Attention teachers, students, artists, cooks and general magazine lovers!
 
In January, the Amherst Town Library once again will be discarding from our collection older magazines that are currently in storage.
 
Boxes filled with discards will be near the main entrance throughout the month.
 
If there are any specific magazine titles you would like, please give us  a call or email  library assistant, Toni Dinkel, and she will do her best to honor your requests.  We will notify you when the requested materials are available, and ask that you pick them up promptly.

 Greetings!

A big "thank-you" to the wonderful Senora Rowley, who provided lots of learning enjoyment with her "Spanish is Fun" programs this November.  The kids had a great time, and we're sure they are impressing everyone with their Spanish skills
