7 NEW Magazines for 2020!
Even though everything may seem to be going digital, we think it’s still enjoyable to flip through a magazine in print. For 2020, we’ve added 7 NEW magazine subscriptions to our regular offerings. Look for these titles in the library or in the catalog in January!
WE ARE OPEN!
The Newbury Town Library is happy to announce that we re-open to the public on Tuesday, June 1, 2021. It has been a difficult year, and exceptionally hard for a number of people. But we have hopes for a wonderful summer as we experience the lessening of restrictions. Thank you for being part of the Newbury Town Library. We value your loyalty and look forward to welcoming you all back. We can’t wait to see you!
Along with re-opening, we have some news hours of operation. Please check them out below.
Adult Summer Reading
This year’s national theme for summer reading is one we’re having a lot of fun with – Tales and Tails. We’ll have dog and cat treats available with your checkouts to honor our PAWSITIVE PATRONS with tails. And of course we’ll share a thematic tale or two. Pickup your Summer Reading card packs anytime this summer. Summer Reading will continue through Friday, Sept., 3, 2021. All participants will receive a prize, and the Grand Prize raffle for a waterproof Kindle will be drawn on Tuesday, September 7, 2021. Happy reading!!
