Well, here it is, May and I think we can say we've made it through another winter....now if the sun would only shine more than a couple of minutes so the flowers have a chance to bloom and grow.  And not just the flowers but our vegetable gardens as well.  We have a really fun program about Sherlock Holmes this month and  the Children's department is excited about their line up of great events including a sensory storytime for families with children on the Autism spectrum.  Stop by for a chat, we'd love to tell you about all our digital resources so you can borrow online from anywhere in the state...Yup, it's all happening here!
All About Sherlock
  Monday May 20 6:30pm
 
Sherlock Holmes novels have been around for a long time and now there is even more to know about the characters and other facets of this intriguing series.  Robert Fritsch will be here to tell us about Arthur Conan Doyle, his writings, and even touch on the many tv series and movies that  have featured Holmes'  characters.  This will be a fun event including audience participation, so bring your enthusiasm and be prepared to have a great time.

Order Ebooks from all over Massachusetts

As of this month, Methuen card holders are eligible to use their MVLC library cards to borrow eBooks and audiobooks  books from all the other networks in Massachusetts.  If you can't find something you like in our MVLC catalog, check out the other networks.  Using your Libby ap for Overdrive, you can search those networks and enter your card into those systems for access to loads of new material.  For assistance with this, or for questions about it call the Reference Department 978 686-4080 x13
