Thanks to all who participated. Every reader is a winner to us! Introducing Automatic Renewal of library materials
Posted July 10, 2019 Starting July 1, you might have noticed a new feature in our catalog and circulation system: physical materials (not downloadables) are being automatically renewed. This should prove to be a time-saver during the busy summer months and after! Patrons with email addresses in their records will be notified by email when an auto-renewal attempt is made. The email will list all items due on that date, whether the item was renewed, and if it wasn't, the reason why. If you have questions or comments about auto-renewal, let us know! Want to help plan the library's birthday?
Posted June 7, 2019 The Board of Trustees is looking for a few good people to help us plan a birthday party for the new library, whose grand opening was in February 2010. Do you love a good party? Have a sense of how the community might celebrate this milestone? Have event planning experience? Drop a note to the library director at kcollins@cwmars.org. First meeting will likely be in September 2019. Taijifit has a new home at the Library!
Posted November 1, 2018 We're pleased to announce a new partnership with the Council on Aging. Bolton's Taijifit classes for adults are now held at the Library every Thursday morning from 10-10:45 a.m. What's Taijifit? It's a cross between fitness, Tai Chi, and meditation. Taijifit benefits both mind and body, reduces stress, and improves balance and coordination. The class is open to adults including seniors, and costs $3 per session payable to certified instructor Kristin Higgins.
