Here we stand at the end of 2024 & the beginning of 2025. We are hopeful & excited about what the next year will bring. We are facing our resolutions for the year - waiting to see what we will accomplish, debating lifestyle changes, looking at new hobbies to try.
Don't forget that the library is here to help. We've got cookbooks; books about physical health, mental health, wellness in general; we've got books to help you with your hobbies; & we've got databases galore. (Want to learn about your family in 2025 - we've got Ancestry & Family Search. Looking to learn a language - Mango. Interested in automotive stuff - Chilton Auto Repair & Small Engine Repair Source.)
We are still running the seed library out of the Quincy Public Library's Reference Department.
And of course, we are still here doing what we do best - checking out books, movies, & the lot. If there are things from 2024 that you want to catch up on, come see us! If the Quincy Public Library doesn't have it, we can usually find it. Unsure of what you're looking for, we are more than happy to try to help figure it out. And of course, everyone & their brother has a list of the "best" from 2024. Feel free to look through a few of what we found, to see what catches your eye. (Granted, there is some overlap but there are also some differences.)
