Your preschoolers will enjoy this fun half hour of stories and songs that encourage a love of books and promote early literacy skills. Older and younger siblings are welcome to attend. Today's program will be in-person instead of Zoomed, and will be held outside on the library grounds; if the weather looks too soggy, we'll send registrants a Zoom link to do program remotely.
Join us for our “cooking show” – we’ll demonstrate how to make sweet and savory snacks using ingredients you probably already have in the kitchen. This program will be posted on the Children’s Department Facebook page, so you can watch it as many times as you like and follow along if you decide to try your hand at making the treats!
This program will be held outside on the Library Grounds. We do ask that you wear a mask and abide by the social distancing standards and practices.
Be an artist for a day and create your own wearable art!
Experience the design process with the art of pure color. A pure, vivid color you can feel and wear anytime of the year.
All materials are included in each workshop and all dyes are natural and extracted without the use of harmful chemicals.
Make sure to sign up! There are only 6 spots left in the workshop. Sign up right away!
Sponsored by the Methuen Cultural Council
Wrap up your day with this evening storytime — get your kids in their pjs and ready for bed, and we’ll provide the bedtime stories (also wearing our comfy pjs)!
This virtual event will be held over Zoom. Due to the anticipated large number of participants, please use this link to register through Zoom: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/8315980314864/WN_zzhzheMhRVGp1Q3oYgl2ww
Racial justice educator and writer, Debby Irving, will give a virtual presentation via Zoom. Using historical and media images, Debby examines how she used her white-skewed belief system to interpret the world around her. Socialized on a narrow worldview, Debby explores how she spent decades silently reaffirming harmful, archaic racial patterns instead of questioning the racial disparities and tensions she could see and feel.
This program is designed to support white people in making the paradigm shift from ‘fixing’ and ‘helping’ those believed to be inferior, to focusing on internalized white superiority and its role in perpetuating racism at the individual, interpersonal, institutional, and cultural levels.
Debby’s presentation is followed by an interview and Q&A with a panel of local residents from two organizations working on social justice issues. Panelists include Bria Gadsen, Elizabeth Walther-Grant, and Mayara Reis of Merrimack Valley Black & Brown Voices, and Amaryllis Lopez of Elevated Thought.
This program is part of a series, Libraries Working Towards Social Justice, offered in collaboration with eight Merrimack Valley libraries - Memorial Hall Library, Burlington Public Library, Haverhill Public Library, Lawrence Public Library, Stevens Memorial Library, Tewksbury Public Library & Wilmington Memorial Library.
We’re sorry that we can’t do storytimes in person, but we still want to share books with kids — so we’re posting videos of staff reading aloud picture books for your children to enjoy. The read-alouds will be posted on the Children’s Department Facebook page and on the library’s website.

A unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love.

This month's book is Less by Andrew Sean Greer
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, 2017. A picaresque romp, a scintillating satire of the American abroad, a rumination on time and the human heart, and a bittersweet romance of chances lost, this novel was hailed as "inspired, lyrical," "elegiac," and "ingenious" when it came out 3 years ago.

This book group is for adults who enjoy reading and talking about young adult literature.
This month we will be discussing The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd.
About the book:
Sixteen-year-old Juliet Moreau has built a life for herself in London — working as a maid, attending church on Sundays, and trying not to think about the scandal that ruined her life. After all, no one ever proved the rumors about her father’s gruesome experiments. But when she learns he is alive and continuing his work on a remote tropical island, she is determined to find out if the accusations are true. Inspired by H. G. Wells’s classic The Island of Dr. Moreau, this is a dark and breathless Gothic thriller about the secrets we’ll do anything to know and the truths we’ll go to any lengths to protect.
We will meet to discuss this book on Zoom. Please join us! To register for this book group, please fill out this form (if you haven't already): https://forms.gle/MMFbarPih9VGGgZn9 This way we can send you the Zoom link prior to the meeting and order* the next month's book for you in the format you prefer!

This month, we will be discussing Warlight by Michael Ondaatje.
About the book:
Just after World War II, 14-year-old Nathaniel and his older sister Rachel stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and they grow both more convinced and less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a shared history of unspecified service during the war, all of whom seem, in some way, determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? And what does it mean when the siblings' mother returns after months of silence without their father, explaining nothing, excusing nothing? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all that he didn't know and understand in that time.

This month's book is Without You: A Memoir about Love, Loss and the Musical "Rent" by Anthony Rapp
The author, star of the original production of Rent, tells the story of his exhilarating success, as well as the intimacies of his personal life behind the curtain. Marked by fledgling love and devastating loss, this is an exceptional memoir of the world of theater, the love of a son for his mother, and maturity won far too early.

Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South. He is a young executive and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career. But as they settle into the routine of their life together, they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could have imagined. Roy is arrested and sentenced to twelve years for a crime Celestial knows he didn't commit. Though fiercely independent, Celestial finds herself bereft and unmoored, taking comfort in Andre, her childhood friend, and best man at their wedding. As Roy's time in prison passes, she is unable to hold on to the love that has been her center. After five years, Roy's conviction is suddenly overturned, and he returns to Atlanta ready to resume their life together.

This month we will be discussing A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi.
About the book:
It’s 2002, a year after 9/11. It’s an extremely turbulent time politically, but especially so for someone like Shirin, a sixteen-year-old Muslim girl who’s tired of being stereotyped. Shirin is never surprised by how horrible people can be. She’s tired of the rude stares, the degrading comments - even the physical violence - she endures as a result of her race, her religion, and the hijab she wears every day. So she’s built up protective walls and refuses to let anyone close enough to hurt her. Instead, she drowns her frustrations in music and spends her afternoons break-dancing with her brother. But then she meets Ocean James. He’s the first person in forever who really seems to want to get to know Shirin. It terrifies her - they seem to come from two irreconcilable worlds - and Shirin has had her guard up for so long that she’s not sure she’ll ever be able to let it down.

And as a pillar in the community, an advocate for female refugees, and a woman happily married for decades, no one had a bad word to say about Diana...except Lucy. Now, Diana is dead, a suicide note found near her body claiming that she longer wanted to live because of the cancer wreaking havoc inside her body. But the autopsy finds no cancer. It does find traces of poison, and evidence of suffocation. Who could possibly want Diana dead?

Still, she knows she doesn’t have enough time for her school’s new culinary arts class, doesn’t have the money for the class’s trip to Spain — and shouldn’t still be dreaming of someday working in a real kitchen. But even with all the rules she has for her life — and all the rules everyone expects her to play by — once Emoni starts cooking, her only real choice is to let her talent break free.

It's 1986, and Marie Mitchell is an intelligence officer with the FBI. She's brilliant, but she's also a young black woman working in an old boys' club. Her career has stalled out, she's overlooked for every high-profile squad, and her days are filled with monotonous paperwork. So when she's given the opportunity to join a shadowy task force aimed at undermining Thomas Sankara, the charismatic, revolutionary president of Burkina Faso whose Communist ideology has made him a target for American intervention, she says yes. Yes, even though she secretly admires the work Thomas is doing for his country. In the year that follows, Marie will observe Thomas, seduce him, and ultimately have a hand in the coup that will bring him down. But doing so will change everything she believes about what it means to be a spy, a lover, a sister, and a good American.

Eleanor is the new girl in town, and with her chaotic family life, her mismatched clothes and unruly red hair, she couldn't stick out more if she tried. Park is the boy at the back of the bus. Black T-shirts, headphones, head in a book - he thinks he's made himself invisible. But not to Eleanor... never to Eleanor. Slowly, steadily, through late-night conversations and an ever-growing stack of mix tapes, Eleanor and Park fall for each other. They fall in love the way you do the first time, when you're young, and you feel as if you have nothing and everything to lose.

This month, we will be discussing Fleishman is in Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner.
About the book:
Toby Fleishman thought he knew what to expect when he and his wife of almost fifteen years separated: weekends and every other holiday with the kids, some residual bitterness, the occasional moment of tension in their co-parenting negotiations. He could not have predicted that one day, in the middle of his summer of sexual emancipation, Rachel would just drop their two children off at his place and simply not return. As Toby tries to figure out where Rachel went, all while juggling his patients at the hospital, his never-ending parental duties, and his new app-assisted sexual popularity, his tidy narrative of the spurned husband with the too-ambitious wife is his sole consolation. But if Toby ever wants to truly understand what happened to Rachel and what happened to his marriage, he is going to have to consider that he might not have seen things all that clearly in the first place.

This month we will be discussing Scythe by Neal Schusterman.
About the book:
A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery. Humanity has conquered all those things, and has even conquered death. Now scythes are the only ones who can end life—and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control. Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe—a role that neither wants. These teens must master the “art” of taking life, knowing that the consequence of failure could mean losing their own.

At first, Jude and her twin brother Noah, are inseparable. Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude wears red-red lipstick, cliff-dives, and does all the talking for both of them. Years later, they are barely speaking. Something has happened to change the twins in different yet equally devastating ways . . . but then Jude meets an intriguing, irresistible boy and a mysterious new mentor. The early years are Noah's to tell; the later years are Jude's. But they each have only half the story, and if they can only find their way back to one another, they'll have a chance to remake their world. This radiant, award-winning novel from the acclaimed author of The Sky Is Everywhere will leave you breathless and teary and laughing—often all at once.

In Oak Knoll, a verdant, tight-knit North Carolina neighborhood, professor of forestry and ecology Valerie Alston-Holt is raising her bright and talented biracial son, Xavier, who’s headed to college in the fall. All is well until the Whitmans―a family with new money and a secretly troubled teenage daughter―raze the house and trees next door to build themselves a showplace. With little in common except a property line, these two families quickly find themselves at odds: first, over an historic oak tree in Valerie's yard, and soon after, the blossoming romance between their two teenagers.

But with such positive support, the club is also targeted by online trolls. When things escalate, the principal shuts the club down. Jasmine and Chelsea will risk everything for their voices—and those of other young women—to be heard.

This Month's Book Is: Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
Fans of the HBO mini-series might be surprised to find out that this story was originally set in a suburb of Sydney, Australia. This domestic drama focuses on three women, all of whom have children at the same preschool. Right from the start -- thanks to a modern 'Greek Chorus' that narrates the action -- we know that someone is going to end up dead. Ultimately the most important message in this book is that we all tell lies, not only to friends and family, but most importantly, to ourselves.
