Party Time!

Getting together with friends and volunteers during the holidays is tradition; and this year is no exception! Everyone brings a dish to share and it always seems to work out just right. It's so nice to sit down and enjoy each other's company - especially during this busy time of year.

Good food, good friends, good cheer...Merry Christmas!

FA LA LA LA LA

Today we had a visit from our neighborhood day care kids! They sang Christmas carols and put us in a festive mood for the day :) It's cold today so they were really bundled up as you can see. They visit us often and we always get such a kick out of their facial expressions and little singing voices. We clap and always make them feel special and send them on their way with a treat.

Out With the Old - In With The New

A slow day in library land, but a good day because it gives us an opportunity to tackle on-going projects! One of those projects? "Weeding" books from our shelves. (I love this word, it always reminds me of my flower garden!) Weeding is as cyclic as the changing seasons and it entails removing books that no longer circulate. And since circulation is an important stat, we stay mindful about what is and isn't being checked out. Most of the time it's a no-brainer... some of these books haven't been touched in years, let alone checked out; however, other times we make the decision to send a book to be packed in the box that truly is a good read, but not worthy enough to take up space on our shelves. Space is limited, good books continue to be published, and it forces us to make decisions so current and timely material is readily available. Who knew working in a library would be so full of tough decisions!!

Volunteer Gifting

Volunteers are such an important part of what we do here at the library. Without them we couldn't serve our customers and keep the library functioning for all to use. Christmas is always the perfect time to give back to these individuals who are so giving of their time. This year we made yummy goody baskets! Handmade boxes and homemade holiday treats inside.....how perfect!!! And, we had fun getting together to assemble and adorn :) This is what the season is about!
