Happy New Year all! I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful holiday season! I had a wonderful vacation but I am glad to be back to work! A big thanks to Tom Lemery for mentioning me in his column, "Morrisville Messages". He wanted people to remember I wouldn't be reporting for a few weeks. Thanks Tom!

On to Library news, here are the next two weeks topics for Kiddies Korner: January 1 is Hat Day. Be sure to wear a hat that day! January 20 will be all about Jan Brett's The Mitten. Children will be making their very own mitten to act out the story. Kiddies Korner is every Tuesday from 10:30-11:30am. Bring your child or grandchild in for a very wonderful time!

Thursday January 8 is Family Bingo Night again at the library! Be sure to come in and have a grand ole time! Kids win prizes; adults play for fun! Bingo begins promptly at 6:30pm and runs until 8pm. Bring your kids and end those winter blues!

Don't forget on January 21 Melanie Zimmer will be coming to the library and performing a very enlightening puppet show entitled, "The Snow Maiden Puppet Show". This has been rescheduled from last month due to inclement weather. This program begins at 6:30pm in the program room.

On January 28, Jackie Groves will be doing another stamping session this one pertaining to Valentine's Day. She will teach young or old how to make cards, bags, etc. This free program starts at 6:30pm in the Library's program room. Guys this could be an easy way for you to make something for your sweetheart!
