Thayer Public Library

Looking for a book club? Why not try the Nonfiction Book Club! The next meeting is Monday June 22nd @ 6:30pm and books are currently available at the Circulation Desk (or in the Libby app, if that's your preference!)

This month's title is Desi Arnaz: The Man Who Invented Television, by Todd S. Purdum.

Book club books will be available for pick up at the circulation desk about one month before the discussion date and are due back on the night of the discussion.
All readers are always welcome. Questions? Contact Moira at 781-848-0405 X4417 or email [email protected]

Little Moments That Build Big Skills

This is a great time of year to take your child on a listening walk and explore the sounds around you.

What do you hear? Birds 🐦 Cars 🚘Wind in the trees? 🌳or all of the above?

Simple moments like this help build focus, vocabulary, and early literacy skills. And if you're looking for more ways to explore sound, check out some of these great books!

Come visit us at the library or explore our resources online at www.thayerpubliclibrary.org

English Conversation group continues Saturdays at 3pm. ECC is for people of all nationalities who would like a place to practice their English language and conversation skills. No registration, just come when you can!

English Conversation Circle is not a class! It is a time for English language learners to gather at the library to practice speaking together in English. English Conversation Circle is best for intermediate to advanced learners, but beginners are welcome.

We are looking forward to meeting you for the very first English Conversation Circle!

The program is free and open to the public. For more information email Jean at [email protected].

Children and their care-givers may stop in on Fridays anytime between 10 am and noon to play with toys, puppets, blocks and for social interaction. For little ones through age 5.

Our YA pick of the week!

Join us Monday June 15th @7:00-8:30pm in the Reading Room for SFF Book Club! Registration is encouraged so we can try to have enough copies of the next book and seats for that night. Visitors and new members are always welcome!

Our next book is... Bury Your G**s by Chuck Tingle

For registration, book details, & more visit our events calendar at: https://thayerpubliclibrary.libcal.com/event/14960459

Copies of the regular print edition will be available at the library's Circulation Desk one month ahead of the meeting. Ebook and audiobook can be found on the Libby app. Plan ahead - don't forget you can place & suspend your holds!

When you come to visit the library this week (or in the upcoming weeks) starting today we're making another technical change. This one is a lot smaller though, we promise!

Starting Monday June 1st, when you use any self checkout you'll be asked to scan the item barcodes (instead of placing them as a stack on the tray). That's it! That's the change. Maybe some of you were still doing this, but we thought we'd let everyone know.

1. scan (or enter) your library card
2. scan the item(s) barcode
3. chose your receipt option
4. and (hopefully) enjoy your checkouts!

We're switching back from RFID tags to scanning barcodes for two reasons. The first is that it's easier for the new library system (by scanning each barcode, we ensure items are checking out correctly and therefore going home with you) and the second is that RFID tags were getting a little pricey.
