Hi everyone!
Our STEAM Night at the library was a success once again! This was our second session, and it was just as popular and fun as last month's.
I was delighted to return from dinner and see so many happy faces waiting to enter. Thank you all for coming and having fun with all of the activities we had planned.
I would have to say that the most popular table was the CHOMP machine. The kids had a great time cutting on it. It is super safe. I had to show them that when I put my finger to it, it would in no way cut me. The Bee Bot was well liked too. However, it got a little silly and decided to take it's own route. One of the kids said it was going to Walmart.
Please keep an eye out for more great things happening here at the library and for upcoming events. December is going to be full of exciting events in Youth Services!
Ms. Lesa

A portion of the interest earned on this fund is used each year to bring you fun programs and services. During November, all gifts will be matched by the Patterson Family Foundation.

OLD-TIMERS TALKING, the monthly chat group for Boomers and those a little older, 2:00 Fri., Nov. 21, will recall the days when homemade pies and fried-chicken suppers were auctioned off in decorated boxes in one-room schools or country churches as fundraisers. Much merriment and good-natured ribbing ensued as young men vied for the package prepared by the prettiest girl. The highest bidder for each offering then ate with the girl who brought it. Often a program of music or recitations followed the meal. Sometimes there was dancing. (Photo/Library of Congress)

TALKING ABOUT DEATH to live more fully is the motto of Death Cafe, a new monthly discussion group at the library. Fifteen attended the second one Thursday night; watch the calendar for the Dec. date. The meetings are a safe, comfortable place to listen, connect, reflect and share a laugh or two--over coffee, tea and treats.
