Berne Library Notes for Thursday, May 24, 2018

A bevy of Berne Library fans and supporters are funneling a united effort of creativity into their float entry for the 2018 Memorial Day Parade. Watch for familiar smiling faces atop the decorated wagon this Monday, May 28. Parade commences at 10 a.m. in Berne and rolls over to Knox for a 12 noon showing. Put a reminder flag on your calendar that the library will be closed May 28 in observance of Memorial Day.

Story time

Bringing a parade inside Tuesday May 29 for Story time is certain to bring on smile activity. Starting at 10:30 a.m. sharp, children 5 and under, with their support staff, listen to Kathy Stempel’s book pick of the day. Then ready your marching skills as you scoop up some musical instruments, grab a flag or scarf to wave and get parading. Inside, outside and all through the stacks, there’s something magical about to take place.

Overflow books

Overflowing bookshelves mean titles shifting to the bargain corner sitting behind the whiteboard announcement stand. “Check out” the many available reads waiting to find a home. Evanovich, Connelly, Patterson. Decorating, history and books for the kids. Due dates do not apply here.

Thank you for your support.
