The library will be closed this coming Monday May 31st in observance of the Memorial Day Holiday. No materials will be due that day as a result. We will reopen for business on Tuesday June 1st at 9am.  All of us are eternally grateful to all who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country.

The library is pleased to once again be able to sponsor a Waterford Youth Baseball team this spring.  We got a young squad this year, but we’re hearing good things about their progress on the diamond. And win or lose we look forward to welcoming them here to the library for a celebration of their season on June 11th. Next game is Tuesday May 25th!

Fast on the heels of our winning the Harlan Coben contest, we are very proud of Library Trustee Michael Marchese, who won a 2009 Library Trustee of the Year award last evening at the SALS Annual Meeting.  Mike has been a Library Trustee for ten years and has contributed in myriad ways to the success of the library. And he’s coming back for more folks, Mike will be running for a third term on June 2nd.

You may notice that one of the buttons that help navigate users around our webpages has been changed from Downloadable Audiobooks to Download Audiobooks AND ebooks! We have recently begun offering our customers access to a small but soon to grow collection of mostly non-fiction ebooks.  They can be downloaded and read on your computer or transferred to certain portable eReaders, such as the Nook or Sony’s Reader.  They are NOT compatible with Amazon’s Kindle or the new Apple iPad however. You’ve heard about eBooks, read about them perhaps, well now is an opportunity to try them out, thanks to your local public library!
