Friends of the Berne Library are also friends to vibrant flowers.
What’s your favorite treat? Is it ice cream draped with hot fudge, then piled high with whipped cream and sprinkled with nuts? Or perhaps you like to treat yourself to a daily dose of quiet listening. Maybe reading or writing in your journal or working on that classic car in the garage kicks the happiness meter to the top.
Put up the “Please let me enjoy my favorite treat for just 5 minutes” sign. Then, stretch out and indulge if you dare. Give yourself a gift today and every day by starting the day with a smile.
Trolling through the stacks at the library shook down a few titles you might want to treat yourself to:
— “Debbie Travis’s Weekend Projects” by Debbie Travis with Barbara Dingle;
— “A View to a Kilt” by Kaitlyn Dunnett;
— “Faith Takes Flight” by Julie Murphy;
— “You Are Awesome” by Neil Pasricha;
— “Molly Mischief My Best Job” by Adam Hargreaves;
— Kalyn Josephson’s debut novel “The Storm Crow”; and
— Katherine Applegate’s sequel to “The One and Only Ivan” titled “The One and Only Bob.” Pictured on the front cover are friends Ivan, a gorilla; Ruby, an elephant; and Bob, the dog.
Just a wee drop in the bucket of all that fills the library shelves. Order up a few books today for your reading or project pleasure.
Check out the library’s website at www.bernepubliclibrary.org to view new titles added to the collection.
Board meets
The monthly Library Board of Trustees meeting convenes at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 10. An outside meeting is planned to accommodate guidelines. These meetings are open to the public.
Reading Program
September 12 puts a wrapper on this year’s summer reading program. Two hikes and a bike ride were enjoyed during the “Imagine Your Story” summer months. Make and Take projects were handed out and kids through adult readers logged in their reading minutes. There’s no reason to stop now. Keep those reading muscles going with your own mini reading challenges.
Reading fun
It’s great to see all the Friday storytime fans watching Miss Kathy unfold another adventure for you to enjoy. Remember to tune into Facebook live each Friday at 3 p.m for another new treat from the magical world of reading.
Oh, and as you make your way into the library for some pick-me-ups, be sure to take a moment and enjoy the beauty of the flower garden tenderly cared for by a Friends of the Berne Library member.
Thank you for visiting during the temporarily placed new operating hours of Monday through Friday from 2 to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Questions anyone? Call the library at 518-872-1246.
