SPRING VALLEY — The Richard A. Mautino Memorial Library is celebrating National Library Week with the theme “Lives Change @ Your Library.”

Amnesty Weeks will continue until April 26.

Patrons who have any items checked out and they are overdue, bring them into the library or drop them into the book drop on the west side of the building and owe nothing on those items.

However, if an item is damaged or lost, the patron must pay the full amount for the item. If a patron has a previous fine, pick up a coupon for $1 off at the circulation desks. Also during these two weeks, there will be free replacement on lost and/or damaged Richard Mautino Library cards.

Friday, April 18, the library will be closed in observance of Good Friday.

Tuesday, April 22,

story time in the children’s department will be from 5:30 to 6 p.m.

Participants will make wind chimes out of recycled materials.

Wednesday, April 23, there will be an after school kite craft from 4 to 5 p.m.

MINERAL — The Mineral-Gold Library will be celebrating National Library Week from April 14 to 19. Stop in for refreshments all week, check out all of the library’s new books, pick up color pages for the little ones, and see what’s in the book sale.

NEPONSET — The Neponset Library has been celebrating National Library Week with fun programs and events for all ages this week.

On Saturday, April 19, the library will host a candy bar Bingo event from 1 to 3 p.m.

A Bingo card costs one regular-sized candy bar.

Participants can play up to three bingo cards per game. It will be fun to see who walks away with the most candy bars.

The event welcomes all ages.

Tuesday, April 22, the library will host an e-book basics program from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.

Patrons are asked to bring passwords for their accounts and their Neponset Public Library cards.
