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.

Catch A Dragon By The Tale Family Story Time

Diesel Dan Wilcox returns on Thursday March 29th at 7pm with a very special storytime. This storytime will celebrate Chinese New Year: The Year of the Dragon. Dan will share stories and poems featuring dragons. Come and join the fun and adventure. Be sure to bring your imagination! For more information on this and other great programs at the library call us at 843-6146.

In keeping with the dragon theme we have 2 other exciting dragon programs planned to entertain you, and a special program from Suzanne Bloom.
    First: Join us on Wednesday April 11th at 6:30pm in the Community/ Youth Services Room of the library for 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.
    Next: Take a break from the dragons and take time to Wish On A Star with Suzanne Bloom on Saturday April 14th in the Community/ Youth Services Room of the library.
    Finally: Bring the whole family to the library's Community/ Youth Services Room on Thursday April 19th at 7pm for a special evening with a Knight in Shining Armor. Sir William McManus will entertain us with tales of knights and medieval times. Everyone will have an opportunity to see and touch the armor of a knight, complete with chain mail. It has been several years since Sir William has visited the Oxford library and you will not want to miss it.
