Even though the weather is hardly fall-like, October is almost upon us and the library’s program schedule and calendar are available at the circulation desks and online.

 

The book sale takes up the first week of the month and runs through October 5th.  The purpose is to get rid of the boxes of books we have stacked up so you will never beat this price: $1.00 admission fee and then take as much as you want.  Teachers will find loads of books for their classrooms and readers can stock up on fiction including mysteries and romance to get them through the winter months.

 

The regular eReader Workshop kicks off the month on Tuesday, October 1st at 2 p.m.; registration is required and bring your Kindle, iPad or android device as well as your library card so we can show you how to download eBooks, audiobooks and digital magazines.

 

Nesting Knitters meets every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for those interested in knitting or crochet.  Colorful Yarns meets on Tuesdays, October 8th and 22nd at 6:30 p.m. for anyone interested in the fabric arts.
