Name the Flower

The dinner plate size blossoms of this beautiful flower
has been attracting a lot of attention.
However, no one seems positive what it is!
Our closest guess seems to be a hibiscus.
Can anyone help us out?

Come see these beauties
and the rest of the marvelous Library gardens
before Mother Nature puts them back to rest!

Library Lines

First we would like to say thank you to Alcotts, New York Pizzeria, Nice n Easy, Stewarts and Tim Pryputniewicz for donating prizes for the Summer Reading Programs and to everyone else who volunteered at the library this summer. We had about 68 kids participate in the Summer Reading Program this year, which adds up to about 550 hours. For the Adult Summer Reading Program we had around 30 adults participate and 4 people won great gifts for reading over the summer. You can still come in and see books that they have recommened. We are going to continue our 'Recommendations From Fellow Waterville Readers' next to the 'Staff Picks' at the library throughout the year. So if you would like to recommend a book just fill out a form while you are here.

We have a lot of programs coming up this fall. The Knitting Circle is back and begins on September 3rd @ 6pm.For kids and families we have a Cookie Tasting, Scarecrow Contest, Kids Club, The Bubble Man and much more coming up this September. Please be sure to stop in or go online for a list of our latest programs.

New Floating Audio Books

No, things aren't literally flying or floating off the shelves...

Floating items are part of collections that are switched out and
shared between the MidYork libraries.
Waterville receives floating movies, audio books, and large type.
You'll notice them by the pink sticker on their sides.

We just received a new batch of audio books today so stop in an check it out!
