Mulberry Library's new BLOG!

Hey from Mulberry Library! This will be the place where we update you on the all things book related here in our little town. Also, on all the events we will have taking place. Right now, at this VERY moment, we are working on our Summer Program. Everyone is invited! The different events will be taking place at the Boy's & Girl's Club at Purcell Elementary every Friday at 10a.m. We have several fun and exciting things lined up so far and are working on adding more each day! We are also putting together a Summer Family Storytime, so stayed tuned for our plans for this program.

So, summer is going to start soon, and I'm sure you are wondering, "oh my, what am I going to do for THREE WHOLE MONTHS???" Well, we have some great ideas! Of course one of those ideas is READING! We have new releases, old favorites, and great educational books for the young AND the old. Oh, yeah, AND the in betweens. Below are some of the new books we are offering in several genres here at the library.

NEW!! Fiction

NEW!! NON-Fiction

For Boys:

We have several new titles in all genres here at the library. We have a book for everyone! We also have several new children's books. Come in to check out our fantastic children's room that has been freshly painted and updated!

What about movies??? We got those too! With your library card, you can get hundreds of new releases! We also carry the old films that everybody loves. Here are just a couple of the movies we just bought to add to our ever growing collection!

Please feel free to come and spend some time with us here at the library. We are always here to help answer any reference questions for you. We also want to mention: we have ten public access computers! Two of our computers are without filters (you must be 18 to use) so that Myspace and any other social networking sites can be accessed. Our computer time is limited to a half hour if there are other patrons waiting. Just stop by the circulation desk to be assigned a computer and you will be surfing the World Wide Web in no time!

Stop by ANYTIME we are open and we would be happy to set up a library account (FREE OF CHARGE!) for you. All you need is a photo i.d. with a current address inside Polk County. If you have an i.d. but it doesn't show your current address, we accept voter registration cards, rental agreements, and utility bills as proof of residency. Of course, please don't hesitate to call us if you have ANY questions regarding obtaining a library membership. Our phone number and address will be listed below!
