Planning a vacation or staycation? Don’t forget that the library offers wifi hotspots for checkout, so you can stay connected on the go. They are part of our “Library of Things,” which includes bicycles and ukuleles! We also offer museum passes for free or reduced-fee admission to local attractions such as zoos, museums, and state parks. Ask at the circulation desk or call 508-324-2700, ext. 2, for information.

The Knitting Club meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 2:30 pm. Walk-ins are always welcome!
