New!!! Audiobook Downloadables @FML

Have you checked out the new audiobook downloadables now available? All you need is a computer, access to the Internet and a Falmouth Memorial Library card. What could be easier? There is a wide variety of selections, including some for using Apple products, such as the iPod.

The Maine InfoNet Download Library is supported by its member libraries. Explore the growing collection.

You can access the website for downloading from FML's homepage. I would suggest you check out the online tutorial and then the Quick Start Guide. The directions from Overdrive are great and easy. Questions? Ask the staff at the library 781-2351.

This Weekend -- Spring Book Sale!

Join us for our annual Spring Book Sale. There is a sneak peak this evening 4pm to 6pm. This event is free to current Friends of the Falmouth Memorial Library group and costs $5.00 to others.

Tomorrow, Saturday, April 4th the book sale will be open in our Russell Room 9:30am to 5pm. The last two hours on Saturday (3pm to 5pm) are the great A Buck A Bag sale! Bring your own grocery bags and fill them up. I've checked out the selection and there are some really nice books in good shape and tons of paperbacks for .50 cents each.

Beauty and the Books

Visit the library up until March 26th to view all the great donations to this year's Beauty and the Books! There are some very talented artists and craftsmen in the area who have donated their work for the benefit of the Falmouth Memorial Library. And this year, Beauty and the Books is celebrated further with this beautiful fabric banner created by Marsha Clark. Come visit the library in March to put in your bids!
