Berne Library Notes for Tuesday, December 15, 2020
“Genres of the Book World”
By SLS
Genres of the book world, finding places on the shelf
Mystery, History, Humor, Travel
Romance and Self-Help
Fantasy and Sci-Fi
Is there a difference ’tween the two?
One has mythic creatures and super powers too
Sci-Fi is dystopic. Fantasy? well, maybe not
Memoirs bolster courage in overcoming odds
Classic lit and children’s lit and lit for only women
How-To Guides and Motivation
Adventure, Art, and Thrillers
Graphic Novels, Westerns, Comics
Real stuff they call nonfiction
Cookbooks, Health, Biographies
Shocking True-Crime Dramas
It’s time to sit and take a break
Grab your drink
Choose your books
Find your spot
Relax and think
With poems in the garden

Tease your taste buds
With many people spending much more time at home, the library taps food and drink to pull rank in a pocket display. Books and movies with food or drink themes are in the spotlight for quick pick-me-up enjoyment.
Some of the book titles offer recipes in their pages. You’ll find chocolate, wine, tea, and breakfast foods to start your day with an energetic boost. Break out the mixing bowls while devouring reads that may tease your taste buds.
Crafts fly
Those take-and-make crafts continue to fly out the door each week. Projects worth snagging for stirring imaginations and fostering confidence with hands-on success.
Just inside the library’s front door, check the table displaying the latest craft. New ones rotate in on a regular basis. Check the library’s Facebook page for announcements. Also, tune into Facebook live every Friday for virtual story time with Miss Kathy.
Hours reduced
Following the latest uptick in COVID-19 numbers, the library director is reducing library hours for the public. New hours are Monday through Friday from 2 to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. until further notice.
The library will be closed on Christmas Day. For more information, call the library at 518-872-1246.
Thank you
The library staff sends a big thank-you to all Berne library visitors for masking up and respecting personal space parameters. Thank you for your short visits and your continued support during the transitions. It is a privilege to serve you. Be well, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.
