This Month @ The Library
December 2020
Message from the Director
You have probably read that our neighbor, Attleboro, has seen a spike in the number of Covid 19 cases that has led to the closing of all municipal buildings until December 7. This includes the Attleboro Public Library but Attleboro will still be providing service to its residents through curbside pickup. East Bridgewater and Swansea Public Libraries have also closed to the public for a temporary period of time.
As of yet, North Attleborough has not had to resort to this. If we do, the staff of the library will endeavor to continue serving the residents through contact-free library work such as Front-Porch Pickup.  
The trustees and staff of the library wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season.
Can't Wear of Mask?
For the health of all of our patrons and staff, masks or a shield are required for anyone entering the library and they must be worn while you are in the library. However, we know there are people who, for medical reasons, cannot wear masks. For you, we have the following options: We provide Front Porch Pickup of library materials that you have placed on hold. When the items are ready for you, call us with your library card to give us  time to check them out. You can come and we will place your items on a cart on the porch, or bring them to your car parked in front of the library.
You also can have material printed remotely by sending your items to illna@sailsinc.org, or by using the Mobile Print Option on the RMLonline.org website. The cost is 10 cents a page for black & white, 50 cents for color. Pay the exact amount in cash upon receipt.
Don’t know what you want? Call us to tell us what kind of things you like, and we will try to find other books or movies you might enjoy. 
You can also take advantage of our electronic and streaming services such as OverDrive/Libby, Hoopla and RBDigital.
 Children's Programs
Our virtual story time this month will be the week of December 9.  There will also be Take and Make crafts to bring home that week. The library has some wonderful winter holiday books and videos. Check them out to keep everyone reading, learning and happy while we continue staying safe at home.
Adult Programs
December's Adult Take-and-Make Craft will be a Paper Christmas Tree Garland. You may pick up the templates and paper at the Circulation Desk beginning December 1.

Zoom Book Discussion, Dec. 8, 1:30 pm: The island of sea women
by Lisa See

The ostracized daughter of a Japanese collaborator and the daughter of their Korean village's head female diver share nearly a century of friendship that is tested by their island's torn position between two warring empires. Email Marjorie Johnson at mjohnson@sailsinc.org to get the link.
What's New in Electronic Resources
Take advantage of RBdigital Great Courses this winter with your RML library card.

Durfeev.  https://rmlonlinema.rbdigital.com/#/home
