Welcome back from Thanksgiving break everyone! Did you get enough turkey, potatoes, and stuffing? Did you travel anywhere special? Spend time with someone you love? Whatever you did, we hope it was a wonderful and restful weekend for all of you. But now that December is here, we are definitely getting into the holiday spirit at the library!
This Week
Mugs & Hugs is back in session this week with Youth Librarian Stephanie. Play time begins at 10:30am on Wednesday the 4th, so be sure to bring your infants and toddlers in for the fun. A reminder to parents that there will be no Mugs & Hugs on December 18th and 25th, or on January 1st due to the holiday break.
Working on those last minute craft presents? Then join us on Wednesday evening for the Yarn Arts Circle at 6:00pm. Librarian Adrianne will have a pot of hot chocolate going and a holiday classic going on the big screen. So stop in, work a bit, and share your crafting love with everyone!
Book Club for Adults will be meeting this Thursday morning at 9:00am at the fireplace. A baked treat will be served while we discuss our choices for this month’s topic, World War II. If you have any questions or would like to join us, all are welcome and you can contact Librarian Adrianne at 269-649-1648.
