Our Easter Basket Raffle is back!  We are raffling off a children’s basket and an adult one.  The children’s basket is on display now at the library.  The adult one will be delivered a day or two before the drawing as it’s a flowering basket.  Use it as a centerpiece for your Easter table and then plant the flowers outside after.  Tickets are a dollar a piece and can be purchased from any Library Board member or at the library.  We will be picking the winners on Friday April 6 at 6:30pm.  Need not be present to win.  All proceeds go to help restore and renovate the library.

Due to inclement weather Jim Ford’s Book Signing scheduled for March 5 was postponed to Friday March 30 at 6:30pm.  Join us then and view a slide show and hear him talk about his 4 volume history called FOOTPRINTS THROUGH TIME. At this time only Journal One, 1785-1881 is available, but the others will be published throughout the rest of this year. The first journal will be on display for purchasing and for signing tonight.

For our teen night we are doing a book to movie night on Friday April 20 at 6:30pm.  We will be watching BIG FISH which was adapted from BIG FISH: A NOVEL OF MYTHIC PROPORTIONS by Daniel Wallace.  Copies of the book can be picked up at the circulation desk now.  Read it and then watch the movie and make comparisons.  Was the book better than the movie?  What was different?  Refreshments will be served at the movie.

Be sure to check out the beautiful artwork on display now in the Library’s Program Room.  The ER Andrews Elementary students have done a wonderful job!  Their work will be on display for the rest of this month and part of April.

Jennifer Forward’s cows are back in the front foyer display case.  She has a stuffed cow collection of 27 (and counting) so she will have her new ones on exhibit that have been acquired since last year’s display.
