Green Books on display

Green is the theme here this summer, so check out the collection of books on green topics on display near the library's Information Desk. Subjects covered include solar and wind energy, green building and remodeling, green business practices, and many more. Many of the books emphasize practical steps that individuals and groups can take to practice environmental sustainability.

These books were purchased from a grant provided by the Milford Renewable Energy Advisory Committee and the Renewable Energy Trust. The library gratefully acknowledges the generous support of these organizations.

The grant will also be used to fund the purchase of a digital white board for presentations and for programs on green topics for kids and teens. More materials will also be purchased throughout the summer, so keep your eyes open for new items as they arrive.

 

As of July 1, the library will no longer be offering notary services.
