Today we have Nova, Scout, and Milo…

Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock by Eric A. Kimmel. I like that the deer was watching Anansi do tricks. The deer had an idea to do those same tricks on him. It was funny. –Nova (age 7)

Swimmer by Shelly Gill. I like this book because it explains the life cycle of the salmon. I love the pictures of this books also. I like the words they use. – Scout (age 6)

Spy School Goes South by Stuart Gibbs. very good I recommend this book to all readers who like adventure. –Milo (age 8)

We have some wonderful To-Go bags this month to grab and go. If you are putting items on hold or using no-contact pickup, just let us know which To-Go bags you want and we’ll hand them out to you! For adults, we have Comfort To-Go: Cocoa and Puzzles and Craft To-Go: Etched Glass and for kids, we have Comfort To-Go: Cocoa and Puzzles and Culture To-Go: Rufus Porter Portrait Painting. Rufus Porter Museum has put together a Miniature Portrait project just for us here at the Library. Rufus Porter was a self-taught artist who built miniature water-wheels for fun, played music, wrote poetry, and painted. This bag has everything you need to create your own portrait, including a small watercolor kit.

All bags are free, available first come first served while they last.

Happy Winter 2021
