Trick or Treat at the library today until we close at 8pm. Show us those great costumes!  We here at the library are all Batgirl wannabees - Barbara Gorden, librarian, at your service.

Global Road Warrior is a NEW online database you have access to with your Plainville library card number. Log in to search 175 countries for current data including what electrial plug they use. Don't be like my husband who left his adapter at home and wound up in Germany on a holiday with no way to charge anything.  Get travel advisories, visa information, monetary and local transportation information and a lot more. Find out before you go! Also great for school country projects with information about the climate, land, history, people, customs and holidays.

We need your Plainville photos!

10/3/2016

 
This all started with a story of a family that was cleaning out their father's house. He had a lot of pictures and they took the ones they wanted, and didn't know what to do with the rest. We hear they burned them along with all the man's old paperwork. Memories lost forever! The Plainville Public Library and the Plainville Historical Commission are working together with the SAILS Library Network to scan and document personal photographs of Plainville people and places. Bring up to 10 photos to the Plainville Public Library on October 24 between 4 and 7pm. We scan them while you tell us as much as you can about the pictures and give us permission to post them in the SAILS Digital History Collection for all to see.
