Morse Institute Library wants your input on current, future services

by 1 Comment

Morse Institute Library in Natick has launched a survey to get your views on the library, whether or not you use it.

Questions cover issues such as where your library card is from, and what you’re looking for from the library, including graphic novels and WiFi hotspots, and what sorts of rooms are most important to.

The library estimates it will take you about 7 minutes to complete the survey.

Online event will explore Natick historical newspapers—whatever newspapers are

by Leave a Comment

As an online-only publication, we at Natick Report don’t really get what newspapers are. But we do get digital stuff, so we’re interested in Natick Historical Society’s online event on Dec. 1 at 7pm that discusses Morse Institute Library’s digital repository of historic newspapers of Natick dating back more than 150 years.

This free Zoom event will feature local librarian Karol Bartlett. Advanced registration is required.

Fiber arts exhibit at Morse Institute in Natick keeps the autumn color going

by Leave a Comment

Quilters, knitters, crocheters, embroiderers and other fiber artists have contributed dozens of pieces to the Morse Institute for the library’s November fiber arts exhibit. We stopped in during the display’s installation phase to watch as all available space on the main floor practically on up to the rafters was transformed into a colorful collage of handmade works. Here are some pics:
