Did you know that you could make a Legacy Gift by naming the Lincoln Library in your Will or Living Trust? One of the most lasting and fitting ways of insuring the legacy of your love of reading, the community - or whatever the Library means to you - is to give back to your local public library. There are many different ways to give, so please think about the Lincoln Library when making your bequests. Contact the library today for more information by calling 453-2665 or emailing us at: lincolnlibraryvt@gmail.com
You could also benefit the Library and honor the memory of a loved one by giving a Memorial book or books to the Lincoln Library. This is a thoughtful and enduring way to ensure the legacy of a special person in your life. Memorial books may be purchased for the Library by contacting the Librarian. The Library staff will select a book in the subject area of your choice. A bookplate will be placed in the front of each memorial book showing the name of the deceased and the donor. We will also send an acknowledgement letter to the family thanking them for the donation.
Library News September 2016
- The newsletter will be out in a week or two and will be combined with October. Here are a few updates:
Story Hour has started again on Fridays at 10:30am. We welcome any child from birth - 5 years old. We have stories, puppets, songs, rhymes, a light snack and usually a craft, although we often go outside for snack and games if the weather is nice. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you again!
Summer Program Prizes: It's not too late to bring in your reading records and have them hung with the many others on the bulletin board in our children's area. I think this is the largest turn out yet of readers who met their reading goals. It is so exciting to see all of the titles and stickers and think about all of the parents who read to their children and also all of the children who read on their own! The Bristol Creeme Stand is closed, but we have alternate prizes, so feel free to come in.

Brooklyn is a 2015 Irish-British-Canadian romantic drama film directed by John Crowley and written by Nick Hornby, based on Colm Tóibín's novel of the same name. The film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emory Cohen, Domhnall Gleeson, Jim Broadbent, and Julie Walters. Set in 1951 and 1952, the film tells the story of a young Irish woman's immigration to Brooklyn, where she quickly falls into a romance. When her past catches up with her, however, she must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within them for her.
Brooklyn premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim.[4] It opened in limited release on 4 November 2015 in the United States and the UK on 6 November 2015.[5] The film was nominated for three Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
