UPCOMING EVENTS
Thank you!!
The Friends of the Townsend Public Library would
like to thank everyone wo donated plants to our very successful, Second
Annual Friends of the Townsend Public Library Plant Sale. We
would especially like to thank Mahoney's Garden Center for their
generous donations.
Also we would like to thank the volunteers, including the
National Honor Society students, who worked on the day of the sale
setting up, selling plants and cleaning up. We couldn't have done
it without you!
Thank you all and we look forward to having another
wonderful sale next year.

Autobiography of a Stray by Ann
M. Martin, Peter
and the Starcatchers by Dave
Barry and Ridley Pearson, The World According to
Humphrey by Betty G. Birney,

Interesting Boy by Jeanne
Birdsall.
Thank you to all students who participated.
Anyone who hasn't had a chance to read these books, but
would like to, can check them out at the library.
Movies @ your librarytm.
Are you going through movie withdrawal because the
Movie Gallery has closed? Visit the Townsend Public
Library to get your fix.
We have about 2,100 movies on both DVD and VHS for adults
and children. Keep in mind, we are able to keep more older movies
on the shelf than video stores can, so you can watch your old
favorites. But that's not all we have! We also buy the
latest releases.
If you can't find the movie you are looking for, ask us
for help. We can usually find it in our 150+ library network, and
place a hold on it for you. We can also teach you how to place
your own holds from home.
When the movie you requested arrives at the Townsend
Public Library, we will call you and you'll have a week to watch the
movie after you've checked it out.
Please check out our movie collection. We are open
Thursdays and Wednesdays 10am-9pm; Thursday 2pm-9pm; Friday 10am-5pm
and Saturday 10am-2pm.
If you have any questions, please contact the Townsend
Public Library at 978-597-1714.
Townsend Public Library
Children's Room Staff seek the public's help.
The staff of the Children's Room of the Townsend Public
Library is asking for donations of new or gently used DVD's. If
you have any that your child has outgrown or doesn't like to watch, we
would be glad to have them. They will either be added to our
collection or put into our Friends of the Library Book Sale.
Thank you very much.
