NEWS

Are you LibraryAware?

Want to keep up-to-date on the latest books in the genres that interest you? If so, the library offers something called LibraryAware. Simply sign up for one or more newsletters, and they will be emailed each month. Each one contains recent titles with a plot description, who the book would appeal to and other similar authors and titles.

There will also be a list of older titles on a common theme. Some of the fiction newsletters offered include Mystery, Horror, Historical, Romance, Fantasy and Science Fiction, and Christian Fiction. There are also nonfiction newsletters such as Biography, Business, Health, Home and Garden, Science, Religion and Popular Culture. To sign up, go to RMLonline.org and click on Book Newsletters.

Donations

The Friends of RML were recently given the incredible gift of the book collection from the estate of Robert and Irene Adley of North Attleboro. Thanks to Charlotte McKay of Norwood, Robert’s sister, for thinking of the library.

At this time, the Friends are accepting donations by appointment only. If you have books, DVDs or CDs in good condition, email friendsofrml118@gmail.com to arrange a delivery time. Donations at the library are not being accepted. They can be brought to Plainville Public Library during a time when it is open. Please do not leave them outside the library.

EVENTS

Jan. 25

Virtual Book Discussion: Back when we were grownups, 6 p.m.

Rebecca Davitch, the heroine (and heroine is exactly the right word) realizes that she has become the “wrong person.” No longer the “serene and dignified young woman” she was at 20, at 53 Rebecca finds she has become family caretaker and cheerleader, a woman with a “style of dress edging dangerously close to Bag Lady.” So she tries to do something about it. Contact Marjorie for the Go To Meeting Link.
