Coming up at the Library
Hello Friends,
We’ve got a busy and exciting few weeks at the library! Join us tonight at 6 PM for our Community Conversation, and don’t miss Creeque Alley next Thursday at 6 PM. Our Big Book Sale is coming up on Saturday, September 27th—mark your calendars!
Be sure to sign up for Ann-Marie Labollita’s Matisse Collage Class—spaces are limited, and it’s going to be a creative treat.
September is also Library Card Sign-Up Month! If you don’t already have a card, now is the perfect time to get one. More cards in town not only mean more readers, but they also help support our state funding and library statistics.
We hope to see you soon at the library!
It’s Library Card Sign up Month!
Sign Up for a Library Card This Month!
An Ashby Free Public Library card opens the door to so much more than books! With your card you can:
Borrow books, DVDs, tools, and more.
Download ebooks and audiobooks on Libby.
Stream movies and shows with Kanopy.
Use nearly 150 libraries across the CWMARS network (west of I-495).
Request books from anywhere in Massachusetts.
We’re proudly fine-free, so borrowing is worry-free.
💡 Here’s something you might not know: our state funding is partly based on how many Ashby residents have library cards. That means when you sign up, you’re not just getting access to great resources—you’re also supporting your library.
So if you’ve been putting it off, now’s the perfect time to get your card and join in!
