It’s Mashpee Public Library’s 9th Birthday and We Want You to Help us Celebrate!

Our new building opened on April 16, 2010, and everyone is invited to join us for cupcakes, prizes and to play The Selander Mini Golf Open throughout the library!

This free day of fun is provided courtesy of the Friends of the Mashpee Library and through the generous sponsorship of many local businesses and merchants.

Get ready to enjoy the big screen and sound system at the library. We will be showing  Mary Poppins Returns, starring Emily Blunt  as everyone's favorite magical nanny and Lin-Manuel Miranda as her Cockney lamplighter pal.  This film is a sweet, nostalgic, toe-tapping sequel to Mary Poppins, the Oscar-winning 1964 classic. Bring a comfy pillow and watch the family fun. This movie is rated PG and recommended for age 6 and up. Children under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the film. Running time is 130 minutes.

MCBA Book Club is for 4th to 6th graders who enjoy reading new books!  Salem State University founded the Massachusetts Children’s Book Award in 1975.  Every year there are 25 nominated titles of recently published books, and children in grades 4 to 6 must read at least 5 titles in order to be eligible to vote for their favorite book.  We meet once a month on Thursdays.

This month we are reading Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea.  This book features seven narrators, each with a unique story, and each with a different perspective on what makes their teacher so special…until the snowy winter day when an accident changes everything.  It is an engaging story and anyone in grades 4 to 6 is welcome to join us.  Just stop by the library and pick up a copy of this month’s book.  For further information call 508-539-1435 ext. 3001 or email jburke@clamsnet.org.
