New Movies Arrive At Library

Melvin Library is a member of the Video Co-op, a group of libraries in the Lincoln Trail Libraries System who jointly purchase and rotate current popular films. Each collection contains about 70 titles and remains in the library for one month.

Several new movies have just arrived to join the collection currently in our library including Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, Michael Jackson's This Is It, Pandorum and Whip It. Rotating movies check out overnight and may be renewed twice, and there is no charge to check out a movie from the library, unless of course it is returned late :)

National Library Week

National Library Week continues through Saturday, April 17 and there is plenty of time to visit the library and see what material and services are available to you!

We are currently holding our popular book giveaway and each member of the public may choose three free books from our book sale area each day of National Library Week.

We also want to thank everyone for the nice comments we are hearing about the library's landscaping, it's great to know the improvements we make to the library do not go unnoticed!
