A Lot Has Changed at your Local Library 
Article in the Cabinet by
Library Director, Michelle Sampson

In case you haven't heard, the library has plans for a building project that will be put before the voters in just a few months. With that in mind, I thought it apropos to talk about the need for libraries in the age of Google. See the full article.

AARP Tax Aide
February 3 to April 14

Tuesdays - 9:30am to 2:00pm
Thursdays - 3:30pm-6:30pm

Free Tax help will be available at the Wadleigh Library from February 3rd to April 14th.

Appointments are not required.

The Wadleigh Library is an official Tax Form Repository. We will provide forms as we receive them from the federal and state government.

The IRS has recently notified the Library that they will NOT be able to provide paper copies of instruction booklets and most tax forms, due to a large budget cut. We will have the following forms available:

• Forms 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ

Since 1968, AARP Tax-Aide volunteers have helped nearly 50 million low- to middle-income taxpayers, many of whom are aged 60 or older. Tax-Aide volunteers (IRS Certified) are trained to assist with filing the 1040 Form and the more standard of the schedules, including Schedules A and B. Electronic filing (e-filing) is offered at the Wadleigh Memorial Library site, with no charge to the taxpayer. E-filing ensures more accurate tax returns and faster processing of tax refunds.

Acoustic Cafe presents
Hot Mustard
Saturday, February 21
Doors Open @ 7 PM - Performance @ 7:30PM - Admission is Free!
Hot Mustard may well be a bluegrass first - a quartet featuring two banjos and two married couples! When singer/banjo picker BillJubett teamed up with singer/guitarist April Hobart (now April Jubett), a truly
classic-sounding duet was born. Add banjo picker/singer Bruce Stockwell, a 40-year bluegrass veteran and Merle Fest banjo contest winner, along with his wife, bassist Kelly Stockwell, and you've got some hot and spicy bluegrass chemistry!

The Acoustic Café is a library-sponsored program showcasing regional acoustic musicians. Open to the public, it is held the 3rd Saturday from October through April in a smoke-free intimate environment.  The Acoustic Café is also supported by the Friends of the Library.  All proceeds from coffee and refreshment sales benefit the café and the library.

Can't seem to finish that scarf for Grandma? Or are you a complete beginner with an itch to stitch?
