Keep cozy and read a mystery

cozy mysteries on display

Added a baby crocheted hat and an super long scarf for a "cozy" touch.

2016 primary theme

This is another board in the primary room. I used punched out circles for the boarder. Scripture of the month are on the white papers and then shadowed with a bright piece of scrapbook paper.

2015 Primary theme

 Last years primary theme was I Know that my Savior lives. For this board I wanted to have pictures of the primary children. First I made a timeline of the Savior's life with the painting of him teaching the children in the middle.

Monthly themes are on the circles at the bottom. Blue side panel has the scripture we are working on and one of the songs we learned during the year.

I then took individual pictures of the primary children looking to one side so that it would appear that they were looking at Jesus.

I cut the pictures of the children out and mounted them around the picture of Jesus with the children.

I loved how it turned out. 

Remembering Veteran's Day

This year I decided to do a display to honor our vets for the month of November. (Veteran's Day is Nov 11th)

Image found on google images when I searched veteran's day images. (link)

Put streamers down the sides of the shelf.

Books on the display included historical fiction war stories about American soldiers throughout history.

Cookbook Discussion Group

Press release for new program

The Marshall Public Library has many book discussion groups that meet at the library. At these meetings they discuss a book that they read during the month. We are going to step out of this cookie-cutter mold with a new book group, MPL Recipe Box, the cookbook discussion group that allows you to sample your way through a cookbook!

Do you love cookbooks or maybe just need new recipes to try? Have you ever checked out a cookbook and then didn’t have the time (or bravery) to try more than one recipe? If so, this is the book group for you.

Each month has a theme. For example, one month could be cookies and the next could be salads. For MPL Recipe Box, a few cookbooks will be set aside for participants to choose one recipe from that they will prepare for the discussion.  All recipes for the discussion come from the chosen cookbooks. When you register, a librarian will make a copy of the recipe you choose and mark it so there are no duplicates. At our meeting, participants will bring their chosen recipe prepared and ready to share with the group.

 All recipes for the discussion come from the chosen cookbooks. We will sample the dishes while we discuss ingredients, substitutions, helpful hints and the big question: would you make it again? Don’t forget to register for MPL Recipe Box. We meet on the first Wednesday of each month at varying times.

You don’t have to be a gourmet chef to participate. All skill levels are welcome.  Beginners can learn from experienced cooks, and those with a lot of experience can show off their cooking knowledge as we eat our way through the culinary section of the library. Those who attend must be registered and bring a prepared recipe. Register every month because space is limited. Selected cookbooks, theme, and registration are at the Help Desk on the first floor. Our first meeting is November 4 at 7pm and the theme is pie.

This is a snapshot of 2 books we compared for the bread themed discussion and some of the delicious samples.
