Nooks are Here!

The Library has begun circulating Nook Simple Touch e-readers, preloaded with a variety of titles for adults, young adults, and children.  We also have one Nook Color for children that contains picture books.  Click on the appropriate link to view the titles.  Additional titles will be added each month.

The Nooks circulate for 14 days, and may be borrowed by Freeport Memorial Library cardholders, 18 years of age or older.  Please see a librarian for more information.

Our Renovation Has Begun!

For the last several months, the Library staff has been preparing for a major renovation of our West Wing.  This is the area that houses Reference, the Job and Education Information Center, and the adult computers.  Additionally, this area is the location of our adult and young adult books, CDs, DVDs, foreign language, and a host of other materials.  The renovation will include painting, the installation of energy efficient lighting, and new carpeting.  We are very excited about the addition of new spaces, including a Teen Room, a reading area for Seniors, quiet study rooms, a computer training room, and a lounge.  We have prepared a flyer with a floor plan showing the new areas. 

We will make every effort to remain open, and to continue to provide the level of service you have come to expect throughout the entire renovation.  We apologize in advance for the noise, and we thank you for your cooperation during this project.
