You might not be aware that your library makes available some tremendous independent films each and every month. Thanks to our subscription to Film Movement. As they see it…“Too many great films are never released widely. Despite critical acclaim and major awards, millions of film fans across the country never get the chance to see them. Film Movement was created to change that. Film Movement scours the world’s top film festivals each year including Cannes, Sundance, Toronto and New York to select the best, award-winning films from among thousands of qualified entries.” 
So if you’re a fan of smart, edgy, and potentially important film-making, you have another reason to visit our library!

Don’t forget that author Steven Sherrill will be visiting the library this evening to talk about his latest book, “The Locktender’s House”. Perfect way to spend part of a rainy summer evening. Program begins at 6:30pm. Borders Books in Clifton Park will be selling copies of the book.

All roads (and waterways) lead to Waterford this weekend for the 6th Annual Heritage Day festivities. It all kicks off this evening with a Concert Under the Stars featuring Kevin & Kate McKrell.  Showtime is 7pm and the concert will be followed by Fireworks at 9pm. Food and refreshments will be available for purchase. The rain location will be the Waterford Civic Center on 3rd St.  On Saturday Aug. 9th, Heritage Day will commence with an antique fire engine parade through the village of Waterford, followed by an old fashioned Firemen’s muster at Garrett Field. Complete details can be found here.

We recently implemented a small but significant change to our reserve policy for new books. Patrons from any library in the SALS/MVLS system can now place reserves for our new books. The catch is they will have to come to Waterford to pick them up. We won’t ship out new materials via Interlibrary Loan.  So if you can’t wait to read the latest bestseller from your favorite author and don’t mind a short trip to Waterford, place a reserve and come on by!

New books and other materials hit the shelves here at the library on a regular basis. An easy way to keep up with what’s new is to visit the “New Stuff” section of the on-line catalog.

On Monday August 11th at 6:30pm, noted author Steven Sherrill will visit the library to read and discuss his provocative new work of psychological suspense, “The Locktender’s House“.  Described as a “artfully written literary narrative, that must be labeled a splendid horror story” written by a “blunt gutsy writer, with a gift”.  Copies of the book will be available for sale and signature. Seating is limited for this event, so please contact the library to register at 237-0891.
