Middletown Public Library





There are so many good things going on here that it's hard to know where to being.




Sunday hours are here! 1-5 p.m. Thank you! Hallelujah!

There was a no-fine period around the holidays in exchange for canned goods. As a friend said, "We actually got quite a lot of food for the Martin Luther King Center. They were so grateful!" The library benefitted in that long-time missing books reappeared. Since the largest shortage of food is summertime (I did not realize that), they hope to institute a food for fine program in June every year. Definitely a win-win for all. Thanks to all who have made these wonderful things possible, esp. the Library Board & the Friends! Another hallelujah!

The director has started a travel video series on Sundays from 2-3. So go travel- on the cheap!

It's interesting to note that some folks didn't know where Donovan Manor is ... locals call it the "High Rise" (very funny to a friend from Chicago who also thinks "Tower Building" is a bit much for an 8-floor edifice). Now when some of us vote at the "Fenner Hall" in November, may I recommend an "AKA" listing of "Portuguese-American Club" and "Vasco da Gama Hall." We teach visually, as well as auditorially and tactilely, right?

I agree! It took me awhile to figure out where it was when I was assigned poll result recorders. Then I had to describe to my son (born in Newport) what & where it was. Arrrgh!
Who was Donovan?
