Thanks to the generosity of RTN Federal Credit Union staff, members and those in the community, area kids are heading back to school with backpacks filled with supplies. The donations, collected at RTN’s Waltham, Tewksbury and Amesbury branches, will benefit children and youth in need at Waltham schools and those associated with the Wish Project in Lowell and Pettengill House in Salisbury.

The Waltham Public Library is excited to announce the arrival of our new Playaway Launchpad collection for patron checkout. Playaway Launchpads are the first ever secure learning tablet designed for children.
