Service Alert: Libby Card Verification Issue & Workaround

If you are stuck in this loop, you can bypass it using the OverDrive website:

1. Find the lending network: In the Libby app, tap the card icon next to your title or hold to see which partner library network owns the copy (MVLC, Minuteman, C/WMARS, etc.).
2. Borrow via the website: Visit that network's OverDrive website in a web browser, sign in with your card, and borrow or place your hold directly on the site.
3. Sync your app: Reopen the Libby app, navigate to your Shelf, and tap Sync Shelf (or pull down on the screen to refresh). Your borrowed title will appear and download normally.

If you need assistance borrowing a title, please contact library staff at the circulation or reference desk.

Nancy Dumont retired!

Our wonderful Children's Library Assistant, Nancy Dumont, has decided to retire! Her last day with us will be April 10. We are so sorry to lose her bright, cheerful face, which everyone saw first when entering the library! A beloved favorite of Groton families and children, she will be greatly missed! Her enormous heart, ready laugh, and genuine joy in serving the community's parents and children will never be forgotten.

The daffodils are out behind the library!

We are one of the first places in Groton to see daffodils pop up and they are out now! Come and enjoy this bright and cheerful harbinger of spring!
