Children’s Winter Programs
Our annual Family Reading and Science program presented by the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History begins next Saturday, January 21. This year’s theme is Vital Signs: How Health Works.
Monthly children’s book clubs will also begin this month. We’ll start with mysteries for each age group in January and continue with different themes each month.
We have started the new year with a new Storytime schedule including the addition of an afternoon session.
See the children’s page for more information and to register for any of these programs.

Looking for Free E-Books and Audioboooks?
If your holidays brought a new e-reader into your life, you’ll want to know how to check out free e-books and audiobooks from the Milan Public Library through our membership in the Woodlands Cooperative Overdrive service.
Audiobooks and eBooks are handled much like print books, which means there are limited ‘copies’ available. You can place a reserve on any title that someone else has checked out and you’ll be notified when it’s available for you. Not all publishers offer their books through this service.
To get started, try the guided tour or go to OverDrive’s My Help for device specific help for the most common readers.
The Library will be offering a general program on eBooks and readers on Saturday, Jan. 21 from 1-3 p.m. Register online here or call 439-1240.
