Clark Memorial Library is excited to begin offering 3D printing services in 2025!

There will be a trial period in March while we establish policies and procedures – during which we invite patrons to take part in one of our 3D Printer Orientations, where they’ll learn about the Library’s 3D printing resources and how to use the printer and its associated software! Patrons will not be charged for prints made during the trial period.

Space is limited, so please call the Library at (203) 393-2103 or speak to a librarian in person to sign up. There will be an orientation on Tuesday, March 11, 4:30-5:00 PM, and on Saturday, March 15, 11:00-11:30 PM. It’s only necessary to attend one of the orientations; we will be covering the same information in both.

The Library’s video streaming service, Kanopy, is offering a curated collection of romantic films, heartwarming love stories, and touching documentaries for the Valentine’s weekend! These titles explore the many facets of love, from the joy of new romance to the enduring strength of long-term relationships.

You can use your library card to access this collection, as well as hundreds of other classic and indie films, TV shows, and documentaries. New media and watchlists are added on a regular basis.

This month our themed book displays are filled with fantastic stories of myth and legend! Featuring both classic fairy tales and more modern fables, there’s something here for any fan of fiction – and we have books that explore the historical foundations of fantasy as well, for those who prefer facts. Stop by and try a tall tale today!

The art teachers of Amity High School and Bethany and Orange Middle Schools are collaborating with Arts@Clark! to display student artwork at the Library during February and March. Stop in any time during Library hours to see the work of a new generation of artists in the glass art displays and the Community Room!

A reception will take place on Thursday, March 6, from 4:00 – 6:00 PM in the Community Room.

February is Black History Month, and the Library’s video streaming service, Kanopy, is honoring this celebration of the rich cultural heritage and impactful achievements of Black Americans with a selection of powerful films. Kanopy’s curated watchlists offer profound looks into the history, resilience, and progress of the Black community. For more information about the holiday and access to countless other resources and events, you can visit the Black History Month web portal.

Have you seen our Sustainable Bethany display, located just outside of the Teens & Tweens area upstairs? Each of the books on display has been recommended by the Bethany Sustainability Association, the local branch of Sustainable CT.

Sustainable CT is a voluntary certification program that provides opportunities for grant funding to help communities promote economic well-being and enhance equity. Reviews of selected additions are posted on the bulletin board, providing both an overview of each book’s content and the reasoning behind its recommendation. Stop by and take a look!

Make a valentine at the Library!
Tuesday, February 4th through Friday, February 14th during Library hours, we will have supplies available in the makerspace for patrons to create their own custom Valentine’s Day cards! All ages welcome!
