Season’s Greetings & Happy Readings!

Sorry to be so long between postings. It’s been a hectic fall at the library, followed by the wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, and more holidays just around the corner.

We hope you’ve survived our recent winter weather and are getting back to your normal schedule, including visiting the library! While you are here, check out our terrific holiday tree, showcasing popular children’s books. We have dolls and toys to complement each selection. Thanks to a gift of the Nab Family, we are able to add new storybooks and dolls each year. Young and old will delight in the generations of reading displayed on the tree.

TOOT! TOOT! Our display case features the Polar Express train for the 2nd year in a row. Developed through the Nab Family gift, and created with the many artistic talents of library page Holly Hutchinson, the holiday exhibit is another reason to visit the library this month.

Are you looking for Christmas gift ideas? Consider a Friends of the Library book bag for $8, a Friends membership, or an autographed catalog card! In addition, you can honor a loved one with a book or other item for the library collection. Check with library staff – it’s an easy way to show you care and to help the library!

One of my December resolutions (why wait until the New Year!!) is to do at least two blog postings a week. You can be sure that I’ll have to keep them up, since I’m publicly announcing this intention. I need to be accountable for what I promise!

Enjoy the holiday and the holiday spirit!
