The Friends of the Georgetown Peabody Library will be hosting a pop up book sale outdoors near the children’s garden every Friday in October from 12 PM to 4:30 PM (weather permitting). They will have “mystery bags” of books available for everyone. Bags will be identified by category: mysteries, picture books, beach reads, etc. There will be at least 5 books in each bag.
The Friends are making the sale as contactless as possible:
The books are taken from donations made before the pandemic and placed in sealed bags.
Bags cannot be opened and handled.
The bags are not priced. Patrons are encouraged to make a goodwill cash donation. However, this is not required and if you are not in a position to donate, you may still take a bag.
We will accept checks or cash. There will be a receptacle in which to put your cash donation in. Please note that the Friends helping out at the table cannot handle the money.
Decorate a ghost to look like a book character. The GHOST forms are available (on the table in front of the library) during curbside pick up: Mondays 2-6, Tuesdays 10-5, Wednesdays 2-6, and Fridays 10-5 from October 5th through October 23rd. Send a picture of your completed ghost to cdewitt@georgetownpl.org.

Check out the Story Walk on the library lawn. The stories will be swapped out every 2-3 weeks until the weather gets too cold. Please practice social distancing while you participate.
Kids in Kindergarten through 3rd grade are invited to register for the Beginner’s Online Bookclub on Zoom. Each participant will be provided with a library copy of the month’s book selection, along with supplies for that month’s craft. The book will be read together online (independent reading skills are not required). Join us for a book discussion and questions, along with jokes, riddles, and share time! Register to receive the Zoom link and instructions on how to pick up the book and craft kit.
Masks must cover nose and mouth at all times while in the building. Patrons will also be asked to use hand sanitizer upon entering. Social distancing protocols are required.
Your patience with our adjustments to this ever changing situation is GREATLY appreciated!
Did you know most items checked out from the library will be automatically renewed? Check out this FAQ sheet for more information.
Most items checked out from the Georgetown Peabody Library will automatically renew if they have not been returned three days before their due date. Patrons will no longer have to take any steps to renew items in their possession, even if the items came from a library in Georgetown’s network of libraries.
Items that cannot be renewed include: items on waiting lists, items that have reached their renewal limit, items borrowed from outside the Merrimack Valley Library Consortium and items checked out from a nonparticipating library.
There will be no curbside pickup and staff will not be in the building on Monday, September 7 in observance of Labor Day.
You can always access the catalog and our online resources anytime from the library’s website.
