Curator in Chief Michael Frank will share this collection of efforts that capture (or try to capture) the likenesses of politicians, favorite entertainers, or historic figures. Some of these pieces have accidentally ended up portraying faces we recognize.

Once you register you will get a link via email to access the program via Zoom.

We need your help to provide free, private, flexible, and individualized instruction to adults in the community who want to learn to speak and read English, or are struggling with basic reading and language comprehension.

You’ll make a great tutor if you have some extra time to give back, are over eighteen years old, or like to connect with others and learn about new cultures.

Information sessions dates:

These sessions will be in person here at the Nevins Library, but, if you would prefer to do the orientation from home, or you have any other questions, please feel free to contact Grace at 978-686-4080 x32 or LitVolMeth@gmail.com

Mah Jongg is returning to the library!

We've missed these fun games just like you, and are very excited to bring this back to the library once a month. We will meet on the first Tuesday of the month, starting May 3rd at 1pm.

The library has the games and will have a limited number of scoring cards for people to use. If players want to have their own, they can be purchased from the National Mah Jongg League. The new 2022 cards will begin shipping this month.

Please join us for this fun game - all skill levels are welcome!

Come Support the Friends of the Nevins Library by having a fun day at Launch Trampoline Park in Methuen.

April 20th from 12PM to 4pm - 96A Milk St, Methuen, MA

The Friends will also be at the Life-Size Candy Land Game Children's special event. Having a “Chill Out” ice cream fundraiser. Make sure that you stop by and enjoy a very tasty way to help support the programs and initiatives you enjoy here at the library.

We have lots of spring-themed programs this month – not to mention our special Life-Size Candy Land Game that we’re offering during April vacation! And after you’ve played the game, be sure to stop by the Friends of the Library’s “Chill Out” ice cream fundraiser – a very tasty way to help support the programs and initiatives you enjoy here at the library.

This month we also begin a new program series for our youngest patrons and their parents, “Peaceful Baby with Sheryl White”: this eight-week program covers various approaches to strengthening the connection between caregivers and babies, including infant massage, baby sign language, relaxation techniques, and insights into infants’ development.

We’ve noticed quite an uptick in children signing up for our 1000 Books Before Kindergarten challenge, and kids love posing for photos in front of our readers’ rainbow to show their amazing progress! We are happy to see so many caregivers and children enjoying reading together and laying a strong foundation for children’s future success as readers and learners. Come by the Children’s Department to learn more about this fun and enriching opportunity!

As ever, we’ll also have our usual variety of preschool programs, storytimes (including a bilingual program), science sessions, LEGO and game programs, and craft clubs – keep an eye on the Children’s Department calendar and Facebook page to learn about these and other upcoming programs!

Happy April, and Happy Reading!
