Story Times


Well, we just finished my favorite week of the year - Halloween party week!!!!

All the kids looked adorable in their costumes, and they are so excited to go Trick or Treating!







We take a two week break from our regular schedule to recover from the sugar high, and then back to it starting November 15th.



However, as a special treat to me and the kids, we are having a "Pajama Story Time". I have never done this before, but it should be great fun!! It is open to kids of all ages, as long as they agree to wear their pajamas and slippers and bring their special bedtime friend. I know I will!

I am taking suggestions for favorite bedtime stories, so stop by the library and let me know what you think.

Please join us in the Community Room on Wednesday, November 10th at 6:45 p.m.



Thursday Crafts


Our Thursday Craft Nights are still loads of fun and looking for more people to join in and enjoy! We have been fortunate to have Linda Selbert come and work on some painting project with us. The first was a painted glass votive, the second was a holiday snowman decoration. In January she will be back to help us with a grapes and vines on glass.

On November 4th, we will have a professional designer, courtesy of Elizabeth Lynne Gifts & Floral Design, teach us how to make spectacular bows for home holiday decorating and gift packages. This is a free class, sponsored by the Friends of the Macedon Public Library Endowment Fund, and will be held in the Community Room from 6:00 - 7:45 p.m.
To register, stop by the library or call us at 315-986-5932.

Evergreen

Evergreen is up and running and, after some brain exhausting days, we are ready to handle almost any question you throw at us (if you are patient). And we would like to thank all of our patrons for their patience during this transition and learning period. You have all been awesome!

Also, we have finally been able to enter all of the new books and movies that have been piling up waiting while the system was in limbo for a month. These new items are too numerous to list here, so come in and peruse our "new shelves" and "DVD book", and see what we have!!!

Books Sale

A great big THANK YOU goes out to everyone who supported the Friends of the Macedon Library semi-annual Book Sale this past weekend!

Approximately $1,900 was raised and this will benefit the Friends Endowment for the Macedon Public Library.

Good job, everyone!

EVERGREEN WORKS!!

For those of you who have been anxiously awaiting the transition to our new system and website -- it works!!

Please take your time and go through the new site. Naturally, it will take longer to look for things and understand the intricacies of finding and putting items on hold, but patience is a virtue we must draw on now. I think everyone will be pleased with the changes.

Please feel free to call us with any questions or problems, and we will do our best to help.
