Every town, no matter how small, needs a good library - The Boston Globe In rural communities especially, libraries are more than places to read or borrow books.

Just put these two books out on the 50 cent sale shelf. Come and get them! First Lie Wins is brand new, but with a little water damage. Presumed Innocent is the basis for the new Jake Gyllenhaal movie. They should go fast, come and get them, and check out the 50 cent sale shelves while you are at it. Books for kids, teens and adults, all for 50 cents.

Hahahah

Just a reminder that our awesome Northborough children’s librarians are still in need of more book donations for the summer reading program! Here’s their original request 📖📙📚:

It's almost time for summer reading fun at the library! To help make this our best summer reading program ever, we are asking for donations of like- new/gently used children's books (all formats from ages birth to 10) to use as prize books for our patrons. Please stop by the children's room if you have books to share, we will accept your donations anytime during our regular hours. Thank you for your support! ❤️
