Books about Valentine’s Day are ready to be read at the Berne Library.
Another week is dawning at the Berne Public Library. The magic think board is activated and ready to launch programs of inconceivable delight. Lower the lights, raise the curtain, and run the film.
Book Club
An oopsie doodle dropped last week when someone thought the book club members would be meeting on Feb, 2. That was Super Bowl Sunday! Of course the meeting had to be moved to the following Sunday.
Same book- “Educated” by Tara Westover, same time 7 p.m., same place the library, different date- Feb. 9. Glad that’s been straightened out.
Next month’s selection takes on “Lost Roses” by New York Times bestseller Martha Hall Kelly. Happy reading.
Storytime
Valentine storytime features hearts of many flavors waiting for the five and under sweethearts and their caregivers. Valentine books are ready to share, the bubble machine’s been filled with care and moving to the craft table is a noisy action packed affair. Wear your best shade of red and join your friends for Valentine storytime on Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 10:30 a.m.
Spanish for Beginners
Hola! Moving toward evening, on Tuesday Feb. 11 at 6 p.m., is the second installment of Spanish for Beginners. Open your hearts and enlarge your world as instructor Mary Hass shares different facets from her home culture.
Soak up new words, phrases and sentences throughout the month of Febrero. Aplaude a todos! Cheers all!
Board meets
It’s that time again. Trustee Thursday is set for Feb. 13 at 6:30 p.m. All Library Board of Trustee meetings are open to the public.
Special Activities
Now open up your library events calendar to pencil a couple of special activities happening in a couple weeks during school vacation.
