Attleboro Public Library will be closed on Monday, October 14, in observance of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. To learn more about this holiday, visit the National Museum of the American Indian. To find novels by Native authors, visit this blog post from the Library of Congress. Looking for books on the Native experience for younger readers? Read Brightly has just the thing for you!
We will be open through Saturday for you to stock up on books, films, board games, music, and more. Also use the eLibrary to access streaming services like Kanopy, or online databases like Mango Languages and Peterson’s Test Prep. We will resume regular hours when we open at 8:30am on Tuesday, October 15.
