We received a note from local historical mystery author Susanna Alleyn informing us that she will be interviewed on internet radio this coming Monday Aug. 3rd. The program features female mystery authors and is called Mystery, She Writes .  The interview will be archived and available for later playback as well. Susanna will be visiting the library on Sunday Nov. 1st to talk about her latest book, The Cavalier of the Apocalypse.

If you are one the many who use Facebook to keep track of the busy lives of friends and family, you can now keep up to date with what’s going on at your local library! Simply do a search for the library and become a fan. We will provide information and updates about events and anything else worth knowing about the library. And we encourage you to participate as well, with pictures or comments, or send us a message! We want the library to be where you are, and if you’re on Facebook, well now so are we!

Beginning tonite at 7pm there will be a lecture about the OnRust Project, which involves the building of a replica of one of the earliest European ships built in America. The lecture is sponsored by the Waterford Maritime Historical Society and the Waterford Historical Museum and will take place at the Waterford Visitor’s Center.

To help celebrate the release of the latest Harry Potter movie and of course the birthday of Harry, the library is pleased to once again feature in our display case,  items from the extensive Harry Potter memorabilia collection of Lana Lightfoot.  The display will be up through the month of July and can be seen during regular library hours.

The library will be closed on Saturday July 4th for the Independence Day Holiday. No materials will be due that day. We will reopen on Monday July 6th for normal business hours at 9am. From all of us, have a safe and enjoyable 4th of July celebration!

In addition to today, July 1st being Canada Day it also marks the arrival of summer hours here at the library. Unlike some libraries there is really little change to the normal hours. The changes are on the weekends only, when we close at 1pm on Saturdays instead of 3pm, and we are NOT open at all on Sundays. Otherwise the hours remain the same during the week.  These changes in the weekend hours will remain in effect until after Labor Day Weekend.
