See you at the Library in the New Year

For many, the annual turning of the calendar means reflection on the year past and plans for the one ahead. As you ponder new goals or projects for 2013, consider a few of these ideas:

Cook something new every month --check out the Friends' recommendations for inspiring cookbooks in the sidebar!
Read more --join a book group at the library
Meet new people --go to an author event, a community disucssion, or a toddler sing-along at the library and meet a few Cambridge neighbors
Be healthy --take a walk to your local library branch
Learn a new craft, skill or just expand your interests --check out a library book on a subject you've always wanted to know more about.

There are always great things happening at the library! For more information on how you can get involved with the Friends and help support our Cambridge libraries, click here.

About The Cambridge Public Library

The Cambridge Public Library and its six branches serve as a doorway to opportunity, self-development and recreation for all its residents, and as a forum where they may share ideas, cultures and resources among themselves and with people around the globe. The free availability of information, the lively interaction of people, and the open exchange of ideas animate and extend the democratic mission of the library.
