Hello from the Library. Book (re)Marks is back for 2024, offering up all the info you need about books, what’s happening at the Library, and more. February is a short month, but there’s still lots of things happening at the Library
The COA Bookclub will meet at 1 pm Tuesday February 20 to discuss “Lucy by the Sea” by Elizabeth Strout. Bring your library card to the meeting if you would like to take home a book. Books & Babble Bookclub will be discussing “The Last Animal” by Ramona Ausubel at 6:30 pm Thursday February 29 (Leap Day.) Books for both clubs are available for pick-up at the Library or on the Libby app.
Do you like to knit, crochet, or cross stitch? If so, join us on Monday nights from 6-8 pm for a social gathering of handcrafters. Bring your latest project, something from the stash, or a problem pattern to work out. Or maybe your creative outlet involves pen and paper? Join our Writer’s Group the third Thursday of every month to keep those ideas flowing. A prompt will be given, then 10 minutes of writing, then sharing for as many rounds as possible. Open to anyone 18+. Next meeting is 6:30 p.m. February 15.
The Library will be celebrating World Bookmark Day from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm Saturday February 24. Bring your surplus bookmarks to swap with others, or pick up a template and create your own. Drop off your designs by Feb. 21 and we’ll pick a few to print and laminate.
The Board of Library Trustees is meeting at 6:30 pm. Thursday February 8. This meeting is open to the public and the agenda is posted here: www.townofrochestermass.com/node/425/agenda
We are offering a free CPR class for adults from 11 am to 1 pm, Saturday February 17. Space is limited and registration is required. Sign up on the Events Calendar on our website. The class will be conducted by Bob Joyce, firefighter and EMT.
The Friends of the Library are giving away a Valentine’s Day Dinner and Dessert package. From February 1-12 tickets will be on sale for a drawing of a $50 gift card and a 9-inch cheesecake. All proceeds benefit the Friends, who support Library programs and events.
Please remember that the Library will be closed Monday February 19 for President’s Day.
