This month always feels like a time of renewal, a time to begin again those activities which we had put on hold over the summer break.  Things like school, book groups etc.  Well now its time to get back at it and so our book groups will be gearing up for the season with new discussions and new schedules for the year.  We also have a new book group offering, Non-Fiction group meeting on the 2nd Monday of the month.  As always, there are loads of Children's and YA happenings so take a look for something that you would like.

The Nevins Library is asking your help as we plan to raise science awareness in our community .  As part of a grant process, we need to gather input from our patrons about their interests in science and the prospects for the Library as resource to provide this information.  Please take this short survey to help us be more informed about your interests surrounding STEM (science, technology, engineering and math).
