Berne Library Notes for Wednesday, September 24, 2014

According to the National Chicken Council, September is National Chicken Month.  Every year, chicken producers and grocery retailers come together to offer promotions and showcase delicious recipes. "Tastes like chicken" is considered a compliment.

If you are interested in raising your own chickens, the Berne Public Library is a wonderful source of information. All you need is a free library card. There is no charge for borrowing items as long as they are returned by their due date. Add to your nest egg by using your library's resources instead of purchasing items.  

Story time

Story time on Tuesday, Sept. 30 will focus on chickens. Children ages one to five and their caregivers are invited to join Ms. Kathy at 10:30 a.m. for stories, activities, and a craft.  Perhaps she will teach you the Chicken Dance.

Friends meet

The Friends of the Berne Library meet on Wednesday, Oct. 1, at 7:30 p.m., in the Community Room of the library. The group plans to hatch some ideas for the lasagna dinner fund-raiser on Nov. 15. If you are interested in supporting the library, they are interested in having you as a Friend.

One of the Friends is supporting the library with proceeds from her tag sale. The sale is at 232 Rock Road, Knox on Oct. 3 and 4, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Since it will be in the basement, there is no need for a rain date.  Get up with the chickens for the best deals.

Movie night

Chickens are believed to have evolved from reptiles.  A large reptile is featured during movie night at the library on Friday, Oct. 3, at 6:30 p.m. The film is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of destruction, mayhem, and creature violence and may not be appropriate for young children.  Admission is free and refreshments will be served.  

If you have not visited the library at its new location, this is the month to show that you are not chicken-hearted. Hope to see you there.
