Last year, the Friends of Madison Library arranged for the library to have a museum pass for the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro, which proved to be very popular last summer. For this year, the Trustees have decided to add passes for the Portland Museum of Art (available now), the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center (available starting in May), and the Remick Museum (available soon). Come check one out!

Stories, songs, and crafts! Families are invited to come join us on Saturday, March 6 from 10 am to 1 pm to celebrate reading as we help wrap up Madison Elementary School’s celebration of Read Across America week March 1-5. Come see what’s new at the library and sign up for a library card. At 11 AM, singer/storyteller Stacy Sand will share stories, songs, sing-alongs, and more with a “wild thing” theme. After the performance, stay and make your own reading log and fancy bookmark. Parents will take home a free copy of “A Child Becomes a Reader: Kindergarten through Third Grade.” Note that this event was rescheduled from February 27. The Boston Globe published their obituary for Mary Meier today. “Before there was Google, there was Ask the Globe, and journalist Mary Meier played a key role in the column’s success for 20 years.” In Memoriam Across the ocean of my life Madison, NH A memorial service for Mary will be held on Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 2 PM at the Madison Church.

We’re trying something new–an informal lunchtime discussion of pop culture on the first Friday of each month at noon, the first one is February 5, 2010. Join assistant librarian Leonora Southwick to talk about new books, movies, and more. Find out what’s new at the library, tell us what new books or videos you’re waiting for and would like to see at the library. Trade reading or viewing recommendations with others. Bring your lunch, the coffee’s on us. We may even bring cookies. Join us on Thursday, February 4 at 7 PM for a Wordpress website workshop. Wordpress.com is a free and open-source tool perfect for someone wishing to create and maintain a Web presence for an organization or community group. Wordpress’s features include allowing for multiple users with varying levels of editing authority, integrating with Twitter and Flickr accounts, and giving the option of using a registered domain. Wordpress.com is Web-based, which means that users can access and update their sites from any computer or mobile device with an internet connection. Offering many customizable themes, Wordpress.com can be tailored to fit an organization’s identity. Local Web sites built using Wordpress.com include http://onebookonevalley.wordpress.com and http://madisontrails.wordpress.com. The Wordpress Workshop will be led by Mary Cronin and will include a tour of the program followed by hands-on practice. Participants will take home a handout with instructions on using Wordpress.com and an invitation to return to the library for one-on-one follow-up training. This workshop is free, but space is limited. Call the Madison Library at 367-8545 to reserve a space. (Yes, it is happening at the same time as the Madison School District’s deliberative session, but if you’re interested in this class, let us know so we can plan another one.) The Madison Library has received two “Cut the Carbon” kits from nhsaves, a partnership of NH electric utility companies. The kits contain a Kill-A-Watt meter, instructions on how to use the meter, and brochures with energy saving tips. Check out a kit to try out at home today. |
