Feeling overwhelmed? Raising teens today with all of the daily pressures we face is much different than it used to be. But while peers influence each other, parents are the most important influences in their lives, especially if they keep the lines of communication open. Come hear Peter Wolf, LMSW, ACSW, talk about these issues and some solutions.

Plymouth Advantage E-Book Collection |
|
|
|
 E-books used on Kindles, Nooks and other e-readers continue to gain in popularity each month. Plymouth District Library is a member of the MCLS Digital Consortium, a group of 25 libraries spread across the southern part of Michigan. Patrons from each of these libraries are downloading from the same group collection and this may result in long wait lists for bestsellers. Needless to say, none of us want to be number 100 on a wait list for a popular book! For this reason, Plymouth has become an Advantage member Library which means additional copies of these same e-books are purchased for Plymouth residents ONLY.

 We are delighted to have a new display case on our main level – a gift from the Friends of the Library. Over the holidays it held the Night Before Christmas book collection of Becky Hurst. In the past, our children’s area display case has held such fun displays as this Pez Dispenser collection pictured here.
Our new case is a locked case and can be found in our busy DVD area under the skylight. If you have a collection that you think our patrons - young or old - might enjoy, we'd love to talk with you about it. Please contact us at 734.453.0750, ext. 242 or
