Wednesday, 20 November 2013 Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching and the library will be closed on Thanksgiving Day. We will resume our normal hours on Friday. Our hours are: Monday-Thursday from 10 to 8:30; Friday and Saturday 10 to 5 and beginning the Sunday after Labor Day to the Sunday before Memorial Day, Sunday hours are 1 to 5. Only two weeks left in our South County Commmunity Raffle. Last Friday I took a box of toiletries down to South County and they were very glad to see the soaps and toothpaste. We have started collecting the next box and I will take the materials donated down to South County at the end of the Raffle. Remember to enter the raffle all you need to do is bring in some toiletries, handsoap, dishsoap, detergents, razors, or other personnal hygene or cleaning products to the library. For each item you get to put an entry slip into the drawing. The winner gets a basket with Two library mugs, a box of microwave popcorn, a box of hot cocoa mix, two family dvd's and a pocket day planner. There are families in this area that need your help, please enter this week. The Brown Bag Book Club is going well. In December, we are keeping the reading light with mystery. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is our author of the month, he is best know as the creator of Sherlock Holmes but he also wrote the Professor Challenger stories; the most famous being The Lost World. On the third Monday of the month, at noon, bring your lunch and your book to the library and share your reading experience of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Check out the Staff Favorite Reads on the shelf next to the reference desk across from the Reference Librarian's desk. Check out our display case in the lobby. The display this month are Holiday Barbies, some of them going back to the 1980's and 90's. They are very attactive and if you have young girls, I am sure that they will be enthralled with it. Until next week, keep safe. John
