Berne Library Notes for Thursday, March 26, 2015
"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade." wrote Charles Dickens in his novel, “Great Expectations.” He could have easily been describing the Hilltowns instead of England.
Book and jewelry sale
The Friends of the Library hope you got wind of the Book and Jewelry Sale this weekend. Find some fantastic bargains on books, jewelry, puzzles, audio-books, and movies. The sale is Saturday, March 28, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, March 29, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Hilltown Senior Center, 1360 Rte. 443.
Bees and beekeeping
Bees fly like the wind at the speed of 15 miles per hour according to the website royalbees.com. Richard Ronconi and Mark Huth will present a program on bees and beekeeping at 7 p.m., on Monday, March 30, in the community room at the Berne Public Library. Intro to Beekeeping is for those interested in the life of bees or are considering keeping bees. The program is open to the public as are most library programs.
Story time
Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it. Children ages one to five and their caregivers will learn about kites during story time. Join Ms. Kathy at 10:30 a.m., on Tuesday, March 31 for stories, activities, and a craft on kites.
Library survey
The library’s board of trustees would like to see which way the wind blows when it comes to the community's view of the library. If you have not filled out a library survey yet, please do so before March 31. All residents over the age of five from the townships of Knox or Berne, including East Berne, are encouraged to express their opinions.
New catalog
The winds of change are upon us; March 31 is the first day of our new catalog. See the feature article elsewhere in this newspaper.
Friends meet
The Friends of the Library meet at 7 p.m., on Wednesday, April 1. The group will hear the summary of the book sale and get their second wind to plan a scrabble tournament. All interested adults are encouraged to attend.
Movie night
Movie Night is on Friday, April 3, at 6:30 p.m. The featured film this month is a fantasy and there is something in the wind for our unsuspecting hero. Check our website www.bernepubliclibrary.org for the title. Admission is free and refreshments are provided. Since the film is rated PG-13, this is a perfect night out for teens.
If you have not been to the Berne Public Library, throw caution to the wind and visit us this week. There is something for everyone.
