 Everyone can participate in our Summer of Kindness and Build a Better World this summer. For each act of kindness you perform this summer stop by the library and place a stone (provided) into our Kindness Jar.
If we fill the jar with our kindness this summer the Friends of the Library will purchase new instruments for our children’s room.

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.  Plainville residents with Plainville Library cards in good standing may ship packages in "their name" to the Plainville Public Library, 198 South St., Plainville, MA 02762 and we will hold their package for pick up by the addressee during regular library hours.
Identification and signature is required at pick up. Please see the Package Pick up Policy for full rules. Plainville’s first Little Free Library is at Telford Park at 142 South St, Plainville. Brian Berry, an Eagle Scout Candidate, made and installed the Little Free Library as part of his project. The Friends of the Plainville Public Library, Inc. have paid for the official Charter Membership, and will provide the initial books. Little Free Library is a nationwide movement featuring a “take a book, return a book” gathering place where neighbors share their favorite literature and stories. In its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a book (or two) and bring back another book to share. We hope this Little Free Library will serve parents to get books to read to their children while at the park, and for any park visitors to exchange books of interest.
