Text a Librarian

The Library has started an new service -- Text a librarian!
See our home page for more information on the how-to's for texting your questions to us.
It's amazing all the different ways someone can get help at the library now, text, email, phone and of course the "old fashioned" in person approach!
So if you feel more comfortable texting your questions please feel free to try our service! Your phone number is not included in your message the system assigns you an anonymous patron ID!
On the downside regular message rates apply for all incoming texts.

Fall!

Well I guess it's official Summer is over -- the reason I can tell is that the Lincoln Library's fall brochure has been put in the mail. Every household in Lincoln should be getting one within the next day or so -- if you can't wait check out our website for all the Fall programs! I guarantee that there is a program for everyone at the library.
For history buffs a new book group is forming -- it's held at Minute Man National Park
For kids there are book groups, story hours and special programs for all ages (from babies to teenagers!)
We also have our very popular book groups (Mystery Monday continues with Jeanne Bracken post retirement!!!). Our Friday book group is doing "Animal, Vegetable and Mineral" Theme this year .
So stop by the library and "check out" what's happening.
