Hello Readers!
Wow, we made it through February! If you've been to the library over the past few weeks, you know we've had a lot going on! First, the weather has been wild this winter. It has made for some great cozy reading time, but I'm tired of layering my coats and defrosting my car every morning.
February's program schedule was all over the place. We missed a whole week of programming to accommodate our long-awaited HVAC replacement, power issues, and snow days! What I couldn't have in February, I have moved to March!
This month, our schedule is jam-packed with programs...and a Bag Book Sale! We have FOUR...count them 4!...special programs. Medicare, Retirement, Wills & POA, and our rescheduled Vision Board Party, I hope I have all the bases covered!
If you didn't know, we try really hard to make sure Adult Programming is free and accessible to all. Adult Services has a line on the Library's annual budget. I work closely with our presenters, guests, the Friends, and local sponsors to make sure cost is not a barrier to enjoying our programs. In very rare cases, a program may have a small fee to cover an instructor's insurance, supplies, fees, etc., and that will always be noted in a program's description.
In other news, I'm always excited for another Bag Book Sale! The Friends of the Library work hard to organize the sale and make sure there are some real gems to buy! Kevin and I usually get to exercise our Theater Kid Muscles and make a funny video to promote the sale. The $5 Bag Book Sale runs from March 7th to March 21st.
Sliding in by the skin of my teeth, I have finally finished my Winter Middle Grade TBR! February was a tough month for my family; we said goodbye to a loved one and one of our dogs. I haven't really been in the mood to read. I'm slowly working my way through a Hockey Romance novel, but it is a slog.
I also must make a confession...I ruined my first library book. Library Workers have to replace damaged and lost books too! A new *undamaged* copy will be on the shelf soon! If this has ever happened to you, know that you're not in trouble! Accidents happen!
Here is hoping spring brings warmer weather, happier days, and more library joy!
See you at the desk!
