Just come in during the month of February and ask us to “share the love” by wiping out those fines! We will remove all fines from you account. This does not apply to lost or damaged material. You must come into the library and ask the staff to remove your fines. The fines must belong to Martinsville patrons. It is only applicable during the month of February as well. If you have any questions, give the library a call at 217-382-4113

You don’t have to be on a plant based diet to enjoy this program. In January we will be making stir fry. February will be hummus, more than one way. Join us for some hands on learning, great take home recipes and some fun taste testing.

While it is not necessary to RSVP for this program, it is appreciated.

Community Calendar A hands-on, pounds-off approach to weight loss®

TOPS® (Take Off Pounds SensiblySM) is short for TOPS Club, Inc., the original weight-loss support organization. TOPS Club Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), noncommercial network of weight-loss support groups throughout the United States and Canada. TOPS offers tools and programs for healthy living, wellness and weight management, with exceptional group fellowship and recognition. TOPS doesn't pay celebrities to endorse us, and we don't promise quick fixes or promote unrealistic images of the "perfect" body. Instead we focus on health. TOPS can't do the work for you. You only get out of TOPS what you put into it. We can't guarantee weight loss just by attending meetings, but we can offer support through each stage of the journey, including after you reach your goal weight. The TOPS mission is to help and support our members as they take off and keep off pounds sensibly. TOPS is open to women, men and children (7 and older). We offer a network of thousands of weight-loss support groups across the United States and Canada. Annual dues are $32 in the U.S. and $44* CAD in Canada ($46 in 2019), plus nominal chapter fees to cover operating costs—on average, about $5 per month. Weekly meetings include private weigh-ins and professionally prepared informational chapter programs featuring current nutrition, fitness and wellness information. Programs provide positive reinforcement and motivation to adhere to healthy eating and exercise programs. In 2017, TOPS members collectively lost 270 TONS! For more information about TOPS in Martinsville stop by a meeting any Tuesday at 5:00 pm downstairs at the library. The first meeting is free!

The staff at the Library would like to thank the great volunteers who helped with the Holiday Open House.
