HAPPY NEW YEAR

This is the time of year when we sit back and review what has happened and plan for the future. We also need to take time to see where we are.

The Fitchburg Public Library is pleased to say that we are here, ready and willing to help you achieve your goals for the coming days, months, years or lifetime. Are you taking any classes in the coming semester and need to do some research? Do you want to try out a new hobby? Maybe you want to read that mystery series you've been putting off? The librarians in the adult and children's libraries are here to assist you. Come on down and see what we have to offer.

Over the next 5-6 months we have several programs planned for you. Storytime continues to be offered every Tuesday at 10:00. Beginning in April or May, there will be a series of movies sponsored by the Farmers' Market. On February 23, Sara Carlisle from ShelterMe, Inc. (a program for abandoned dogs and cats), in Medford, will bring her talented dog, Luna, to present her humane education program.

We are very excited to be hosting a screening and panel discussion of the documentary "Marion Stoddard: The Work of 1000" on Sunday, May 15, at 2:00 p.m. The Fitchburg Greenways Committee and the Mayor's office will join us in presenting this exciting story. Come see how one ordinary woman's vision, dedication and hard work literally changed the world.
