Join us on Tuesday, December 31 @ 1:00 pm for a Prelude Afternoon At The Movies! Join us to watch this jingle of a movie. “Buttons : A Christmas Tale” will be shown in the Community Room. Buttons: is the magical, musical story that shows believing can be the greatest gift of all. Follow the heartwarming journey of two orphan girls whose only wish is to find a home for Christmas. With a little help from their guardian angels (screen legends Dick Van Dyke and Angela Lansbury), they discover that miracles really can happen when you find the power to believe. From director Tim Janis, this inspiring holiday film for the whole family features an all-star cast including Jane Seymour, Roma Downey and Abigail Spencer, and is narrated by Kate Winslet and Robert Redford, with a special song by Sir Paul McCartney.

CALLING ALL CRAFTERS!
Isn’t it painful to toss all those beautiful cards you receive when the holidays are over? Well, come to our Up-cycled Holiday Three-Dimensional Stars class, and you will never want to toss a card again. You are welcomed to bring some of your own cards to this class–or use our supplies and leave this workshop knowing how to make more stars with your own special holiday, graduation, birthday, and even left over wedding invitations for a precious keepsake cards. These stars can be hung in doorways or alcoves, and you can even cut a point off and use the star as your tree topper. We will use glitter and shiny beads to result in a razzle-dazzle effect.

The Mothers Wing addition has enjoyed a vibrant life since opening its doors over a year and half ago. There is rarely a day that adult and children programs, meetings, movies or private events are not taking place in the beautiful and spacious Community Room with its superb audio-visual capability. The Business Center computer stalls and the Book Sale Cellar have also attracted many new patrons. The Mothers Wing has received rave reviews and we couldn’t be happier.
Our 3-year campaign to finance the Mothers Wing is entering its final stretch. In less than 30 days, we will be celebrating the third anniversary of the reopening of the Library’s long-sealed front door by former First Lady Laura Bush, which kicked off the Mothers Wing campaign. On Friday, August 16 at 5:30 pm, we will honor the campaign’s third anniversary with a Ceremonial Burning of our mortgage at the Library. Light refreshments will be served!
Please join the Library’s Trustees and help us retire this loan. It’s not too late to make a contribution to retire this debt…and Burn the Mortgage!
