Tomorrow (Friday the 14th) is the last day of the Summer Reading program and the last day to earn raffle tickets for the last drawing. No worries if you didn't "finish" the reading goal. Any of the activities in the booklet will earn you stickers or a raffle ticket. The library celebrates all the wonderful experiences you have had over the summer.

Look what is happening here in Waterville!

We’re getting closer! 🎉

Join us on July 31 from 6–8 PM at the pool park for Waterville’s first National Night Out!

This event is all about bringing our community together, building connections, and enjoying a fun evening with neighbors, families, local businesses, and first responders.

We want to take a moment to give a huge thank you to the businesses and community members who have generously donated to help ensure this event is completely free for everyone. Your support is helping turn this idea into a reality, and we truly couldn’t do it without you!

A bit more smoke in the air today and I am seeing particles on plant leaves. The Waterville library has cool filtered air and good respirator masks for all who need them. Further information on fires and air quality can be found here: https://www.ncwlibraries.org/news/
