In accordance with statewide directives from the PA Department of Education and the Governor, the Middletown Public Library will be closed until further notice.

You can return your books in the book drop, but please hang onto any DVDs and audiobooks you have until we reopen as they can get damaged in our book drop. You will not be charged for ANY overdue items during this period.

Until the library can reopen we are going to be restarting our (normally in-person) 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 Enterprise everyday 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.
