The Mattapoisett Library now has eight fishing poles available for check out. Included are both saltwater and freshwater equipment, in great shape, thanks to patron and lifelong fisherman David Kaplan. He donated new poles to the library, some particularly suitable for children to use. Mr. Kaplan generously prepared a handout, which includes information about where to fish in Mattapoisett and in nearby waters, who needs a fishing license, and more. A link is included to help assure a successful outing with children.
This donation is an addition to the growing collection of items currently available to patrons within the Mattapoisett Library’s Library of Things. There are items to suit every interest. For those looking to stay busy outside, there are baseballs and mitts (child and adult sizes available), the bocce set, croquet set, metal detector, and Moby science backpacks. For those trying to avoid the heat, there is the instant pot, sewing machine, podcasting kit, meditation kit, and so much more. Visit our website, mattapoisettlibrary.org to see a complete list or call the library, 508-758-4171, with any questions.
