Stoughton Library Newsletter: September 2017

STOUGHTON, MA - From the Stoughton Public Library: The library construction project is in full swing! August brought the removal of the final steel girders holding the front roof as well as the concrete slab from the first floor. Abatement of the foundation and mechanical room neared completion as well as the demolition and removal of debris. Visit the work site or our website to follow the progress this fall!

CHANGE TO OVERDUE NOTICES
The Stoughton Public Library has stopped sending notices of overdue items to library patrons via the
U.S. Mail. We will continue to send them to patrons who have added their email to their accounts. All patrons will continue to receive bills in both formats for items that are overdue by 30 days.

Library Book Discussion
Tuesday, September 19- 1:00-2:30PM Nora Webster by Colm Toibin
“Fascinating... Revelatory...More thoughtful than Emma Bovary and less self- destructive, in the end far and away a better parent than the doomed Anna Karenina for all the latter’s dramatic pos- turing, Nora Webster is easily as memorable as either-and far more believable. To say more would spoil a masterful- and unforgettable noel."
