Berne Library Notes for Thursday, March 15, 2018

There’s a shift in the air. Do you feel it? You can almost hear buds bursting from the tree tops. It’s time for snow to leave and crocuses to leap. Taste buds will soon be delighting in this year’s maple syrup run. Rounding the corner from winter to spring is pure magic as each day reveals subtle changes.

Story time

With daylight savings nearly a week old, spring officially bounces into view at this weeks 10:30 a.m. Storytime on March 20. The 5 and under crowd, with caregivers in tow, are invited to join Kathy as she shines a light on the wonders of spring. A book and a craft, added to playtime, roll into sprinkles of growth and sharing. Remember those Leprechaun’s from last week’s Storytime? They are still on the prowl for a bit of mischief.

Friends

Joining the Friends of the Berne Library over at the Berne Community/Senior Center, the wee men sporting green hats will be watching the action. Wistfully looking forward to any books, media, games, puzzles and jewelry people may drop off between 9 a.m. to noon this Saturday, March 17. These donations will enhance the growing assortment of reading and playing finds available at the Friends book sale March 24 and 25. Maybe there will be items related to shoe mending or gardening or how to make a kite or where to look for the Leprechaun’s hidden pot of gold.

Knit Wits

Are you interested in learning to knit or crochet? The Knit Wit team is willing and able to impart their knowledge in this realm. Stop by with questions for the crafty crew members assembling in the library’s community room Sunday, March 18 at 7 p.m.

As we plow through the month of March, keep in mind our state bird. This is the time of year for Eastern Bluebirds, and many other winged creatures, to migrate north for breeding, scouting for nesting sites
