Berne Library Notes for Tuesday, December 13, 2022

“You’re a keen one, Mr. Grinch.”

“This fog’s as soupy as peanut butter.”

“You slurp what you want, I’ll slurp what I want.”

“Well, in Howville, they say Somebody’s heart grew three sizes that day.”

“The thing about trains … it matters where they’re going, once you decide to step off.”

Wait just a Polar Express minute. Something’s less than spot on here. Can you figure out what derailed?

You’ll be able to get at least one corrected line back on the tracks this Friday, Dec. 16, when the “Polar Express Pajama Party” steams into the library from 5 to 7 p.m. That’s right! It’s going to be a special Family Interactive Movie night and a Pajama Party to boot.

Call in your reservations, don your pajamas, and head over to join this free family-friendly event. Popcorn and hot cocoa are included.

Upcoming

These events will unfold soon at our library:

— A bi-weekly Pokemon Club initiates lift off this Saturday the 17th. If you enjoy Pokemon, this club’s for you. Plan on meeting at 2 p.m. in the library’s community room;

— On Dec. 18 at 7 p.m., the  Knit Wits hook up at the library. They’re stitching up a skein of possible project ideas for 2023. If you enjoy yarning as much as this group does, you are welcome to join in. Need help with something you are working on? This is the place to ask questions and share;

— Mrs. Claus story time is looking for the 4-and-under crowd to cozy in for listening to stories, enjoying a craft, and moving to the Christmas jingle beat on Tuesday, Dec. 20, at 10:30 a.m.; and

— Kathy Ceceri, author of “Musical Inventions,” is facilitating a special DIY experience at the library on Dec. 29, at 1pm. This program, open to 15 participants in the 7ish to 11ish age range, will explore designing their own musical instruments. Musical inventions you can “toot, tap, crank, strum, pluck, and switch on.”

Ceceri, as well as being a writer, is a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and music) artist who enjoys creating hands-on learning. Her books help with teaching science, engineering, and more by developing successful arts and crafts events that’ll put you right in the action. Slots are sure to fill up fast, so take advantage of this unique opportunity by getting your name on the reservation list early.
