Happy New Year everyone. Book (re)Marks is back for 2024, offering up all the info you need about books, what’s happening at the Library and more.
Since it’s a new year, we’d like to remind you of all the things happening at the Library that you can participate in.
Let’s start with book clubs. The COA Book Club will be meeting at 1 pm, Tuesday January 16 to discuss “What Happened to the Bennetts” by Lisa Scottoline. This suspenseful page-turner will keep you guessing right to the end. Books & Babble Book club will be discussing “The Book of Hope: a Survival Guide for Trying Times” by Jane Goodall at 6:30 pm, Thursday January 25. This is the first book under our 2024 theme: It’s Wild Out There.: Animals and Nature. Books for both clubs are available for pickup at the Library.
Do you like to knit, crochet, or cross-stitch? If so, join us on Monday nights from 6 to 8 pm for a social gathering of handcrafters. Bring your latest project, something from the stash, or a problem pattern to work out.
Baby, Toddler, and Preschool Story times return this month for a combined Winter/Spring session running from January 16 thru March 29, except for the week of February school vacation. All sessions are currently full; please contact Ms. Lisa for waitlist information. Email: lfuller@sailsinc.org.
For kids, the Scrambled Word will return in January, changing every Monday. There will also be a Snowman Seek and Find in the building. Completing either of these activities earns you a prize from the treasure chest.
If you’re interested in helping out the Library with fundraising, activities and events, come see what the Friends of the Library are all about. They will be meeting at 6:30 pm Thursday January 4 to wrap-up the Holiday Auction, as well as discuss plans for upcoming spring fundraising opportunities, including a book sale and a clothing drive.
The Board of Library Trustees is meeting at 6:30 pm Monday, January 8. This meeting is open to the public and the agenda is posted here: www.townofrochestermass.com/node/425/agenda.
