The library held it’s annual Thanksgiving Craft Day on Monday, November 21st.
Kids were invited to the library to make a 3-D Turkey and a glitter turkey. They were told they could display the turkeys on the family Thanksgiving table is their parent allowed it.
National Game Day @ Your Library was Saturday, November 12th. The library was open from noon to two with tables set up for different games. The little kids had Toy Story Yahtzee and The Best Day Ever [new game this year]. One table had Scrabble slam the card game and one table had “Say Anything”.
Kid and adults came to the library and played games. The younger kids played in one room and the teens and adults played in the other. By the end we had all ages playing the game “Say Anything” this seems to be our favorite!

The library held it’s annual Halloween Craft day on Friday, October 28th. Kids decorated pumpkins & gourds, made stand up monsters, Halloween spiders. the pumpkins & gourds were decorated with Halloween foam stickers and turned out really cute, the library has a few on display.
The older kids painted masks and pumpkins. Some of the masks were really creative.
Every October the Story Time kids get to Trick-or-Treat the businesses on Central Street. It’s actually only about one block, but that’s far enough for the little ones.
This year it was Wednesday, October 26th and with some help from the local MWA group the kids not only Trick-or-Treated but they brought treats for the seniors at the nutrition site.
Never really sure who has more fun when we do this, the kids or the people at the businesses? They do let us come back year after year!

Friday, October 21st local artist Mary Hall was at the library. Mary has been asked if she would be interested in giving an art class to the adults [again], and she said yes. Mary has been her twice before first she showed us how to paint flowers and then barns, this time trees.
Each time we have Mary here it seems the class gets bigger, we told her when she comes back we may have to use the community building since we are so small, she said that would be all right.
We don’t know when she will be back, but we do know that she said she would come back. Maybe in the spring?
