The Middletown Public Library is excited to display artwork from a Middletown High School student, Jessica Matincheck.

Jessica said in her artist’s statement, “I hope to honor healthcare workers with my version of the famous Rosie the Riveter painting. I choose to paint a prominent female figure because nurses are at high risk and they are literally on the frontline.”

 

 

 

This year Middletown Public Library is partnering with the United Way’s “Money in Your Pocket” program who are offering TOUCH-FREE TAXES.

This is free remote tax preparation for low to moderate-income individuals and families.

The program is working differently than previous years. Please see THIS FLIER for more details.

For more information contact United Way of the Capital Region at 717-724-4077 or email miyp@uwcr.org.

 

 

NEW Middletown History articles are being posted regularly. Some of the most recent ones are: Airplane Crashes, Elk’s Theatre, Middletown’s Presidential Visits, Middletown’s Movie Star.

The library continues to offer our programs remotely.

This will include STEM Club, Tales with T.A.I.L.S., Storytime, Lego Club, The Thursday Book Club, and the Mystery Book Club.

All information will be on the library’s facebook page. So be sure to “like” it so you see all the posts.

Also we have a new group on Facebook which is watching and discussing an episode of Star Trek DS9 every other day called Star Trek Rewatch.

 

Don’t forget that while we are closed cardholders can still get e-books and e-audiobooks through our Overdrive system.

UPDATE: Just this week we added over 4,000 new e-book titles. They are called the Duke Classic series and they include things like all the classic Sherlock Holmes stories, the works of Charles Dickens, Frankenstein and the works of Jules Verne. And the best part is that they are multi-use licenses so no matter how many people take out the same e-book you’ll be able to get it instantly.
