The 90 minute program will be broken up into three parts:
10:00 – Getting Started (approx. 35 min.) – We cover downloading Libby, getting signed in, then key features and navigation (searching for titles, borrowing/placing holds, adjusting reading settings, audiobook features, and setting notification preferences) of the Libby app
10:35 – Open Office (approx. 10 min.) – During this time, we answer any questions from attendees and test attendees’ knowledge on what we just covered in Getting Started
10:45 – Tips & Tricks (approx.. 30 min.) – During this session, we take a deep dive into 4 of our favorite features of Libby (5 if your library uses Magazines). Following these tricks, we’ll use the remaining 15 minutes to answer and demo any questions that have come through live on screen.
Registered attendees can come and go as they please. Want to learn the basics? Come at 10:00. Just have a few questions? Come at 10:35. Already using Libby but want to know more? Join at 10:45.
Also, the sessions will be recorded, and the recording will be automatically shared with anyone who registers for the event. You are encouraged to register even if you cannot attend the live event – you will still receive the recordings.

About The Book: Part history and part call to action, Dyke’s well-researched book highlights the dramatic life of the Merrimack River, from the colorful days of the Native Americans to its current status as one of the most scenic recreational waterways in New England. The 117-mile river runs from central New Hampshire to Newburyport, Massachusetts, where it meets the Atlantic. Here the Coast Guard was born and colonial trade thrived. The Industrial Revolution was launched in the riverside mills of Lowell, Massachusetts and Manchester, New Hampshire. The science of clean drinking water was developed in Lawrence, Massachusetts and the first successful labor action also took place in Lawrence. Thousands of immigrants worked in mills along the Merrimack, and this book tells their riveting stories. In the 70s, the once-filthy Merrimack was cleaned up to serve again as one of the most popular waterways in New England. The Merrimack is still an essential resource. It serves as the source of drinking water for a half-million people. Many have seen part of the Merrimack River, but this unique book provides info and images about all sectors of this great waterway.
About The Author: Dyke Hendrickson is the outreach historian for the Merrimack River Watershed Council. In that role, he speaks on the history of the Coast Guard and of the Merrimack River. He graduated from Franklin and Marshall College with a degree in history, and he did graduate work at the University of Maine, Orono. He is a former writer and/or editor with the Portland Press Herald, the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Boston Herald and The Daily News in Newburyport.
Sponsored by the Friends of the Tewksbury Public Library. Presented in collaboration with libraries throughout Massachusetts.
