Lola Parker-Kearney wins a prize!

e-RAFFLE @ Haddonfield PL Winners!

The winners of the raffle promoting Hoopla were:  Eileen Ludwig, Lola Parker-Kearney, and Aimee Ludwig. Ms. Coleman, who viewed "The King's Speech" on Hoopla,  said, "I love that you can just down load a movie at home when you are ready to watch it." Lola enjoyed listening to the audiobook "The Duckling Gets a Cookie."  Aimee Ludwig said," I like borrowing audiobooks because I can listen to them in the car while driving. If not for this service, I never would have tried audiobooks. I'm now "reading" more than ever before!" 

Are you downloading books, music, movies, & TV from digital platforms available through the Haddonfield Public Library?   To learn more about signing up for hoopla, 3M, and OverDrive, ask HPL staff or visit the library website asap: http://www.haddonfieldlibrary.org

You can help by buying a leaf on the tree mural created by HMHS National Honor Society members. The tree is at the top of the stairs on the first floor of the library.
