These programs are made possible by the Friends of the Stevens Memorial Library. You can support the Friends by attending their May and November book sales.

As always stop by the library to pick out a good book to read or a movie to watch. If you are traveling over the holidays, don’t forget audio books for the car trip and e-books to make your suitcase lighter. If you reserved a museum pass, keep our holiday hours in mind to insure you can pick it up before you go. From all of us at the Stevens Memorial Library we wish our patrons and the North Andover community a safe and enjoyable school vacation.
