Dr. Who, Sadie the reading dog and more at the Mattapoisett Library

Mar 10, 2014

The Mattapoisett Library has several events and offerings for the month of March. See below:

Dr. Who Night!

The library will host its first Dr. Who Night! On Friday, March 14. Join other fans from 4 to 6:30 p.m. to watch episodes of Dr. Who, talk about the show and munch snacks. Also make Dr. Who buttons on the library’s new button machine. Everyone is welcome.

Saturday with Sadie

Sadie, the listening ears dog, will be at the library Saturday, March 15 along with her handlers so that children can read to her. She loves books, and this month she's waiting to hear "and then it's spring" by Julie Fogliano. Children who are 5 years old and older may sign up to read. There is a limit of ten children, so call to register at 508-758-4171.

There's still time to go on a Blind Date with a Book

Blind dates are waiting to be checked out! Stop in the Reading Room and take a chance on a "blind date book." The genre is disclosed on package, but not the title or the author. Give one a try and rate the"date" for a chance at one of three prizes to be awarded on St. Patrick's Day. The prizes are an iTunes gift card, movie gift certificates and a gift certificate to Nick's Pizza.

Spring story time series

Registration for the spring story times for toddlers and preschoolers begins Tuesday, March 18. The series begins the week of April 1.  Call the children's department at 508-758-4171 to register.

Women's History Month display

Stop by the circulation desk area to see the new display on books related to women's history. Any of the selections may be checked out. Biographies, women's anthologies, and history titles are available.
