Friends of the Library Membership renewal drive is underway! Your membership is a vital source of funding for the many wonderful well attended events. In addition, the Friends fund museum passes, equipment such as the new coffee maker in the front lobby, laptops, a new camera and camcorder and much more that make our library one of the best in the area. Please renew your membership. If you are not a member of the Friends of the Library, please click here to join!
The winner of the Kindergarten Backpack is Arielle Viana. The drawing was open to all kids who will be starting kindergarten in the fall and used their own library card to check out a book. Thanks to the Friends of the Library for funding the cool Wilmington Wildcats backpack and the books, school supplies and goodies inside.
Margot Livsey is the next featured author scheduled in the library's author series. Margot Livesey’s latest book, The Flight of Gemma Hardy, was published in 2012 to wide acclaim. This inventive reimagining of the Jane Eyre story was named a best book of 2012 by the New England Independent Booksellers Association. Livesey’s other novels include: The House on Fortune Street, Homework, Criminals, The Missing World, Eva Moves the Furniture, and Banishing Verona.
The library’s Town Crier newspaper site is now only accessible from inside the library, via the public computers or over the wireless. This is only a temporary measure, and we hope to have the site available to all users (outside the library) by August.
To access the site inside the library, simply go to any public computer (or use a laptop over the wireless connection), go to the Research and Learning page, and click “Local newspapers (in the library only)."
