 Go mobile! The Acorn Catalog app from Bibliomation, Inc. lets you search the library catalog, see what you have checked out or on hold, renew what you have checked out, and review your fines. You will need to sign into the app using your library card number and password. Bonus! Once you are signed in, the app can display your library card barcode, which you can use at the front desk if you forget to bring your library card with you. To download the free app, go to the Google Play or Apple App Store. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Our newly renovated Children's Room will officially re-open on Tuesday, March 9th! We are so grateful to our community for your patience and flexibility as we navigated construction in the time of COVID. We can't wait to show off the bright, spacious room and hope you will stop in to say hello! Please remember, COVID protocols will still be in place, which means face masks, social distancing and capacity limits in the room. Curbside pickup is still an option if you are not yet comfortable entering the library.
Please call 203-783-3312 or email mplchildren@milfordct.gov with any questions.
