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!

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.
