Did You Know?

You can pick up and/or print your 2024 income tax forms at the Library!
Physical copies of Form 1040 and Form 1040-SR, as well as instructions on how to view, download, and print Connecticut income tax forms and other IRS publications, are available on the right-hand side of the table underneath the Library bulletin board. The Library’s public computers can be used to access forms that are only available digitally; we do not charge patrons printing fees for tax forms.

The Library has added an indoor book drop to our foyer! Located on the left, next to the curbside pickup table, this book drop allows patrons who are picking up their holds to drop off returns at the same time. We hope you’ll find this new addition helpful!

January is National Hobby Month, a time to celebrate your favorite hobbies and pastimes, and to try out new ones. Our book displays this month showcase all kinds of hobbies, from outdoor activities like swimming or hiking, to artsy projects like painting or knitting, as well as stories about characters having fun following their passions. Take a look – you could pick up a new hobby, or get back into an old one that you haven’t thought about in a while!

Over the last several weeks Clark Memorial Library has collaborated with Bethany Historical Society and Bethany residents to create “A Historical Walk Through Bethany”, a photo exhibit highlighting the transitions of Bethany’s iconic people, places, and events through the years. Thank you to everyone who provided photos! The exhibit will be on display in the Library’s Community Room throughout January, and there will be a reception with light refreshments on Saturday, January 18th, from 1:00-2:00 PM. While you’re here, be sure to check out the Three Sisters Boundary Stone (on display in the hallway outside the Community Room) as well!
