Library News from South Country Library December 13, 2022 Building community by sharing the wonders of learning, creating, and connecting with one another. |
|
Hello South Country Community, Adults -- is it about time you got a new app for your smartphone? Come to our Useful Free Apps program tomorrow to learn about the most helpful zero-cost apps that might deserve a spot on your screen. Families with children -- there are still seats available for our DIY Holiday Ornaments program for 2nd-5th graders on Saturday. Plus, take a look at our holiday take-home crafts and sneak a peek at our January programs. Teens -- Our teen librarian is like Santa, but instead of once a year, she's got a box for you every month -- a Book Box! This month's box is filled with winter goodies to keep and a book to borrow. We will be closed Saturday, December 24 through Monday, December 26. We will reopen on Tuesday, December 27 at 9:30 AM. We wish you all a Happy Hanukkah, Soulful Solstice, Merry Christmas, and Joyous Kwanzaa (and of course, a Happy Festivus for the rest of us). ~ South Country Library |
