LIBRARY NEWS

Welcome back, students!

Welcome back to students of every age! We're here to help with any/all school assignments from preschool to college with research, support, and homework help!

September in National Library Card Sign-Up Month!

Get in Your Element this September—sign up for a library card! From borrowing books, ebooks, and museum passes to getting homework help, learning new skills, or attending story time, a library card helps you do more of what you enjoy. A library card is your most important school supply—it's elemental, really—and everyone should have one!

No library card? No problem! Sign up for an MVLC eCard!

Residents who don’t have a library card can register online for a MVLC eCard and get access to our online resources and digital collections immediately! Valid for three years. Upgrade to a full library card at any time at GPL for full access to all library collections and materials!

Thank you to our landscaping rescuers!

Karen and George Brackett generously donated hours of time and labor to weed, prune, and clean-up the library grounds, which it desperately needed! We are so very grateful to you both! For all you do and have done for the town and library! Thank you!
