For everyone who has been wondering when the concrete was going to be poured for the new memorial bench and bicycle rack area, you can stop wondering. The concrete was poured this morning and will look wonderful when it dries.
We have been gifted funds to purchase a bench in memory of the former Upton Branch Manager, MarJean Rinegar. After the concrete is cured we will be placing the bench and purchasing some signage for the memorial bench.
The bench is a wonderful additiion to the front of the Upton Branch Library. The bench was purchased by MarJean Rinegar's daughter in MarJean's memory. MarJean Rinegar was the Branch Manager from 1972 until 1989.

Summer Reading Has Ended
I realize it has been awhile since I have updated this blog. Summer has been very busy at the Upton Branch Library.
Our Summer Reading Program has officially ended as of July 24. For the children signed up for the program, if you have not finished, you may still finish and receive a prize for reading your books. We still have prizes left and if you finish up before school starts you will still be awarded a prize, so keep on reading.
The Upton Branch Library has been donated some used library shelving and we are in the process of rearranging the existing shelving to make room for this additional shelving we are getting. Things are sort of mixed up right now, so if you cannot locate the item you need, please ask us to assist you.
This used shelving should give us an additional amount of shelving for our growing young adult collection. Also we should have more room in our picture book area. Things will be tight but we need the additional shelving for all of the new books we have been able to add in the past couple of years.
Please come by and check out your local library. The book collection is ever changing and has something for everyone. Enjoy your local library.
