Wildlife Encounters returns to Madbury Town Hall
Thursday, July 12, 10:30
It's always the most popular event of the summer so don't miss it!

themed program this year is Libraries Rock! Children, teens, and adults are all invited to sign up during the month of June and and enter to win raffle prizes.

Here's a complete Summer Reading calendar for kids.

Summer Reading Isn't Just for Kids!
Join the Best Book Challenge
2018 is almost half over and so the Best Books of 2018 (so far) lists are beginning to appear. We've got sixteen of those titles displayed --nine fiction, seven nonfiction--and now we challenge you to read at least one of them and join us at 6:30 Monday evening, July 30, to share thoughts and impressions.

Here's our Best Books (so far) list .

Where Will the New Library Be?
A new sign on Town Hall Road reveals all!
The new library will be located in the wooded area between the current library

and Town Hall. But where exactly? It will be set back from this sign and away from the road. Parking will be in an enlarged Town Hall lot. We will update you regularly as we go through the summer, preparing, we hope, for groundbreaking this fall.

New Furniture for the Children's Room
New DVD display thanks to a generous donation from ORPP!
Thanks to a generous grant from the Oyster River Parents of Preschoolers and from Madbury's Wentworth Family Trust, we have purchased several n

ew browsing units for picture books, board books, and visual media. These are squeezed into our current space but will be perfect in the more spacious room planned for our new library. Stop in and take a look!

We will keep you posted on building plans as we look toward breaking ground in the fall.
See our newest brochure and take a look at a detailed timeline of the project.
