It’s official the new MPLD site is up and running! The blog has moved too, all the new info. books and all that jazz can be found here! Hope to see you there as well!

You may remember Ms. Basile from years ago when you used to check out books in the Kid’s room. Or you just might know her from around the Library. Either way this week is a sad week in Lib-land.

“After 14 years of employment with the Manhattan-Elwood Public Library, Children’s Services Manager, Paula Basile, will retire on February 4, 2011.”

But fear not, there’s still one last chance to say goodbye…

“The Library will host an informal going away open house for her during the day on Thursday, Feb. 3, 2011. Everyone is welcome to attend to extend their good wishes to her for a long and fulfilling retirement.”

So stop in and wish Ms. Basile the best on her adventures outside the Lib!

The end of an era! Now you won’t have to wait until Saturday, instead we will update the new books when we get them in daily at the new home of MPLD Teen New Books.

For right now (there may be some changes coming next week-hint hint!) you can check this site for programs, news and other generally awesome things but new books will all be here: http://mpldteens.tumblr.com/

- So if you bookmarked this site be sure to change it up to include the new tumblr! Enjoy!

To turn in your Winter Reads forms! 7 days! All you have to do is read and review 5 books to be entered to win the grand prize. It’s a cakewalk right?

All forms are due Tuesday January 31st and the winner will be notified February 2nd, along with the other yearly announcement. Good last minute luck!

Hello again. Hope 2011 is off to a running start for everyone. Remember there are server updates today-limited service on the website, BUT check back tomorrow!

Five new books and the new My Chemical Romance CD for your holding pleasure! Remember the Lib is closed Monday for M.L.K. Jr. Day-see you Tuesday!

The Library will be closed Monday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. We will reopen Tuesday @ 9AM!

Need an hour of community service? Try Book Buddies, it’s easy and fun-

We couldn’t help but pass on this opportunity (at this link) to meet the one and only creator of all things Bella/Edward to everyone. Before your heart stops beating and all that fun stuff, there will only be one winner from the entire U.S, but that person will not only get to be S.Meyer but get an exclusive copy of the Official Twilight Saga Guide before it’s out!

Good luck and if you win be sure to mention the Lib!

Hello – I know, I know another short week this week, but promises there will be more coming next week. Until then we have 4 new books that oddly enough all feature various parts of faces. Conspiracy or coincidence-check them out to see…cue nefarious laughter.
