We hope you can join us tomorrow,
Tuesday March 26, at 5:00 when Sally Jensen, a NASA Solar System Ambassador,
will explain this exciting event and have special solar eclipse glasses and
information to pass out so people will understand what is happening. “Observing
a total solar eclipse is a truly incredible experience. As the moon passes
between the sun and the Earth, the sky darkens, temperatures drop, and the
stars become visible in the middle of the day, the sun’s corona, the outer
atmosphere, becomes visible as a beautiful halo around the moon. We, in New
Hampshire, will have to wait another 55 years for the next solar eclipse to
happen for this area, even though eclipses happen on a regular basis, about
twice a year somewhere on Earth. The goal is to help people enjoy the
experience safely.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

We suggest that you park behind the library, come in the rear door and go directly downstairs (handicap accessible), where Rumney resident John Allen will read <u>A Child's Christmas in Wales</u> by Dylan Thomas. This is a delightful story where the narrator remembers his childhood Christmases in a busy Welsh town. This, too, has been a favorite holiday event through the years for many of us. At the end you are invited upstairs to enjoy the Christmas Tea.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEimCJUNfFzoopqe-hc_cXcf4AfZOIsASa1kLYjHwj_MmxtNUszM8bJGD5iWcQpxp5UD4twtxMKEf4cShPcTAgPCXSf63_hOkWVeuAbsfY8wc1f2ECFO9NDfkNm4YkI8XDWvIUyDocPMaMflKLr7tZCN-A6mRGcokSVwOTSIUF3eC6O1ObOAXwGrcav5jyM" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="224" data-original-width="225" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEimCJUNfFzoopqe-hc_cXcf4AfZOIsASa1kLYjHwj_MmxtNUszM8bJGD5iWcQpxp5UD4twtxMKEf4cShPcTAgPCXSf63_hOkWVeuAbsfY8wc1f2ECFO9NDfkNm4YkI8XDWvIUyDocPMaMflKLr7tZCN-A6mRGcokSVwOTSIUF3eC6O1ObOAXwGrcav5jyM" width="241" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: red;">Reading by John Allen at 5<br />Christmas Tea following 6 until 8</span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067525304213506493.post-46881737287092394192023-12-06T06:39:00.000-08:002023-12-06T06:39:51.159-08:00December News<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyMTkIS5LB-duTMc2xD8Y-UDhYSsulhN9wUPs-k8seoaLmaKm6tJoKxRnjz3N8IXQJTBesDDQEGOQKR57Lf-kCLJVEAz4P5_A9Nu2wpEAfoSpTg-WR527D0KgCIAYUJHFj788Mb_Zq1hH98B2jhFtpCIzjUmpXVPceXJAX-DDm7TLd_1VkHWqW4Wm21t4/s339/vintage%20winter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="339" data-original-width="302" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyMTkIS5LB-duTMc2xD8Y-UDhYSsulhN9wUPs-k8seoaLmaKm6tJoKxRnjz3N8IXQJTBesDDQEGOQKR57Lf-kCLJVEAz4P5_A9Nu2wpEAfoSpTg-WR527D0KgCIAYUJHFj788Mb_Zq1hH98B2jhFtpCIzjUmpXVPceXJAX-DDm7TLd_1VkHWqW4Wm21t4/w315-h284/vintage%20winter.jpg" width="315" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><b style="text-align: center; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-size: large;">December has arrived and we at the Byron G Merrill library hope to be a place of peace and joy for you this month and each one that follows. </span></b></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-d69452de-7fff-f5af-dbbe-eb7a0869ad55"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800180; font-size: large;"><b>The library has some beautiful vintage and favorite books for sale for your holidays needs this month.

book from the library, you can “check out” seeds from our seed library. Our
seed library will have packets of seeds available to our patrons to take home
and grow. These seeds are free! Hopefully, after a successful growing season,
gardeners will be able to save seeds from their plants and “return” them to the
library for other gardeners to use next year. Over time, this will create a
sustainable collection of seeds that are adapted to our Rumney environment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

from a couple gardening companies and seed saving organizations and are taking
seed packet donations from you anytime. These seeds can be commercially bought
and packaged but we are aiming for primarily heirloom seeds. We hope to create
a fun and varied mix of vegetables, herbs, and flowers for gardeners to try
out. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Thanksgiving Holiday! </b><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Thanksgiving before 1863 was something of a
moveable feast, with states honoring the holiday at various times or not at
all. But as the Civil War dragged on, Abraham Lincoln needed a way to unite the
country. It was a prominent magazine editor, Sarah Josepha Hale, who finally
persuaded him to declare Thanksgiving a national holiday.<o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">What you may not remember is that
Sarah Josepha Buell (who later married David Hale) was born on a farm in
Newport, New Hampshire in 1788. From a tender age, she was curious, smart, and
eager to learn. As a young girl, Sarah was taught history and literature by her
mother. Later, her brother Horatio taught her everything that he was learning
as a student at Dartmouth College. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">She authored biographies,
cookbooks, novels, editorials, and volumes of poetry including the children’s
rhyme <u>Mary Had a Little Lamb.</u> Sometime, you may enjoy reading <u>Lady
Editor, A Biography</u> by Melanie Kirkpatrick.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEipU9tXyhopAGtBu82HRgfT4_YmF38kH5_MRwDivRWqitX4UkS5b3v6Lvpa1k0D1hP4basD_mXu4aRsYk6Syj0pfD8ebt7QbeWx5FGGruLT-JZ4dHzvBxXq2WoJ9_tgOoLw5WeZYQ_4BIhkV-znLCCq_9iqMD67xxgfHxLBLUkbF2KaufmzWuFVkjkx" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="154" data-original-width="326" height="151" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEipU9tXyhopAGtBu82HRgfT4_YmF38kH5_MRwDivRWqitX4UkS5b3v6Lvpa1k0D1hP4basD_mXu4aRsYk6Syj0pfD8ebt7QbeWx5FGGruLT-JZ4dHzvBxXq2WoJ9_tgOoLw5WeZYQ_4BIhkV-znLCCq_9iqMD67xxgfHxLBLUkbF2KaufmzWuFVkjkx" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>

ten picture books nominated for the year’s Lady Bug Book of the Year award.
This award is designed to promote early literacy and to honor the best in
recent children’s picture books. Librarians around the state promote their favorite books and the list is then winnowed down to ten.</span></span></div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The ten books are here on display just waiting for you to take a look.We invite our preschoolers and early elementary students and
their families to read and discuss the books and then select which book was their favorite. We will tally the results and add our votes to those coming from children
all over New Hampshire. The #1 Choice will be announced in January.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">One of the selections is titled <u>Watercress</u> and was
written by Andrea Wang with pictures by Jason Chin. Driving through Ohio, a
young girl’s family stops and wades through the muck to pick watercress. At
first the young girl is embarrassed to be collecting rather than purchasing
their food at the grocery store. When her mother shares the story of her family
in China, the girl learned to appreciate the fresh food they foraged and
together they made a happy memory. Moms and Dads, I encourage you to read “A
Note from the Author” at the end. <u>Watercress</u> is a wonderful book and it
is just one of the ten very special nominated books!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivzCuXBR6_c9Wpv9YEvQPUqrndPeW06YPYEV8QYw3JO-07KqnXIoiTS8e3IdKFCZnyFkpYDScLks_Wp2coD2gLpBzSi4DpshttEHdI8m1bna2inesIxRyXO98lhp3lmvCJ_95FSl3eB0j5BP6sBrbhapaFAngcym-QKZ4QHHTS4-SlRaj7OAN0JOvs/s225/CA%20Family%20Fun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="225" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivzCuXBR6_c9Wpv9YEvQPUqrndPeW06YPYEV8QYw3JO-07KqnXIoiTS8e3IdKFCZnyFkpYDScLks_Wp2coD2gLpBzSi4DpshttEHdI8m1bna2inesIxRyXO98lhp3lmvCJ_95FSl3eB0j5BP6sBrbhapaFAngcym-QKZ4QHHTS4-SlRaj7OAN0JOvs/w200-h200/CA%20Family%20Fun.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><b>Saturday, Nov 12th 10-12 - </b>This Saturday we will have craft time for our elementary age children.
