Berne Library Notes for Wednesday, January 22, 2020
Pikachu, where are you? Pokemon fans, time to pull all in for the Pokemon Tournament from 1 to 3 p.m. on Jan. 25. Name your top 10 electric, dragon, and generation 6 Pokemon. Gather your cards and flock to the library to join the fun. Refreshments are part of the plan.
Storytime
You’ve heard the stories. You’ve seen the pictures. Yeti climbing the mountaintop as day fades to night. Tall, hairy and sometimes scary. Yet helpful, caring and quietly sharing in their unique Yeti way.
Storytime Yeti at 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 28 invites those 5 and under, plus their caregivers, to join Miss Carrie as she weaves a Yeti tale, slombers around the room in a Yeti dance and yetis a craft of abominable proportions.
Book discussion
Participants of the winter reading challenge, “Get Cozy@Your Library With Health Stories', meet for their first of four activities at 4 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 31 in the library community space. A book discussion of “This Heart of Mine” by C.C. Hunter swims around Leah’s dealings with her ailing heart, transplant, teen romance and a murder mystery.
Upon receiving a transplanted organ, think about whether the receiver takes on some characteristics of the donor. Would you suddenly have a never before felt longing for friending a unicorn?
After the discussion there will be a lesson on how to use the MedlinePlus website to look up medical facts.
Planting Party
It’s just the right time to be dreaming about your 2020 garden. Broccoli Spear and the seed team have meticulously sorted through, catalogued and tagged a wide variety of vegetables, herbs and flowers to help your garden grow. Clean your starter pots, choose some seeds from the Seed Library and get this planting party sprouted. Berne’s Seed Library is open and ready for pick-me-ups.
Photo Exhibition
The photo submission deadline for the Friends Photo Exhibition is Friday, Jan. 31 at 5:30 p.m. A quick reminder of categories include Travel, Memories, Critters and Reflections on Water. You bring the pictures, and the Friends will happily hang them for February’s display.
Library Day
Heads up for the annual “Take your Child to the Library Day” on Saturday, Feb.1 from noon to 3 p.m. This will be Berne’s fifth installment welcoming children to explore special crafts and activities set up just for them. Swing by and let your kids creativity soar and use the library.
