Family Movie Collection: 
Are you looking for good movies the whole family can enjoy?
In a hurry and don't have time to search through our entire DVD collection for a movie to entertain the kiddos on a snow day?
We've got you covered!
Howe Library, with a generous gift from the Ives Family has established a Family Movie Collection.
Mary Ryan, Howe's movie, audio book and music librarian has selected and organized an excellent collection of both old favorites and newer movies. Family movies have the green label, shown above; the movies are rated G, PG or PG13. A few older movies have no rating as they are pre-rating releases. Movies rated PG & PG13 are clearly labeled for easy visiblity as you browse the shelves.
To highlight this new service, the Family Movie Collection is currently located across from the circulation desk.
Stop in for a family movie for the weekend, vacation week, anytime!

If you have questions or would like help with our new service or any library services, just ASK US. Amazon Kindles:
Effective October 6, 2008, the Howe Library is lending three Amazon Kindles -- wireless and portable reading devices. Each device holds approximately 200 titles, but Howe Library will only be offering a limited number of titles because our goal is to simply expose patrons to new technologies. More information about the Kindle may be found at Amazon's web site: www.amazon.com.
This new service was made available by the Sunup Foundation which has recently donated funds in memory of Joy Lange Boardman, a long-time library volunteer.
