The book discussion this month is being hosted by Maryellen Easom. Books are still available for check out at the library.

Knitting circle
The knitting circle that started up this fall will continue through the winter months. During December the group will meet on December 5 and December 19 at 6:00 pm. Learn knitting basics or bring your projects in progress. Some materials will be provided. For more information contact the library or Sylvia Hamilton.
Decorating the library
We will be decorating our new library for Christmas this year. Meet at the library on Saturday, December 7. We will have a tree set up. Bring in an ornament or two to hang on the tree, and any other decorations you may want to display at the library for the season. Decorations may be donated to the library, or just loaned for the season. Let's get jolly at the library!
Christmas Reading
Our annual Christmas Reading will also be held December 7 at Beckwith's Lodge in Lower Stanley. Please bring a holiday hors d'oeuvre to share, and Christmas spirits. We will meet at the lodge at 6:00, reading generally begins around 6:30. This event may not be appropriate for very young children, as it requires being still and listening for quite a long period of time.
Our thanks to many
We at the library are thankful this year for all the wonderful people who have helped make this library great. From board members past and present, to friends of the library who help out at various occasions, to all the amazing donors who gave so generously to our building fund. It says so much about our community that we have a brand new, state of the art library in Stanley, Idaho. So many folks who stopped by our library during the tourist season made that comment. When they heard the rest of the story, that the building was built and land purchased without raising taxes, their amazement was doubled. Happy Thanksgiving from the library staff and Board of Trustees!
2014 Calendars
Don't forget our fabulous 2014 Sawtooth Scenes calendar is on sale now. One calendar sells for fifteen dollars, buy ten for one hundred ten dollars! Calendars are available at the library and various merchants in Stanley. They are also available online at www.sawtoothcalendar.com. There are less than 200 calendars left so don't miss out!
