Arts & Crafts Program: Quilt block

Our program for adults made quilt block trivets today. We had several sewing machines brought in along with ironing boards. My coworker lead the class and taught the basic 9 patch quilt block and one that is a little more advanced. It was fun! Pictured below are the blocks we finished. I can't wait to have mine sitting on my table. It is the perfect size to set my frying pan on.

COVID-19

COVID-19 information board that I did not put together (my coworker did) but I still wanted to post. We have had so many questions about the virus and now it can be found on this lovely board.

Don't forget all the wonderful online options we have!

This is our welcome chalkboard that we often write interesting facts or stats on. I thought it was funny.

Marshall Madness 2020

It's that time of year again for Marshall Madness! This year to mix things up a bit we are doing a staff favorites edition. I asked library staff to nominate a favorite book and now we get to VOTE! Voting takes place at the library and online (using a Google form).

 

Each week titles with the most votes will move onto the next round. This will go on for 4 weeks and the winner will be announced at the end of the month. I will update this post with the winner announced. For past Marshall Madness displays click here.

Monkey Business

It's not Monkey Business....It's True!

There is another book with that title.

Two books with the same/similar titles are categories in the 50/50 Book Quest this year.

Blind Date with a Book

It's time again for the 8th annual Blind Date with a Book. Our patrons love this display. This year to make it a little different we posted a category on each wrapped book that corresponds with our book quest year long challenge.  Barcode number is written on the back.
