Good afternoon everyone,

The Middletown Library Service Center has a pre-Black Friday deal: free seasonal books for your library or school library. If you already requested some, but want more, please ask again! We have quite a few picture books and some children's nonfiction. We can send your library up to 15 winter books, 25 Christmas books, 5 Hanukkah books, and 3 Kwanzaa books. They circulate for 90 days, shipping is free thanks to deliverIT CT, and we also offer free returns. They can also be picked up at the MLSC in Middletown by scheduling a curbside appointment: https://cslib.libcal.com/reserve/mlscappointments

For adult readers who enjoy large print, I can send your library up to 20 large print Christmas and up to 15 large print winter books. As always, if you want non-holiday large print, I can select a variety of books, or pick from certain genres: general fiction, western, romance, mystery, or non-fiction.

Please email Judy Crooks off-list to request children’s books: Judy.Crooks@ct.gov. Please email me off list to request large print books: Grace.Burchard@ct.gov If you want only some of the above categories, or fewer books than the numbers listed, just let us know. You’re also welcome to search our catalog and place holds: https://cscu-csl-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/search?vid=CSL_V1&lang=en_US If you have any questions about logging in, please call the Service Center: 860-704-2200. I hope you all have a happy, and healthy winter!
