Newtown residents are being welcomed back to C.H. Booth Library today with a series of events.  The library was closed by burst sprinkler pipe in January.  Acting Library Director Beryl Harrison says reconstruction is finished and the newly improved facility is open for business.

Fine amnesty will continue through April 1st for residents to return overdue items.  Patrons were asked to hold onto books, DVDs and other material while the library was closed.  Any item returned after April 1st will be subject to late fees. 

For children, there will be music, a juggle, crafts and lego stations.  For adults there will be a book discussion featuring singer/songwriter, Lenny Levine who writes mystery novels and short stories which can be funny, sad, touching and suspenseful all at once. 

Today's events take place during normal Library hours of 9:30am to 5pm.
