The library is alive with new faces and all kinds of activity
this month. Sheron Smith, who has been working as a volunteer
at the library, is our newest staff member. She will be manning
the circulation desk on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Sheron and her
husband and two boys have lived in Morrisville for two years.
Stop by and say welcome to Sheron and to our other new staff
member, Grant Jackson, who will be working on Monday, Wednesday
and Friday afternoons. They join our veteran staff members, library
manager Barb Fogg, and circulation desk staffers, Kay Christman,
and Bette Slocum, and our alternate Friday night circulation
volunteer staff, the Steve Jones family.
There is someone new in the Children's Room too! Clifford the
Big Red Dog has taken up residence there. Bring in the little
ones to meet Clifford and take home one of our many books about
Clifford and his adventures.
On Wednesday, November 20th, we are celebrating Public Library
Awareness Day. On that day the library is hosting a Stamping
for Fun workshop with Jackie Groves from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the
program room. Participants in the workshop will stamp and make
a portfolio holder filled with six, a decorative cover for a
tealight candle and a stamped candy bag. Different kinds of inks,
papers and embellishments will be used. Cost of materials is
$4.00 per person. This sounds like so much fun for adults and
teens to get a head start on making some holiday gifts - or nice
items for themselves. Sign up for this workshop at the circulation
desk.
On Sunday, November 24th, a "Thank-You Reception" honoring
Traci Schuster for her years as director of the Morrisville Public
Library will be held from 1-3 p.m. at Madison Hall on Route 20
in Morrisville. It is open to the public and we hope many people
will come and say a big "thanks" to Traci for all she
has done for the library and the community.
Throughout the month of November, "Susanne Farrington: Retrospective
1962-2002", a wonderful exhibit of wood, pottery and found
objects, will be on display in the program room.
The library will be closed from Thursday, November 28th - Saturday,
November 30th for the Thanksgiving Holiday.
Last but not least, donations of new gift quality items, art
work, crafts, gift certificates or antiques with a minimum value
of five dollars are being collected now for the annual Holiday
Silent Auction, which brought in over $1700 last year. Did you
receive a gift last year that is just so nice, but not exactly
what you need? It could be exactly what someone else is looking
for! Donations for the silent auction will be accepted at the
library from now until Wednesday, November 27th. The Holiday
Silent Auction will begin on December 2nd and end on December
16th. Please consider donating something wonderful to this festive
and popular library fund raiser.
