Hey, Where's the Request Button?

Many of our patrons have noticed a change in our online requesting service. There's no Request Button!
Falmouth Memorial Library participates in the state-wide delivery service which has been temporarily stopped due to loss of service. Please refer to the Portland Press Herald's front page story from Friday, July 17th's issue for additional information.

We all miss this great service and appreciate everyone's understanding while the staff @ FML deals with this issue.

The staff can still place holds on items owned by Falmouth Memorial Library for our patrons, please call us at 781-2351 or e-mail @ library@falmouth.lib.me.us!

Did You Miss Library Sundae?

Library Sundae was a fun event, the sun was shining and the breezes were gentle! Remember to check out our library event calendar and you won't miss another event.

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!!!
