Our popular May children's program, "Stories in the Park" begins soon. If the rains hold off, Miss Susan will meet and read with children in the sunshine of the children's playground section of Cluett-Schantz Park in Milton. The dates to remember are Tuesday May 11, 18 and 25 at 12:30 p.m.

 

 

In order to capture realistic statistics concerning the growth of our user base (which determines our funding), library staff will be limiting the distribution of "visitor passes" for Internet access to true visitors to the Library. Visitor passes have a 30 minute limit. Residents of the Marlboro School District are entitled to a free library card. There is a $5 charge to replace lost cards.

The team is being assembled for our Year Two in search of the Battle of the Books (B.O.B.) championship. B.O.B. is a reading competition for kids who will be entering Grade 6 through Grade 9 in the fall. Team members must read 8 selected novels over the summer. We have four returning battlers and have room for six more. Battlers test their recall skills against teams from 23 other libraries in the MidHudson Library System and must be prepared to buzz in with correct answers when quizzed. The contest will take place on September 11 in Hudson this year. Interested kids should contact Mr. Cosgrove at 236-7272.

 The Library's annual meeting, board election, and annual budget vote for the fiscal year 2010 - 2011 will start in the community room beginning at 7 p.m. on Tuesday evening June 1. The budget document will soon be available at the Library, the Marlboro School District Office, and at each of the schools for the public to view. The voting will continue until 9 p.m. Seeking a second term is Board member, Terry Clouse. Susan Cary is running for an open at-large seat. The meeting will be chaired by Michael Heller with the voting overseen by Marlboro School District Clerk Irene Scaturro.

 

Friends of the Marlboro Library have donated ten copies of Kate Atkinson's novel Case Histories to the MidHudon Library's Book-Club-in-a-Bag program. This title, and approximately a hundred more like it, are available for patrons who have their own book clubs or would like to start one with friends. Go to the MHLS website for a list of available titles. If you have a particular title in mind, search for it on the online library catalog.
