March 10th and a beautiful day... Spring is on the way!

Our "new" hours seem to be working well...just a reminder: We are now open three days a week for your browsing pleasure! Mondays 9 - 12, Wednesdays 1 - 5, and Saturdays 9 - 12

We, here at the library are in vaccination mode. Sheila is done and I finished up yesterday... feeling good and working today. Jane is next and we just want to give a heads up.... We will need to be closed Saturday, March 27th. We are all so grateful that this will soon be checked off for our staff and we hope the rest of you will complete your regiment soon.

Our Book Sale shelves are full and located by the back entrance. You are welcome to stop by during our regular hours and make your selections. Payment is by donation.

Janes's Story Time this week is Cozy by Jan Brett (picture book). The story is about a big musk ox named Cozy. These animals are big and wooly and live in the Arctic where it is very cold and no trees grow. We are working to have our weekly story time appear on our webpage but he are still having a problem. Meanwhile, Jane is happy to email this fun event to you. Just let her know you would like it... jkelso@rumneylibrary.org

Four cartons of books just arrived from our friend Susie in Chicago. She has been so generous to our library over the years which we much appreciate. We have books for all genres and ages and will be working to get them entered, labeled and on the shelves.

We've added a few new books to our collection:

Under One Roof by Barry Martin (Fiction/2013) - What happens when the head of a major construction project comes up against a feisty octogenarian who doesn't want to sell? I am guessing that they both learn a little something.

Ladder to the Light, An Indigenous Elder's Meditations on Hope and Courage by Steven Charleston (Body & Soul/2021) - I follow Mr Charleston daily on FB and his daily meditations give the wisdom we need for living these days... a very thoughtful man.

Blackbird Bakery Gluten-Free by Karen Morgan (Food-Cookbook/2010) - 75 yummy recipes complete with photos. What shall one make first??

Why Time Flies by Alan Burdick (Nature-mathematics/2017 -  In this exploration readers are taken on a personal quest to understand the clocks that tick inside us all. Time- something we all have to work with!

Book of Ages, The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin by Jill Lepore (Lives/2013) - Ms Lepore weaves together the tales of Benjamin Franklin and his little sister Jane and gives us an interesting look of early America.
