Berne Library Notes for Tuesday, December 23, 2014

Saint Francis of Assisi said, "It is in giving that we receive."  If you would like to receive a tax deduction for 2014, consider giving to the Friends of the Berne Library before the end of the year. Donations are used to support the library by providing money for matching grants, purchasing supplies for the summer reading program, bringing special programs to the library, and more.  

To show gratitude for donations of time and money, the Friends are holding an open house on Sunday, Jan. 4, from 2 to 4 p.m. January is the 12th year anniversary of the Friends. If you supported the library in 2014, you are invited to this celebration.  Refreshments will be served.

Family Playtime

When your children claim to be bored, bring them to the library.  The community room is set aside for Family Playtime on Saturday, Dec. 27, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Toys, puzzles, Legos, Duplos, and dress-up clothes are available for your use. Pick up a book or a movie before going home.
