What was your favorite book? New Year is coming…

Filed December 29, 2011 at 7:39 am under by librarian

Hello all, it is so hard to believe this year is almost over! I had a comment on the Mrs. Pollifax’s books and it got me to thinking “What was my favorite book this year?” I had several books that I really enjoyed or that really intrigued me. Two nonfiction The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. For fiction I guess for total comfort it has to be the Mrs. Pollifax books. What have you read and enjoyed?

Remember we will be closed Monday, January 2nd, in observance of New Year’s Day. Hope to see you soon!

Hello all, well I made it out and the library will be open today. The streets are still a little precarious and ice is under all that snow, so be careful.

I received a fun website on Santa, for tracking him this Christmas click on Tracking Santa.

Cancelling Santa for the little kids…

Well it does look like the winter weather is actually going to happen so we have made the decision to cancel Santa at the Library this year. Don’t worry Santa will make it to your house just not to the library this year. Merry Christmas!

Don’t forget the library will be open each day over the holiday break except the two Monday’s, December 26th and January 2nd. We close for lunch from 12 to 1. Hope to see you at the library!
