Don't want to go out in the cold? Download ebook, audiobooks, magazines, and more on our Hoopla Digital and Libby Overdrive download services.
Time to stock up! Current forecasting estimates somewhere between 1 and, well, 10? 20? 30? inches of snow Thurs-Sat. And the library will be closed Fri-Mon. Be sure to get all the library books, DVDs, backpacks you'll need. Maybe grab a jigsaw puzzle from the puzzle exchange.
We are Fine Free...but not Fin Free! Donations to the @friends_wpl to help pay for the weekly tank maintenance are greatly appreciated. Next time you are in and stop to say hello to the fish, consider dropping a donation into the collection box to the left of the tank.
...and /occasionally/ our librarians get carried away and throw in some extra letters in words just for the fun of it. For the spelling challenged, dictionaries are filed in 423.1
Painters at work! For the first time since we opened the expanded library 21 years ago the Reference/Non-Fiction Area is being painted! Please be patient as the painters may occassionally need to block off areas and ask for staff help in reaching materials.
