This is a 2-PART WORKSHOP. On the 5th, participants will make their sculpture or gift. On the 12th, the item will be painted.
This workshop is open to anyone of any age. PARENTS MUST ASSIST CHILDREN 6 AND UNDER!
The workshop is open to 14 participants, not including helpers. The sign up sheet will be at the library starting Monday, November 30th.

Toys for Tots Cancelled!
We will not be participating in Toys for Tots this year, as the pick-up was poorly done last year.

World Book Web Encyclopedia Online!
Term papers and research are easy with World Book Web, our web based research tool for all ages. World Book Web Encyclopedia is available online here at the library and is appropriate for researchers of any age. Try it next time you need info on any topic!

Parking Reminder!
Library parking is for the library only except on days when we are closed.
We have a sign indicating the library parking area. We only have 4-5 spaces for our patrons. Please avoid parking in these areas if you are in town for a meeting or a gathering. Many thanks!

Internet Usage Reminder!
Parents are responsible for their children's use of the internet. We do not "stand over" any of our internet users, nor is our internet service filtered in any way. Please be sure your children understand what you will and will not allow them to do on the web!

Download audio books - Free!
Mansfield Public Library has joined the NH Audio book Consortium. This means that a large library of audio books is available to you and your family at no cost. You can use your computer, our computer or any computer! Listen at your computer, burn a CD, or download to an mp3 player.
The website is http://nh.lib.overdrive.com.
Our library number is 4460 and your Mansfield Library card number (for example: 44601000 is the library number plus a 1000 library card number).
Just follow the directions from there! We hope you enjoy this new convenience brought to you by your library.
