We're Branching Out...with Our Reading!

It might not surprise some of our patrons, that the staff of Falmouth Memorial Library really enjoys reading. So, in an effort to better serve our patrons and to expand our own horizons, the staff has been participating in genre studies. So far, we've read mysteries, literary fiction, science fiction and romance. Next time you're in, ask us what we're reading. And check out our book displays. This week we're highlighting the genre possibilities!
