Hello, and Happy Friday! 

We are excited to add the first of a number of Discovery Backpacks to the Thingdom, our lending library of things!


This first Discovery Backpack is centered around birdwatching. It contains all you need to head outside and start spotting some birds, no matter your level of experience. Be sure to record your findings in the provided log book for others to see! 

The Thingdom and all the wonderful items that we have in store for you would not be possible without the generous support of the Friends of the Milne Public Library. Thank you!

Read All the Comics With Comics Plus!

Things are about to get colorful with our addition of Comics Plus to our digital resources! 


Using your library card, you can now access Children's and Teen's collections in the Comics Plus website and app. 


Yes, for those counting, this is the third new addition to our online resources in the past three weeks, following Little Pim for children's language learning, and digital access to the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Thank you to the Friends of the Milne Public Library for making providing these new services possible!

Remote Printing Just Got Easier!

Printing remotely or from your own device while at the library just got much simpler. 


All you need to do is head to print.princh.com, enter our printer ID (109294) and then upload your files that you need to print. 

You will be asked to provide your email address, which is what you will use to identify your print job at the print station in the library. Whether you are printing remotely through Princh, or printing directly at the library, black and white prints cost 10 cents per sheet, and color prints cost 20 cents per sheet.


You can also print an email or an email with an attachment by sending an email to ewimain.bw@ewprints.com. This offers less control overall than printing via the website, but it is the easiest way to print an email directly. 


If you experience any issues, please don't hesitate to ask us for help!
