Congratulations to the winners of our bookmark design contest! The staff had a ton of fun voting for their favorite in each age category. There are a 100 bookmarks available in each design for library visitors. There are so many great local artists in Northbridge. Can't wait to do this again next year!

ATTN: TWEEN ROOM SNACKS ARE ON PAUSE.

(Yes, even on “Free Food Fridays.”)

Free library snacks are a privilege.

Between snack hoarding, trash, and a general disrespect for our shared space, the snack basket is taking a leave of absence.

You're still welcome to bring your own snacks, but clean up afterward. There are EIGHT trash bins in the Tween Room.

We love having you in the Tween Room AND on the lawn! But the fighting, screaming, and swearing need to stop as well. You can use your outside voice without notifying the entire ZIP code.

Respect the space, the staff, and each other.

Snacks may return when sharing makes a comeback and the drama returns to the fiction section, where it belongs.
