At the Library for November 27th, 2018

Updated 2018/11/26

 

 

In 1973 a married British couple traveled by bus, train, boat, and rickshaw across Europe and Asia, eventually arriving in Australia. So many people wanted to hear about their trip that they wrote ‘Across Asia on the Cheap’—a photocopied and stapled guide for their friends and family. Word of mouth had Australian bookstores asking for hundreds of copies, and soon they had it professionally published. This became the very first Lonely Planet guidebook. This week the library has a selection of new and up-to-date guidebooks, including ones to ‘Cuba,’ ‘Ireland,’ ‘Italy,’ ‘Thailand,’ and ‘New Zealand.’

 

A poor ten-year-old spends time with a wealthy family over Christmas, only to see that money isn’t everything in Polly Horvath’s ‘Very Rich.’

 

Preschool Story Time is this Wednesday at 11:00 am, 1:15 pm, & 6:30 pm, and Toddler Story Time is 10:00 and 11:00 am. Both will be all about Dance.  Baby Laptime is every Thursday at 11 am.

 

FOOD FOR FINES: For the entire month of December, the Library will be accepting donations of non-perishable food as payment for overdue fines (please, no out of date food, no condiments, or food in glass containers). One item will be worth one dollar of fines.  All donations will be delivered to the food bank throughout the holiday season. This is a great way to get rid of those pesky overdue fines while helping others in need.
