Reader Recommendation Caraval by Stephanie Garber "It's about a magic carnival that involves fantasy and mystery. It leaves you wondering what is going to happen until the very last second. I love that it's the first in a series also."
Shelbie, Main Branch Adult Services Programming Coordinator
Stocking Take & Makes
Create your own stocking decoration with our newest Main Branch's Adult Take & Make Craft, available while supplies last. This project is hand-stitching friendly, or we have sewing machines upstairs in the Makerspace.
Puzzles Once upon a time, our puzzles were for use in
the library, and even though they may still be marked "In House Use Only," you are welcome to check them out and take them home. If you haven't visited the Library of Things, please come upstairs the next time you're at Main Branch and take a look around.
Gift Wrap Drive
We'd certainly appreciate extra gift wrapping items for our Main Branch Makerspace. Please consider contributing wrapping paper, tapes, bows, and ribbon. We have a handy-dandy wrapping paper cutter, and we'd like to be able to offer everyone all the supplies they need for wrapping beautiful gifts.
e t a e r c r o e T to help the van A N O D
Help keep our unsheltered neighbors warm by donating new gloves, hats, and socks this holiday season in the Main Branch Children's Department. Knitting for a Cause Main Branch Adults has looms and yarn available for those who would like to join us for Knitting for a Cause, creating hand-made gifts to be distributed by The Van. Stop by the Adult Department desk or Library of Things for details.
