Internet access is also available for any patron age 10 and up on one of our 3 public computers. You will need a valid and fine free library card and complete a short orientation application to use the internet services.We also have great meeting spaces to accomodate almost any size group. Call the library at 843-6146 or stop by the front desk to pick up an application for room use. All applications MUST be pre-approved by the Library Director prior to use.

Please be sure to encourage your child to not only read for school, but to take time each day and read for pleasure. In addition to great books, reading can include a newspaper, magazine, or graphic novel. Maybe together you and your child can read a book that inspired a movie. Then watch the movie and compare it to the book. The result may surprise you.

Polar Express At The OML Was A Huge Hit!

The Oxford Memorial Library welcomed more than 60 passengers for a trip to the North Pole on the Polar Express. Bill Brower, a.k.a. Mr. Conductor, once again, brought the classic childrens' book, The Polar Express, by Chris Van Allsburg, to life for passengers of all ages. Following the ride, passengers were surprised by a special guest, SANTA! There was a collective gasp from children and adults when Santa made his entrance. Every child had an opportunity to sit on Santa's lap and give him some, in-person, requests for Christmas morning. Every child received a present (book), a candy cane, and a bell. Passengers were also treated to some hot cocoa and cookies for snack. It was a great evening. Thank you to all who attended! We wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy and Blessed New Year!
