more information about all of our virtual and in-person programs.
We are grateful for your support and we look forward to seeing you in the Library soon!
Warm regards,
Sukrit Goswami, Library Director
