February Book Discussion Group  
The Flatshare, by Beth O'Leary
Tuesday, February 25, 3:00 p.m.
South Yarmouth Library
This month's book discussion group selection is The Flatshare, by Beth O'Leary. After a bad breakup, Tiffy Moore desperately needs a place to live, so she signs up for a flatshare in London. Leon, a night shift worker, will take the apartment during the day, and Tiffy can have it nights and weekends. Tiffy and Leon start writing each other notes and soon become friends -- and then maybe more. But falling in love with your roommate is probably a terrible idea... especially if you've never met. Copies are available for borrowing at the South Yarmouth circulation desk. Light refreshments will be served.

Fine Forgiveness and
Patron Appreciation
February 2020

Bring your overdue items to the Yarmouth Town Libraries along with any unexpired, non-perishable items for the Yarmouth Food Pantry from now until February 29, and we will forgive your fines. This applies to overdue fines only, and does not cover lost items. If you bring extra donations and wish to help another person's fines be forgiven, you can “pay it forward” and leave an extra item beside the bin for another person to donate.

The Pantry is always in need of paper products, laundry and dish washing soap, cleaning supplies, and food storage wraps or baggies. We will accept donations at the South Yarmouth or West Yarmouth Library locations during the month of February.
