Summer Reading Wrap Up

School will soon be starting…..can that mean that summer is coming to a close? What a summer it has been at the library. StoryTime, Chess Club, and reading good books! 89 readers participated in the Summer Reading Program this year, keeping track of minutes read. 19 readers totaled up 1,000 minutes each! Thanks to Lem’s for donating ice cream coupons for every 200 minutes spent reading. Each “scoop” on the cone represents 200 minutes, for a grand total off 38,600 minutes!! Way to go, Fredericksburg readers!!!!!

Listen to the mustn’ts, child.

Listen to the don’ts.

Listen to the shouldn’ts,

The impossibles,

The won’ts.

Listen to the never haves,

Then listen close to me…..

Anything can happen, child.

Anything can be.”

-Shel Silverstein

 

Warm wishes for a bright year filled with possibilities, from all your friends at the library!

Hear that Jingle, Jingle?

It must be Santa! Saturday, December 9 will be the date for our annual Christmas at the Library! Come and decorate a gingerbread house to take home, hear author David Lorah read his book The Night Santa Lost His Pants, then get ready for Santa to arrive on the firetruck, stopping in to listen to all the Christmas wishes of the boys and girls who come to see him. He will also light the community Christmas tree and start his train rolling on the tracks beneath the tree. It’s all free of charge! A suggested donation of a non-perishable food item, toy or socks will help us fill Santa’s pants for a good cause! It all starts at 10 a.m.-gingerbread house decorating ( sign up required), 11 a.m.: David Lorah, 11:30- Santa arrives.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are so grateful for the many ways people find to support the library. Our community businesses, churches, and individuals are all so generous. Sometimes we receive donations from people from far away, who come to Fredericksburg to ride in the Library Roll, or just to visit, and are moved to give. If you are one of these people, know that every time we receive a gift, it is so appreciated, and encourages us to keep this “Little Engine That Could” going. This year we celebrate the opening of Simply Hand Made,  a wonderful little gift shop in the 100-year-old jail building, with proceeds benefitting the library. The talented artists and makers who place their items there for sale do so on commission, knowing they are also supporting the library. The volunteers who give their time at both the library and Simply Hand Made are the other reason the library is here, 19 years after opening.

We are pleased to announce that the library has received grants from The Wayne County Community Foundation and the Laura B. Frick Foundation which will go toward the renovation of the McCay building across the street. This beautiful building, built in the 1800’s, will house a coffee shop and a display area for the library’s Fredericksburg history collection. Known as J.C. Weaver’s store, many here in Fredericksburg have great memories of working or shopping there in the 1950’s & 60’s.

Stop in the library, the next time you are in this area. We would love to tell you more!
