All we will need is a valid photo ID and a short application completed to get you ready to check out books.We have many great books, magazines, newspapers, videos, DVDs, and reference materials for your enjoyment and information. 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.

Celebrate Chinese New Year at the Library

The Oxford Memorial Library is celebrating the Chinese New Year, The Year of the Dragon, during the month of March. First, Diesel Dan Wilcox will be back on Thursday March 29th at 7pm to present his "Catch a Dragon by the Tale" Family Night Story Time. This is sure to be a lot of fun for the entire family. Also in conjunction with the Year of the Dragon we will be showing the movie, "How To Train Your Dragon". This is a PG rated, 98 minute, 2010 animated film about a hapless young Viking who aspires to hunt dragons becomes the unlikely friend of a young dragon himself, and learns there may be more to the creatures than he assumed. Be sure to watch for a date and time for this movie event on this blog, in the Oxford Review Times, and on our Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/pages/Oxford-Memorial-Library/262088709527.
