Millington Book Drop Relocated
As of yesterday, the Millington Book Drop has moved from in front of the town office to the parking lot of the Millington Elementary School. This move should facilitate a quicker return of library books to the shelf, by making use of the pre-existing courier route between the school and public libraries. And of course, we hope that you, our patrons will find the new location convenient.
Now you see it....
...Now you don't....
...But wait! There it is.
