Time Capsule Project

 A time capsule is a special container filled with different items then buried in the ground to be excavated many years from now. When people open the time capsule, they will learn about us and the time we lived in. To celebrate the Town of Mendon’s 200th birthday, we'd like to hear your ideas on what to include in a time capsule. We want to create a snapshot of what Mendon is like today and what makes it such a special place in which to live. Ideas are requested on or before May 31. Suggestion Form

 

E-readers For Loan

We have 10 Kindle Fires available for 3-week loan to patrons at least 18 years old who have a valid driver's license. Each Kindle features different book and movie titles. Made possible by a generous donation from the May K. Houck Foundation.

Gifts That Will Last a Lifetime

 An engraved brick from The Friends of the Mendon Public Library creates a legacy in the library's future reading garden. Remember someone special; honor your family, a close friend, a dedicated volunteer, a favorite teacher; or promote your company...this is a wonderful way to contribute to our beautiful library project.
