Thanksgiving Week has arrived and here I sit in confusion with part of my head ready to celebrate the joys of this coming Thursday and my other half anxious to get started on the next holiday. Why am I not patient you might ask.... because I know how fast December comes and goes and I want to be on top of the preparations rather than always running to catch up. So... our library is already partially decorated and my dining room at home is fully decorated. If I could only get going on my Christmas cards!!
Regular Open Hours this week.... Monday 10 - 1, Wednesday 1 - 5 and Saturday 10 -1. And a reminder that you can email us your request(s) and I will set your selection(s) in the box on my porch. Yes, we are still doing "porch side" pick up and drop off. We are well aware of your busy schedules!
Winter Hours Start December 1st.... Mondays 10 - 1 (no change), Wednesdays 12 - 4, and Saturdays 10 - 1 (No change).
Monday, November 22nd - 10 til 12 - Family Fun! There is a surprise this week! Jane has a special craft for our little ones... a decoration for the family table. Inviting all our young families to join us for fun, games, and turkey making!!
Wednesday and Saturday, November 24th and 27th during regular hours - We will be finishing up our Christmas decorating and you are invited to stop in and lend a hand. We plan to decorate our tree with ornaments depicting the favorite book each of us has read in 2021. Get your thinking caps on and decide what was your favorite book and email us the title and author. We are anxious for our very plain tree to be well decorated!
Tuesday, December 14th at 7 - MARK YOUR CALENDAR!!! A Christmas Holiday Treat as we gather in our downstairs auditorium to hear our friend and neighbor, John Allen, read A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas. This work is an anecdotal reminiscence of a Christmas from the viewpoint of a young boy, portraying a nostalgic and simpler time. Do come and enjoy this special evening.
Continuing.... All About Diversity collection of 12 picture books to promote discussion with your little ones and... our very popular Turkey Hunt!
Have you read Fifty Things That Aren't My Fault by Cathy Guisewite (creator of "Cathy")? This is her first collection of funny, wise, poignant, and incredibly honest essays about being a woman in what she lovingly calls "The Panini Generation". We are filing this book under "Aging" in our Body and Soul collection because Ms. Guisewite refers to the "big transition" and most of you know what she is referring to... a time when everything starts changing and disappearing without permission: aging parents, aging children, aging self stuck in the middle....an ideal read for mothers, daughters, and anyone caught in between.
Have you read Nowhere Girl, a Memoir of a Fugitive Childhood by Cheryl Diamond (2021) - If you ever feel your life is out of control, just read this memoir. Ms. Diamond was born into a family of outlaws fleeing from the highest international law agencies. By the age of nine, she had lived in more than a dozen countries, on five continents, and under six assumed identities. Surviving required her to escape... a riveting tale.
