Fall Book Sale
The library's annual fall book sale is just around the corner. It is our second year holding it in the Annex, as well as in conjunction with the Holiday Bazaar at the GCC. We will have lots of new items for you to peruse, reserved specifically for the book sale. Come check things out from 9am to 2pm on Saturday, November 22nd. Don't be just a book worm ... be a book dragon!

 

In Memoriam
Judy Truett (1943-2025), volunteered at the library for 20 years. She served as a Board Member, weekly front desk librarian, and devoted Book Club member. She was a generous financial donor supporting the mosaic mural on our back wall and the salary of our head librarian. She will be greatly missed. Please join us in celebrating her life on October 18th.

In Memoriam
Next time you step into the library, stop and take a look around at the collection, over 16,000 items and they were all cataloged by one very special man, Mike Rose. Sadly, last week, we lost our dear co-worker and friend. He was retired with a PHD and MD to his name, but joyfully donated two days a week for the last twenty years to our library. Devoted and irreplaceable, Mike was over-the-top thorough and excellent in every aspect of his cataloging. He created all the detailed data on our spine labels, filled in extra information on every item's "Notes", created our "Classic" section, and our "Core" classification. He was never too busy to be kind and welcoming to all who wanted to chat with him in the office. Mike has our deepest respect!  I can't even express how much he will be missed! Next week we will devote our main display to his "Favorites".

The Annex grand opening was held on November 16, 2024.  We had children's activities, wonderful donated door prizes, books/DVDs/CDs for sale by donation, and we shared the history of our library from the beginning to the new Annex now open during regular library hours.  The Annex will offer the following.

• collection expansion
• reservable private office available for Zoom meetings
• community meeting room
• children's play area
• book + DVD + CD store
