Back to School Resources

It’s hard to believe that another summer is drawing to a close. I hope all the parents out there are thinking of ways that the Library can help you as the start of a new school year is just around the corner. I’m sure you are looking forward to packing lunches and signing permission slips, and that is a pretty big gig of its own. It is always nice to be reminded that the Library can be there to help kids all year long with what they need to be successful in the classroom.

Tags, Pads, and Gates, Oh My!

VHS and Cassette Sale: Add Part of Our Collection to Your Collection

Interested in adding VHS and audio cassettes to your home library? As we upgrade the technology in our libraries, we are removing all VHS and audio cassettes from our collection and giving you the chance to purchase your favorite titles. Even though they will no longer be available for checkout and all holds will be cancelled for these items, you can still take them home: to keep! 

Database Browsing for Fun (and Profit?)

If you are a business owner, or thinking about becoming one, you need to add one more thing to your to-do list: check out our free business databases in MCPL's Online Resources. These phenomenal business resources are just waiting to be tapped!

From analyzing potential site locations for your business to creating sales lead lists, the Library’s business databases offer an abundance of cool facts that can help you build and grow your business.

Teen Lock-In

It’s almost that time of year again when teens across the nation fill their backpacks up with school supplies and find out who their teachers will be. Some look forward to getting back into a routine of seeing their friends and having after school activities. Others dread having to sit in the classroom again and have homework piled upon them.

What better way to celebrate the start of another school year (or sadly say goodbye to summer vacation) than with a Teen Lock-In! Two opportunities are available this August:
