The Babcock Library was pleased to present puppeteer Roberto Maranhao for a special Puppet Showcase in the Knowlton Auditorium beneath the library on Saturday, April 26 from 7:15 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Moving On

I have accepted the position of Electronic Resources Coordinator with the Connecticut State Library effective May 12. In that position I will be negotiating for electronic content on iCONN, the statewide digital library. My last day at the Babcock Library will be Friday, May 9. I am more than grateful to the library trustees, staff, friends, and users who have supported and encouraged me during my time as Library Director. I sincerely wish the best to them all.

Many thanks to the Friends for hosting this fun event! And thanks to Nord Yakovleff for permitting me to post his pictures.
