Author Jeff Hein will be here at the Mellen Library on April 23rd at 6:30pm to share his newly released third novel in the Cimbrian War series, “Terror Cimbricus”.  Hein will have books available for purchase and will sign them for you.  If you need to catch up, the library has his first two books in the series available for check out, “Out of the Northern Mists, The Cimbri Appear” and “Rise of the Red Wolf”.  Jeff Hein is a graduate of Mellen High School, come out and celebrate his success as we welcome him back to Mellen.

The Northern Waters Library Network now has a new catalog.  If you use a mobile device for placing holds you must download the Northern Waters Library Network app from your preferred app store to access the new catalog.  The benefits of the mobile app are the ability to add your library card to your device’s digital wallet for easy access, search the catalog and request items to be delivered to your home library, and you may scan the UPC symbol an any book and find out if your library has it in their collection.

Please note:  The Library will be closed on Friday, April 18th.  The Library will be open on Saturday, April 19th.
