Berne Library Notes for Sunday, October 8, 2017

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle, the library is open on Monday, Oct. 9 even though it is Columbus Day.  Stop by during our normal hours of 4 to 8 p.m.  Although the library is open, remember that the town of Berne transfer station is closed.

Story Time

Children ages 1 to 5 are invited to join Ms. Kathy at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday Oct. 10 for Storytime. The pre-literacy program teaches skills in a fun environment. This week the stories, activities, music, and craft will be about monkeys.  

Severe weather

Severe weather events certainly can throw a monkey wrench into our lives. Discussion of this issue and how community members can work together are the focus of the second session of Pushing the Limits. This science cafe/book club meets at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Oct. 10. Refreshments will be available. Please pick up Zeitoun by Dave Eggers for the book discussion and register for this program on climate change.

Trustees meet

The trustees of the library meet at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 12. There won't be any monkey business, but they will be discussing library business. This is an open meeting and community members are encouraged to attend.

TAG

The teen action group has more fun than a barrel of monkeys. TAG is having a Zombie Escape Room at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 13. Work in teams using your wits and problem solving skills to exit the room in the time allowed. The building is closed to the public but not to teens. Bring a friend or come alone and make some new friends.

Knit Wits

The Knit Wits meet at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 15. If you knit or crochet, stop in for an hour or so to work on your own project with the support of other like-minded crafters.  Perhaps someone has a pattern for knitting a monkey.

If someone made a monkey out of you because you were lacking knowledge on a topic, it is time to visit the library and expand your horizons.
