Library Director's Message
|
Spring has once again sprung at the MNL! With warmer weather, comes the need to spruce up our beautiful grounds. Please join us on
Saturday, April 21
from 9 a.m. to 12 noon for our annual
Spring Outdoor Clean-Up Day
. As
John Heywood
stated
Many Hands Make Light Work,
and of course – there will be donuts!
As part of our 125
th
Anniversary Year Celebration, we would like to compile your favorite memories of the MNL. Do you have photos or stories to share about fun or poignant times spent at our beloved library? If so, please email them to
[email protected]
.
We will also be scheduling one-on-one conversations for those who would be willing to be recorded. These memories will be compiled in a digital scrapbook for all to share. Volunteers who wish to help with this project – videotaping, compiling, etc., are also invited to send an email to
[email protected]
.
We are considering applying for a grant to offer a series of Art History lectures by Professor Robert Baldwin. If you would be interested in attending this series (it would likely start in late summer/early fall), please take a few minutes
to complete this survey
which will help us in creating the program and our grant application - if the survey indicates that there is sufficient interest. Thank you.
April offers a full calendar of activities and events at the MNL including celebrations of National Library Week, National Poetry Month and
Passport to CT Libraries Month
– we invite you to stop in and stay awhile!
If you have a suggestion, compliment, or question, please feel free to stop by the library or
email me
anytime.

17th Annual Honor Books Event
|
"What are Honor Books?"
These are titles that our librarians have chosen for our collection. You can purchase one (or more!) in honor of a loved one, a friend or anyone special! These titles will become a part of the library's circulating collection.
"What do I get?"
Your purchased title(s) will have a personalized bookplate inserted with your chosen inscription. When the book is ready for circulation, you have the option to be the first person to check it out of the Library. Alternatively, your honoree can be the first person to check out the book.
"Anything else?"
Your purchase of an Honor Book is a tax-deductible donation and displays your commitment to keeping our collection as fresh and current as possible. It's also a thoughtful and unique type of gift for someone. Lastly, your purchase supports a wonderful local and independent bookstore. Wow! That's a win-win-win!
New
this year: online sales and books available in-house at M&NL for your purchasing convenience from April 2-14.

planned giving
. Planned gifts allow donors to continue to support the Mystic & Noank Library after their death, often in a more generous way than what is possible during their lifetime.
By becoming a member of The Maine Society, you will join many others who are a special part of our valued Library community. Your gift will help the Library remain a vibrant, intellectual and important Mystic community resource for another century to come.
Please contact the
Director of Development
