The Winter 2008-09 edition of MCL Notes is now online.  It has news, info on all our programs from now through February, and more.  (I won’t spoil it for you.)  You can also sign up to receive the newsletter by email.  It comes out quarterly.

Enjoy!

Thank you to all who have visited and supported the library this year. We would like to extend our thanks and appreciation and a small holiday blessing to you:

For food in a world where many walk in hunger
For friends in a world where many walk alone
For faith in a world where many walk in fear
We give thanks, O Lord.

From all of us here at the library we wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving!

Tomorrow and Wednesday morning, we are having the front foyer ceiling painted. They process requires a lift which will block all access to the Library through the front door. We will have the grates open but the doors locked with the stairs taped off. Please follow the signs to the Amherst street door or the children’s room door. When the painter finishes for the day we will reopen the front doors.

Many thanks for your patience.

In honor of Veteran’s Day, Hippo Press and the New Hampshire Aviation Musuem are showing a silent film called Wings tonight in the library auditorium.

From the press release:

‘Wings’ which won the very first Academy Award for Best Picture, is generally recognized as one of the greatest achievements of the silent film era. This screening is free and open to the public. Donations will be encouraged, with all proceeds used to benefit the NH Aviation Historical Society’s activities. This movie is sponsored by the NH Aviation Historical Society and the Hippo Press.

The library is hosting the event, but not directly sponsoring it. The film begins at 5:30 p.m. Admission is free, but donations will go toward the aviation museum. For more information, please contact NH Aviation Historical Society at 669-4820.
