Harlem Library

Happy New Year from your library! We hope you will make a resolution to use your library more this year. We have all types of services available for you. Check out our Facebook page and website at http://www.harlempubiclibrary.org to keep up on the happenings.

The 2024 Book Challenge is underway. The challenge for January is to read a book with a three-word title. We have a selection on display for you to choose from. When you complete the challenge notify the library and your name will be entered to win a $10 gift card from a local business.

The Book Club’s new selection is “Hang the Moon” by Jeannette Walls. You may pick up a copy this week and the first discussion will be Monday, January 8, 4 P.M. in the library meeting room.

Children’s programming resumes this week. After School Squad, STEM activities for grade school students, meets on Wednesdays from 4:00 - 5:00 P.M. Lego Club for all ages is held on Thursdays from 4:00 - 5:00 P.M. Preschool children must be accompanied by an adult. Storytime for ages 0-5 and their parents/caregivers has moved from Tuesdays to Fridays at 10 A.M.

Film Fridays have been discontinued.

Thanks again to everyone who supported the holiday wine and cheese fundraiser. It was the most successful fundraiser to date!

Two new DVDs added to the collection include the PBS film “The American Buffalo” by Ken Burns and “Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3.”
