Scanning Party April 9 We join with the Plainville Historical Commission again on Monday, April 9 from 4:30 - 7pm to collect your Plainville photos. Bring in up to 10 photographs of Plainville people, events or things and we scan them in order to add them to our Digital History Database. A copy is also held with the Plainville Historical Commission to save our local history - one photograph at a time. Permission forms and forms to tell us about your photos are available prior to the event HERE Moving things around We just moved audiobooks over to a new area on the opposite side of the library. We now have a seperate section for just Nonfiction audio and the next isle over is all the Fiction audiobooks. We have lots of room to expand our collection now to meet the demand. All of the Nonfiction video is now at the end of the video section (where the audiobooks used to be). Look here for exercise videos, instructional video, and educational math and science videos. And now we have more room for TV series and feature films on DVD! Library discard sale Starting at 10am on Saturday, April 21 - 27, during regular library hours, library discards will be for sale in the conference room for $1 each. Most are nonfiction or large print titles. There will be a $5 bag sale on Saturday April 28 ONLY from 10am - 2pm. We provide the bag - you fill it for $5. And our favorite bubble blower might be outside as long as the weather is nice, so make sure to beep!
