The library buildings remain closed to the public, but staff are here working to provide all of the library services you depend on. This week we have craft kits for all ages, Jill Erickson will talk about books on WCAI's The Point, and we let you know about one of hundreds of online services you can take advantage of from the Boston Public Library. As always, we suggest some good books for a little virtual browsing. Tax forms are not yet available. We'll announce it here, on social media, and in The Enterprise when they are.
