Skip a jolly beat into the library this season

We’re upon the holiday season. Decorations are slowly starting to come out on lawns and the lights are going up.  The library is also getting into a festive mood.

Library and Lunch will meet on Tuesday, December 10 at 12 p.m. for holiday tales.  Read a holiday themed book and come discuss it at the library. Plan to join us over the lunch hour.

We have two musical events at the library in December.  The Bell Choir will be performing at the library on Tuesday, December 3 at 7 p.m. and we’re excited to welcome the Redskin Singers for their annual holiday appearance on Thursday, December 12 at 7:10 p.m.  Light refreshments will be served.

Our last Recipe Swap was a crockpot success! The next one combines the theme of two upcoming holidays and will be held on Monday, December 9 at 6:30 p.m.

The children’s department has plentiful activities for the kiddos the rest of the year.

Chess will be on Mondays at 6 p.m.  We have some kids who are becoming chess aficionados. Story Fun is held on Mondays at 11:15 a.m., Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m., Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m., and Thursdays at 11:15 a.m.  There will be no activities the week of December 23.

There will be a Family Place Play Day on Saturday, November 30 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.  For all the kids and their families who were a part of our two Family Place workshops this past year, there will be a Family Place Reunion taking place on Tuesday, December 10 at 6 p.m. Come mingle and play.

The library’s Annual Gingerbread House Decorating for children ages 4 through 11 will take place on Saturday, December 15, with two sessions being offered. The session times will be 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.  All materials are provided.  Make sure your kiddo wears something that’s okay in case there are any frosting explosions. Reservations are required and will open on December 2, so phone or stop by the library today to secure a spot.

Santa will be making an appearance at the library before he starts his journey on Tuesday, December 17 at 6 p.m.

The library will be closed for the Thanksgiving Day holiday on Thursday, November 28 and Friday, November 29.  We will reopen on Saturday, November 30 at 9 a.m.

The library will also be closed part of the day on Wednesday, December 4 for staff development training. We will reopen at 4 p.m. that day.

If you’re passing by the library, everything may be returned via the book drops.  There are still individuals who ponder the return of DVDs in the book drops.  Besides e-readers and pre-literacy kits, all items may be returned to the book drops all year long.

For the latest library programming take a peek at the library website or grab a newsletter from the circulation desk. Stay tuned and connected through our social media pages.  If you have any question or suggestions about books or programs don’t hesitate to ask.  See you at the library this season!
