We are excited to offer Ancestry Library Edition in our building!   Click here for access! This service is an awesome way to find old records for your family, from vital records and census data, to more interesting ephemera like draft cards and high school yearbook photos. Take a look around and see what you can find! Ancestry Library is totally different from the personal edition of Ancestry, so it might be a little confusing. Don't worry - during the summer, Katherine will be posting a lot of tutorials and hosting Q&A sessions to help people get into the service.…

Hey there - I haven't updated this blog with writing in a little bit. Did you know that working with the public during a global health crisis is really exhausting? I am honestly so inspired by the people at the front desk every day. They're always impressive, but right now moreso. Anyway - why am I writing? Because we have a podcast! I am the main creator and producer, and Alyce in the children's department submits some great content for it as well. It's probably one of the most fun things I'm doing for work right now. Please give it…

The library has a new podcast! Novel-Tea from the North Scituate Library is our place to talk about books, new and old, and share the hottest library gossip.

I just got back from vacation! Hello! I didn't go anywhere, but taking some time at home is always really nice for me. Before I left, and now that I'm back, I'm spending a lot of time working with the nonfiction collection. It is kind of out of control in here, because my job is to take care of patrons. Lately, though, there aren't as many of you coming in for my help, so I have time. This is what I've been working on: Oh, very exciting, very exciting, a picture of bookshelves. What you don't see is just how…
