It is hard to believe that this will be the 25th year for this program!

Wednesday Movies have begun. We will show a movie every Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. The movie today will be “Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors”, which runs for 85 minutes. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be served. “The Lady in the Van” will be the movie next Wednesday.

Be sure to stop by our booth and see what it’s all about and find out what the library has to offer and register for our door prizes. The library will be closing at 4:00 p.m. Friday September 23rd, so staff can supervise the train derby building workshop, which will be located next to Shore’s Floral.

New movies this week are Me Before You and Jungle Book. We have 2 non-fiction books and a number of suspense novels ready to go this week. It is never too early to start thinking about Christmas and checking out “Christmas with Southern Living 2016” is a great way to get started. “In Such Good Company” by Carol Burnett is all about her weekly variety show that was a hit for eleven years. If you like suspense, we have plenty to choose from. “The Shattered Tree” by Charles Todd, “A Great Reckoning” by Louise Penny, “Puppet Master” by Dale Brown, “Revenge in a Cold River” by Anne Perry and “Apprentice in Death” by J.D. Robb are new suspense/thrillers ready to go this week.
