Summer Reading

Today is the kick-off for the Falmouth Memorial Library's Summer Reading program! The library was packed this morning with families signing up for the Childrens' Summer Reading program! Don't forget, all participants who want to attend the Magic Show tomorrow, June 23rd, you need to bring in your reading log. The Magic Show is open to children participating in the Summer Reading Program.

Adults, you don't need to be left out. We have a Summer Reading Program for you as well. You don't need to sign up, but if you want to be eligible for the weekly prize drawing, drop your reading list into the beehive near the circulation desk. Celebrate Creativity this summer at Falmouth Memorial Library.

"Be Creative" Programming

Did you miss Beekeeping with Erin MacGregor-Forbes? We hope to have her back to discuss the ins and outs of beekeeping.

Magazine Swap

Do you have a collection of current magazines at home? Are they stacking up after you read them? Looking for a new home for them? Bring them to the library's Magazine Swap Room where others can share them. The Magazine Swap room is located off from the Audio Room. Used, current magazines can have their lives extended here at Falmouth Memorial Library!

Civics Test

I just received a box of Civics Flash Cards from U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services. How do you think you'd do trying to pass a Civics test?

Try answering these few questions (pulled from random)

1. What is the name of the Speaker of the House of Representatives now?

2. We may elect a President for how many years?

3. What are two rights of everyone living in the United States?

Think you've got the answers? Post them here!

Newbery Award Committee

Congratulations to our Mrs. C, FML's own Children' s librarian! She just received notification this afternoon that she's been elected to the 2011 Newbery Award Committee. (note the telephone message in her hand).

We're all so proud of her!!!

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!
