Closed For Election Day

Due to the requirement to provide "unfettered access" to the Knowlton Auditorium polling place, the Babcock Library will be closed on Tuesday, February 5, 2008 for the primary election. See you again on February 6th!

Curtain Cut-ups

Some of the Friends of the Babcock Library have found a new and innovative way to repurpose the old stage curtain from the Knowlton Auditorium (beneath the library). They use patterns to cut, stitch and sew pieces of the burgundy curtain into wreaths, stuffed animals, and other gift items. See the picture here for a booth the Friends made to display the products of their creativity! For a larger view, click on the picture.

Playaway Swap

The library has entered into a swap arrangement for Playaway ebook players. We have 6 new players in this month. Every 3 months we’ll swap for another batch. Playaways are compact devices (3 1/2 in. x 2 in. x 5/8 in.) that take a AAA battery and operate like a tiny cassette player, but with no tape. Use your own earphones to listen. See our display in the library for titles we have on hand right now.

Closed for MLK Day

The Babcock Library will be closed on Monday, January 21, 2008 in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
