A reminder that the library will be CLOSED next Monday, Feb. 21, for the
President's Day holiday.

Thursday, the after school program will meet as usual ...... but next week is
school vacation week, and we will NOT meet on 2/24.
However, Friday Storytime continues at 10 am .......... preschoolers on
vacation are welcome to join us!

Thursday, Feb. 24, the book group meets at 1 pm to discuss the book "Decline
and Fall" by Evely Waugh. There's still plenty of time to read it and join in.

A limited number of tax instruction booklets have (finally) arrived -----
some 1040, 1040 EZ and 1040 A. We do not have the forms, but can download and
print them pretty easily, or you can pick one up at the South Strafford P.O.

We are hoping to start replacing some older, classic children's VHS movies
with DVD's (some Disney, Charlotte's Webb, Anne of Green Gables, ET, Old
Yeller, etc. etc.) If anyone has some DVD's that they no longer use and you
might want to donate or sell inexpensively to the library, please let us
know !! It would be much appreciated.

The library has a new magazine: "Budget Travel". It was offered as a freebie
to a local family and they were kind enough to think of the the Morrill
Library.
