A note from the Director:
This past week the Haverford Township Free Library and libraries across the nation celebrated National Library Week. We have had many special events to highlight the unique role libraries play in people’s lives. Today’s libraries can help you and your family discover a new and exciting world through library collections, digital resources, programs and so much more. Libraries are a great place to spend quality time and connect with loved ones, friends, neighbors, school mates, and business associates to name just a few. Caroline Kennedy is the honorary chairperson for this special week and is an advocate for reading, literacy and libraries. She has written or edited ten bestselling books on American history, politics and poetry. Her latest book is Poems to Learn by Heart. National Library Week can also be a time to reflect upon how libraries, and in particular the Haverford Township Free Library, have helped you. Has our library been able to assist you with your education, a job search, or research? Has it been a place for you to use the internet, attend a program, send your teen to afterschool programs or offer homeschooling tools? Please take a moment to share your story with me. It is so important to my staff and me to know so we can continue to provide you with even more resources! My email address is faris@haverfordlibrary.org.

A note from the Director:
Five years ago HTFL embarked on a new adventure of programming-the Murder Mystery Dinner. Mary Lou Kolowitz, Reference Department Manager had attended a Murder Mystery weekend and came back with the idea and adapted it to make it the Library’s own.

Don’t miss the opportunity for a good laugh, a little irreverence and a lot of FUN! Get your tickets TODAY-they are selling fast.

A note from the Director:It might say spring on the calendar, but there are still a few drifting snowflakes, and a chill in the air. Frankly, I think Punxsutawney Phil, who predicted an early spring, just wanted to get our hopes up. At HTFL, we are warming up with interesting programs for your spring. In a couple of weeks we will be celebrating National Library Week, a celebration of all libraries across the country, and we will have plenty to share with you about the event in the next issue of the HTFL Connection. The Board of Trustees, the Staff and the Friends of HTFL, wish all of you a Happy Passover, a Happy and Blessed Easter, and a very happy spring!

She’ll trace the forces of political and cultural change in American history that have both inspired and challenged women artists. Featured heavily will be works by 20th century artists that were part of a recent gift to PAFA by Linda Lee Alter. Their diversity of perspectives can tell us a great deal about who we are and where we've come from, from the political statements of Faith Ringgold and Sue Coe, to the gorgeous abstractions of Edna Andrade and Elizabeth Osborne.
Join us for the First Friday Flick and a showing of the recently released film Robot & Frank (2013) starring Frank Langella, James Marsden and Susan Sarandon.

They are tempted to place him in a nursing home until Frank’s son chooses a different option: against the old man’s wishes, he buys Frank a walking, talking humanoid robot programmed to improve his physical and mental health. What follows is an often hilarious and heartwarming story about finding friends and family in the most unexpected places.
