On the Move!

O.k, we're not really going anywhere, but we've moved around the work stations at our Circulation Desk. Increased usage of the library has created the need for additional work stations. Now you can check out at two computer stations and returns have moved down the desk to the end. Check out the picture above . The computer under the Returns sign is now another check out station and where access to the public computers is given out. Please be patient while we get our signs moved around! We have posted smaller printed signs to help us all. Please visit us soon!

It's Time for our Annual Spring Clean Up

Please join us on Saturday, April 25th 9am to noon as we clean up the gardens and lawn around the library. We'll bring the coffee, juice and donut holes if you bring your rakes and gloves! It's a great way to spend the morning with your family and library staff. We need to sweep the walkways, rake up the lawn and prune some plants.

We hope you'll join us.

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.
