Between the Stacks: 12/13/2023

We want to extend a BIG thank you to our Friends and volunteers who helped out in the Library during the Christmas Fest. Patrons selected over 200 coats, hats, gloves, scarves, and socks from the Winter Wear Giveaway. It was so much fun to see all the children showing us their new hats and winter clothing. Thank you to everyone who donated new items for this most important program.

Wednesday, December 13th, the Library will be hosting an adult Christmas Crafts gathering at 2:30 PM. Crafters will be making miniature felt gingerbread houses and wooden ornaments. Everyone is invited to come and share a festive afternoon with old friends and new ones.

The History Book Club will not meet this month as the regular meeting day is December 25th. The club voted to find a large book on any subject and finish it before the January meeting. It may be on any subject during any time in history. Patrons could choose a biography, country history, significant event, or social history to share.

The Library will be closed for Christmas on December 23rd -25th. The Library will be open on Friday for regular hours and on Tuesday for regular hours. The book drop will be emptied during the weekend if patrons wish to return things during the holidays. The Library will be closed on January 1st and open regular hours the rest of the week for New Year's Day.

There will be no programming between Christmas Day and New Year's Day as the staff will be busy planning all of the new programs for the winter season. Don't forget to pick up your book bingo card on January 2nd and read for prizes. The contest will end on April 30, so everyone has plenty of time to finish their cards.

We still have a few hats available if anyone needs a warm winter hat. Just stop by the front desk and staff will be glad to gather a selection to choose from.
