A Common Yarn Continues....
The second meeting of A Common Yarn...will take place on Thursday evening in the Serber Room in the library. We will be meeting from 6pm to 7:30pm and will be discussing the direction the group would like to take in creating knit/crocheted items for local charities. This is a great place to meet other yarn lovers, exchange ideas and reach out to our community. If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know!

DVDs
Our DVD collection is growing. We recently purchased some new DVDs, including several new children's titles. Be on the lookout for these additions!
We are also very appreciative of patrons who have donated previously viewed DVDs to the library. We evaluate donations for the collection and add them, or if we cannot use them, we sell them at our book sales. Do you have any DVDs you purchased, but just never watched? Please consider donating quality films to the library, we're hoping to increase our selection and collection. Thank you!
Did you receive a Netflix promotion at home, advertising its "Top 200" most popular films as chosen by Netflix members? By my count, the library has 84 of these 200 titles available to borrow...not bad for a fledgling collection.

Taxes & Tax Help
The library has received both federal and state short and long tax forms for 2006. Please take only what you need. The IRS is encouraging citizens to e-file and download tax forms over the internet from home, rather than continue with paper filing.
We have not yet received the binder of federal tax forms that can be photocopied.
Unfortunately, Mr. Crane, the tax help volunteer, is not available at our site this year. We heard from AARP that we do not have a replacement. So please do not call the library to make an appointment with Mr. Crane, as we are unable to do so.
Thank you to Mr. Crane for his time, generosity, and help over the years!

Book Groups
The Falmouth Memorial Library sponsors a book discussion group that meets the 2nd Wednesday of the month from 2:00 to 3:30 during the school year except January. This is a great group of readers, welcoming new members. Canadian fiction has been the focus of this group this fall, with some vibrant discussions. We're interested in hearing from you about additional book group ideas.
Do you already belong to a book group? Where do you meet? Might you be interested in meeting at the library instead? Do you have a facilitator or group leader? What genres, titles, authors do you generally read? Are you interested in facilitating a book group at the library?
Please post your ideas to this site, about times, formats, and interests, so that we may improve our service to our patrons.
Thank you for your time and thoughts!

Magazines
Did you know you can borrow back issues of magazines for a week? In the Children's Room, we have several titles that children can borrow, including Kids Discover, which is a very informative & entertaining read. We have Rolling Stone, Mad, Skiing, Road & Track, and Seventeen in our YA area. At the back of the library, we have a comfortable Periodicals Room where you can browse the latest issue of magazines, and then take home back issues. Some great reads include the New Yorker, Harper's, the Nation, Sierra, and Smithsonian. For gardening inspiration, we have Garden Design, People Places Plants, and Organic Gardening. If you like audiobooks, try AudioFile magazine for recommendations.
