concerts to special furry guests!

Photographers and Lynnfield High School students Hannah Travers, Marina Varano, Alexandra Silvonic, and Rebecca Weeks are displaying four photographs at the Lynnfield Public Library through the end of May 2013.  The photos are displayed in two locations under the mezzanine: Hannah’s “Sweet,” and Marina’s “Zakim Bridge” are displayed by the Genealogy Room; Alexandra’s “Late Afternoon,” and Rebecca’s “Red Trees” are displayed by the paperback collection. The composition of the photos and the techniques employed by these young artists provide a visually stunning experience!  We hope you will visit the library and enjoy these talented High School students’ photographs.  Please contact Pat Kelly at 781.334.5411 if you have any questions.

The Library is pleased to announce that we have added the Wenham Musem to our collection of museum passes!  The Wenham Museum protects, preserves, and interprets the artifacts of childhood, domestic life, and the history and culture of Boton’s North Shore.  Perhaps the best-kept secret among Boston area museums, the Wenham Museum features an outstanding classic toy soldier and doll collection, vintage and antique dollhouses, models trains, period clothing and textiles, and a 17th century house to explore!  With exhibits and events for visitors of all ages, the Wenham museum would make a great family day trip!  Contact the Circulation Desk to reserve a pass (781.334.5411) or sign up through our online reservation system.

Very recently there have been questions from our patrons about who can download eBooks from OverDrive.  We’d like to explain what happened.
