The library has a NOOK available for checkout. Come in and ask the librarians about our eReader borrowing agreement. We have 11 books available on the nook, including V is for Vengeance, The Affair, Red Mist, The Drop, Lost December, The Best of Me, Unbroken, Zero Day, Kill Alex Cross, The Help, and Explosive Eighteen.

 Berlin Middle School  and any interested children can meet at the library to discuss a book on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 8 PM - the new book for 2012 is Holes by Louis Sachar. Sixth graders at Berlin School will receive extra credit for attending. The dates for the discussion are: 2/1, 2/8, 2/15, 2/29 – not 2/22.

Any interested artists, who have artwork or photographs that they would like to display at the library, can call the library at 658-2927. We have wall space to display your art and would love to hear from you. There is no charge to display it here.

 

 Art In The Library

The book club will meet on February 7th @ 8PM to discuss the book:
