26 September 2013

26 September 2013 Fall is here and with the fall comes a whole variety of activities at the Library. The Toddler and Baby times have been very well attended, much higher than we anticipated. The Teen programs began this week with popcorn and a movie. The tweens have made posters for Banned Book Week and they are on display at and near the circulation desk. Come in and view them and vote for your favorite poster. The Brown Bag Classics Club has had its first meeting. The next meeting will be on 21 October. For this meeting you have to read a book by Charles Dickens. Some books by Dickens in our collection are behind the circulation counter but we have a good selection in the fiction stacks for you to choose from. New display at the Library! On the south end of the circulation counter, we have a display of some of the favorite fiction books of the Library staff. If a title appeals to you pick it up and check it out. The staff has a lot of favorites to replace those that get checked out. Hope to see a lot of you at the Harvest Fest this coming Sunday. I will be manning the booth and Miss Kristy will be reading stories to the children. It is a great time and I encourage everyone to attend. Look for the details of a raffle coming up to help the South County pantry. We are putting together a prize basket and to enter you need to bring and item that is needed by South County pantry. You can enter as often as you want but you must bring in an item off the list to enter. The basket will contain some hot chocolate mix, some micorwave popcorn and two coffee mugs with the Library logo on it. There is on final item we are workig on to complete the basket and I will tell you what it is next week. We will start the raffle on Monday, 6 October and it run through Sunday, 17 November. There are many people in our area who need a little extra help and this is a great way for you to help your neighbor. We ask you bring in items from this list: Toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, shaving cream, disposable razors, shaving lotion, bar soap, shampoo, hair conditioner, hand soap, laundry detergent, dish soap, and other toiletries and household cleaners. Look for the library article in the South County News and remember to support our local merchants. John
