Celebrate Library Lovers' Month!

"Empowered by Libraries" is a campaign of the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners that encourages library patrons to share their experiences with their local libraries. The commissioners are collecting these stories to support libraries by using these in advocacy efforts at the state legislature.

What's your favorite thing about the library? How has it helped you? What have you gained? Share the value of the David and Joyce Milne Public Library by writing down your story using the cards located at the circulation and reference areas or using the link below!

Prizes for Our Blind Date with a Book!

Throughout the month of February, you can check out a disguised library book using its "pickup line" only! Take a look at the wrapped titles, select a book, and check it out. After reading it, share your "true feelings" about your "date" by March 1st for a chance to win a prize. Who knows, perhaps you'll find true (literary) love!
