November is a long short month - only 30 days, with three holidays.

We will be closed on Weds. Nov. 11th in observance of Veterans' Day, and on November 26th, 27th, and 28th for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

 

Speaking of Thanksgiving, I want to thank the Kiwanis Club of Everett for their generous support of the libraries. They sponsored prizes for our April poetry contest and our summer reading challenge, as well as refreshments for our summer reading wrap up party.  They are having a fundraiser on November 4th at the Connolly Center from 4-7 PM.  Your support flows into the community, (including us !), so squeeze another big dinner into your plans if you can!

 

I want to thank the Friends of the Everett Public Libraries as well. Over the years they have been generous with supporting some of our library programs, most recently last month's Adopt a Ghost, and refreshments for our Spanish lessons on Saturdays.

They have also supported music classes for kids, - the next one is Nov. 5th at the Parlin Library from 3 - 4:30.

 

Nov. 3rd is Election Day, and I am grateful for our Founding Fathers (and Mothers) for our 250 years of self rule. On Tuesday, Nov. 17th, come to the Parlin Library to see historical interpreter Audrey Stuck-Girard, who has performed at Adams National Park, speak as Abigail Adams of the times "in which a genius would wish to live."   Learn how to make guacamole on Saturday, Nov. 21st!  Don't forget our Books and Brews meetings, this month at Short Path Distillery.

 

Finally, thank YOU, all our patrons and newsletter subscribers for keeping up with the Everett Public Libraries and spreading the word to family, friends, and acquaintances!
