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!
Announcing Our New StoryWalk!
It’s official! The Newbury Town Library StoryWalk has been completed!
Our new StoryWalk is a fun, literacy-based installation set up on our beautiful library grounds. The first story features the Caldecott Medal-winning book, Owl Moon by Jane Yolen, and has a music component. As you stroll the StoryWalk, you’ll stop at displays holding pages of a book, following a story from beginning to end. This is a great way for children and adults to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time.

The Slackers Book Club
When? Whenever! Slackers is a self-service book club and open to all readers. There are no Zoom meetings to attend, no people to talk to, no questions to answer! Maybe you’ll love the book, maybe you’ll hate the book, heck maybe you won’t even finish the book – that’s ok! The Slackers Book Club is judgement-free (and couldn’t we all use a little more of that these days?)!
January Slackers are reading “Breakfast with Buddha” by Roland Merullo. We have multiple copies here at the library, and on Overdrive – give us a call to request your copy at 978-465-0539!
