2010

Happy New Year, everyone!

After an exhausting holiday season - we were so busy Jefferson had to help out - we are jumping right into 2010.




However, I think some of you are still in vacation mode. Our story times are off to a slow start. I don't know if it's illness or forgetfulness, or the dread of driving in the snow that has covered our area, but we are back to our busy Monday, Tuesday Wednesday schedule. Also, we had to cancel our stool making craft for the next three Thursdays, but will reschedule for a later date. In the meantime, the Thursday night craft classes are open to anyone who has a project to work on and wants some company and good conversation.

I've noticed that most of the people coming to the front desk just want a good book to snuggle up with or a good movie to watch. After the holidays there is always that need for time to ourselves, but after that we expect to see you all back participating in our fun events!!

Woodworking Project

Have you always wanted to learn woodworking? Do you like to work with your hands and build things but don't have the tools at home? The Macedon Public Library is starting their 2010 Arts and Crafts Night with Woodworking taught by Denny Brunner of Arbor Art Senior Workshops.



This lovely stool would make a great gift or addition to any home.

Ornament Painting

There is still plenty of room left in our adult Thursday night craft classes. This month we are painting Christmas ornaments! Courtney Dentel of the Pottery Spot in Palmyra, will provide a variety of ornaments to choose from each week. The cost of each ornament will be between $7 and $9. They will make great gifts, or keep them to beautify your own home.

So stop in to register. The classes will be December 3, 10 and 17 at 6:30.

Thursdays Adult Classes

The Drawing Class has been going well. The artists are a bit shy about showing off their work, but we were able to sneak a photo to show you how productive there were.




The next class with be Ornament Painting, Dec. 3, 9 and 16. This will be taught by Courtney Dentel, who conducted the Pottery Painting Class this summer. The price for this class will depend on the ornament you choose to paint. The selection and sign-up sheet will be available next week at the library. Hope to see lots of you there!
