MILFORD — The following information has been released from the  Milford Public Library.

Adult Reading Program

Winter is right around the corner, so there’s no better time to snuggle up with a good book! The Library’s Adult Reading Program is almost here. Beginning Saturday, January 2, the Adult Reading Program will be under way. The theme is “Tails and Tales”.  For each book, E-book, magazine, or audiobook you read (or listen to), enter your name in a weekly drawing for a chance to win a prize. The Library will draw a winner each week through March 31^st. Be sure to watch our Facebook page and website for additional ways to win prizes. We ask those who participate be 18 years or older. No library card is needed to be eligible to win prizes, but we do ask that you sign up in the Adult Department of the Library.

 Wowbrary

Milford Public Library has extended our Wowbrary subscription. Last winter the library signed up for Wowbrary. This allows us to send out a weekly email to patrons. This email is full of useful information. We update you on new items that have been added to our collection each week, as well as, any programs, fun activities, Library closings, or other information we think our patrons would like to know about.  It is easy to sign up for Wowbrary.  Simply visit www.wowbrary.org, click sign up, enter your zip code, click go, then choose Milford Public Library, enter your email address twice, and click submit. A staff member will be happy to help if needed.

Updated Website

In July the Library updated our website. Have you visited www.milford.lib.in.us? Our website is now more user friendly. You have the ability to register for events happening online or at the library by visiting the Events tab on the website. You are able to place holds on items from the Catalog tab, and by clicking on the Services tab, you will be able to see how much it costs to make copies, send a fax, etc., along with many other services.
