Ring in the New Year – 2019 is Here!
It’s time to think about making New Year’s resolutions!
If your new year’s “wishes” include reading and learning more, enjoying better entertainment, and saving money, we are here to help!
Ventress Library offers many great free services that are available to you as a library card holder. Visit
www.ventresslibrary.org
today to learn how to access local and national newspapers, including the
New York Times, Boston Globe
along with locally-focused papers

You can also borrow e-books and e-audio books to read on your iPad, Kindle, tablet, cell phone, and/or your computer, all free!! For your entertainment needs, indulge in Hoopla, Acorn TV, Indie flix, and RB digital magazines – all without stepping foot in the library! So now you may ask, how do I do this?

So many library resources are available online to access anywhere, but we do hope that you will also begin 2019 by visiting the library in person. Here you will meet our knowledgeable and welcoming staff in a warm, relaxing environment where you can enjoy a cup of coffee and browse from our collection of 1,000s of books, DVDs, magazines, newspapers and CDs.
