Happy holidays to everyone from Barb and the staff of
the Morrisville Public Library! Don't forget that the library
will be closed from December 25th until after New Year's Day.
We will re-open on January 2nd.
When the library re-opens in January, it will be open five
additional hours each week. The new library hours will be from
noon until 8 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 10
a.m. till 1:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays and from 10 a.m.
till 2 p.m. on Saturdays.
Our other news this week is that Barb Fogg has been appointed
Library Manager by the library's Board of Trustees. Barb was
previously the Assistant Director of the library and has been
serving as Interim Director since the end of September. Congratulations,
Barb!
The annual Holiday Silent Auction was a big success again
this year! We'd like to thank the following people who donated
all those wonderful items up for bid. Thanks to Barb Fogg, Donna
Dockray, Teresa Lemery, Ethel Crane, Jan Ghent, Kay Christman,

Get ready for the New Year, and put these nice events on
your calendar> Coming up on January 8th will be the first
session of Spanish Language Tutoring from 4-5 p.m. in the program
room; this program will continue on Wednesdays throughout January.
On Saturday, January 11th, a Pine Cone Bird Seed Feeder Project,
led by Janine Ashcraft, will be held from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m.
for children up through third grade.
Three new videos have arrived, just in time to enjoy over
the holiday break: 1940's House, Ice Age, and The Lord of the
Rings, the Fellowship of the Ring are all ready for you to sign
out.
Some nice new books are also in this week. Best-selling
novelist, Patricia Cornwell's Portrait of a Killer is a true
crime book about the case of the infamous Jack the Ripper. She
applies modern investigation and forensic techniques to the crimes
that horrified London more than 100 years ago. By all reports,
this is a fascinating book. Prey by Michael Crichton is a scary
thriller about a swarm of microscopic machines that escape into
the environment and threaten human life. Geisha, a Life by Mikeko
Iwasaki is the memoir of the famed geisha who was the chief
informant for Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha. She relates
the story of the hard, endless training she had to undergo--learning
how to speak a special dialect of Japanese and how to sing and
dance gracefully while wearing a heavy kimono and six-inch wooden
sandals-as well as learning and practicing the elaborate rules
of the art.
Merry Christmas from all of us to all of you wonderful patrons
of the Morrisville Public Library.
