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,
Nancy McPherson, Eva Pecor, Bette Slocum, Grant Jackson, Bob

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.
