We have many new and exciting things in store for you as we head into March! We're kicking off the month with artwork by Landon Marchant, whose creative choices of materials are sure to intrigue. The piece you see to the left uses cyanotype, turmeric, and handcrafted white paint using eggshells.
Our new catalog launches next week, and not long after that we invite you to join our 150th Anniversary Open House. Read on in this week's newsletter for more details!
Davis Bates, award-winning singer and storyteller, will present two programs of particpatory folk songs and stories for all ages at 11:15 a.m. and at 1:15 p.m.
Robin Brickman, nationally known illustrator and school workshop leader, will present two one-hour bookmark-making workshops for children (ages 5+) at 11:15 a.m. and at 12:45 p.m.

The events and programs of the Williamstown Library’s 150th anniversary are made possible through generous funding by lead sponsor MountainOne, your local Berkshires bank.
In just a few days time, on Monday, March 4th, our new online catalog will launch!
While it's packed with new features to make your book-browsing and borrowing easier than ever, there are a few steps you will need to consider before getting started.
Set your default pickup location. This will set automatically to your home library, and you will need to alter this if you wish your default pickup location to be elsewhere.
Enable reading history. This will also import any previous reading history, if you had it enabled.
Import Lists. Any lists you had previously made can be imported. You will be notified if certain titles or items cannot be transferred to the new catalog.
Once the catalog has launched, you can find tips on how to do all of the above and more! Just click the help button in the navigation bar, and you can find information in the "New Catalog FAQ" and "Catalog Help Guides" sections. Please contact us at the library if you encounter any difficulties!
Enjoy Hoopla Bonus Borrows Every Month!
Starting this month, for the last seven days of each calendar month, you will be able to borrow from a curated selection of TV shows, movies, comics and manga, eBooks, and audiobooks from Hoopla without using any of your monthly borrows.
Keep an eye out for more details later this month!
