The will are at least two events planned in February for the library.

Up first?

In honor of Valentine’s Day the library will be having it’s annual “Chocolate Day”. There will be cake pops to dip, chocolate suckers to make, maybe some pretzels and marshmallows too. There will be two, three, maybe four kinds of chocolate to use. A “Sweet” time for all. Adults can participate at 1:00 and kids after school at 4:00 on Thursday, February 13th . Come make something sweet for your sweetie!

Next?

The Kansas Reads program goes from January 15 till March 20. This years book is Bleeding Kansas by Sara Paretsky.We thought it might be nice to have a book discussion about half way through. So on Friday, February 21 at 1:00 that is what we will be doing. If you have read the book, come tell us what you thought. If you haven’t read it yet come and listen and see what other think about it.…

This year there are quite a few books being made into movies. Maybe you want to read the book before the movie comes out or maybe you want to read it after the movie comes out, either way go to your local library and see if they have the books. If not they and interlibrary loan them for you.

This is a list of just some of the books being turned into movies this year. Come check them out at the Library!…

December 18th was the last craft day of 2013. We had a Christmas craft day, the kids made bears, reindeer thumbprint ornaments and fingerprint snowman ornaments.

National Game Day @ your Library turned into International Game Day last year. This year there were 73 libraries registered outside of the US in 27 different countries, with the better part of a thousand libraries joining in this years event.

Yes, Richmond was one of those thousand libraries participating. Game day brings in patrons of all ages who actually play together. The games we have received have been ones none of us have played before, so it’s a learning experience for all of us. All ages seem to get along when you put a game on the table and give them the rules then let them play. There may be some friendly sparring, but that’s alright, but for the most part everyone seems to enjoy the games and being in the same room with each other. We can’t wait to see what games they will send us next year!
