From the director

What a whirlwind time this is. Many of us from the library, along with library board members, set up an information table at the june home games of the yd red sox, at the dy high school ball field. We had such fun meeting new people and sharing news about our upcoming summer reading activities and information about library services. We thank everyone who stopped by our table and played flying fish for fun and rewards. Our youth service folks have taken to the streets and visited with dozens of classrooms at each of the yarmouth schools – promoting summer reading, visiting with teachers, and getting to know the children. In early june, library board member george bovino and i participated in career day at the mattacheese middle school. We talked to 5 groups of 6^th and 7^th graders on the joy of librarianship and school administration. It doesn’t get much better than that.

The yarmouth town libraries
are fine free!

If you have overdue yarmouth library materials, you can bring them back to the library and not worry about a fine for the tardiness. We went fine-free a while back and we just want everyone to know.
