National Library Week

National Library WeekCommunities Matter @ your Library during National Library Week.  Stop by NVPL this week and find out how the library supports your community.  Today, we will be serving coffee and treats from local businesses. Tomorrow,  grab a packet of seeds from the Stevensville Community Garden.  Bring your little one to an engaging storytime (Tuesday & Wednesday @ 10:30) or practice your Spanish language skills at our weekly Spanish Conversation Group (Wednesday @ 6:00).  All week, let us know how the library can improve this community and enter your name for tickets to the upcoming production of Wizard of Oz at the Stevensville Community Playhouse or a gift certificate to area businesses.  We hope to see you at the library!

Movie Matinee @ 12:00

We’re celebrating all things Irish this month, at the library!  Stop in at 12:00 today to view a free film steeped in Irish folklore.  A 10 year old girl is sent to live with her grandparents in a small fishing village in Donegal, Ireland and learns the legends of her ancestors.  This is a great film for the entire family.  Contact the library for title information at 777-5061.

Family Literacy Night – Tonight @ 5:00!
