Knitting Group Fun
The Wednesday evening knitting group is going strong and having lots of fun creating and visiting! If you like to knit or would like to learn how to knit, this is the group for you. They are creating socks, hats, scarves, vests and other knitted items ranging from beginner level to experienced knitters. A bulletin board has been put up in the library with photos of their projects so stop by and take a look at the beautiful things they are making. The group meets every Wednesday, at the library, from 6-8:30 pm.

The Weeds Are Growing
Many thanks to the Board members who attended our recent work party and pulled weeds in our lovely landscaped beds! We are looking for someone to help us out with maintaining our landscaping. If you like to work outside, know the difference between a weed and a flower and have a little time each week (or month), please consider volunteering to help us with some of our yard work. We also have some blackberries that need a little trimming right now! Please call us if you are interested and leave a message if you get the machine.

Donations Are Great!
Thank you everyone for all your wonderful donations to the library recently. We have been putting new books on the shelves each week and have added lots of wonderful selections to our books on tape/CD collections. We have also added some new Young Adult Fiction so come on in and check us out!
The magazine exchange is going strong and there are a lot of interesting magazines to choose from. If you would like to recycle a newer magazine or two simply bring them down, add them to the exchange and take one or two with you! It's a great way to read a variety of material without having to subscribe to them all.
Thanks to all the Board members who helped out on Work Party Day. They spent hours on their hands and knees weeding our new landscaped beds (work done by Eagle Scout, Porter Richins). They worked very hard and made their way through half the bed. Anyone out there like to weed? If so, please come on down and we'll give you your own patch to care for! Not sure why we called it a Work Party....we definitely did more work than partying!

Happy New Year!
Some time has passed since our last blog update...we have been very busy at the library! Most of you received our latest newsletter and Gimme Five fund raising letter in December letting you know what's been happening at the library. We had two very fun craft nights in December where kids (and adults!) made ornaments, potpourri oranges, cards and other fun crafts. I'll keep you posted on how the fund raiser has been doing in my next blog.
One of our patrons started a knitting group on Wednesday nights from 6-8:30 which has been very popular. She is an experienced knitter and everyone is welcome to attend....beginners and veterans, too! Even if you have not knitted before, but would like to learn this is a wonderful opportunity to start working on a project with someone there to help you. There is no fee for attending and I hear they are having lots of fun!
The Poetry Circle continues to meet on most Mondays from 10:30-noon. Everyone is welcome to attend, drop-ins, too! We also have a Japanese/English tutor at the library each Thursday morning from 8-10 so feel free to drop by if this is something that sounds interesting to you!

Children's Story Time Begins
Our very popular children's Story Time program will begin Tuesday, September 27 at 10:00 am. This program is designed for children under the age of 6, but all ages are welcome. Stories are read each week, followed by a craft and a snack before the kids get a chance to check out books they would like to read over the week. Pre-registration is not required. The program will continue throughout the school year, each Tuesday morning at 10:00 am.
Book Sale in Final Days
The library's annual book sale will be coming to an end very soon! We still have lots of quality fiction and non-fiction books for adults and children. There are also paperbacks, but they are going quickly! Take advantage of this great opportunity to stock up on reading material before the rain starts. The selection is great and the prices are fantastic!
