Berne Library Notes for Wednesday, March 4, 2015
What is important to our community? How can the Berne Public Library contribute to these community aspirations? Those living in the town of Berne will be receiving a library survey in the town newsletter. Additional copies of the survey are available at the library, the Berne town hall, the Knox town hall, and online through our website at www.bernepubliclibrary.org. The library’s board of trustees asks each individual from ages five to 105 in the townships of Berne and Knox, library users and nonusers, to fill out this survey. Your opinion is needed to form a strategic plan so that the library can service the community in the best possible way.
E-newsletter
Programs are part of the library's offerings. Our monthly e-newsletter lists the programs for March. If you would like to receive a copy of this e-newsletter, e-mail Judy at director@bernepubliclibrary.org.
Movie night
The monthly movie night is this Friday, March 6, at 6:30 p.m. While younger siblings are at the PTA movie night in the Berne-Knox-Westerlo Elementary gym, the teens are invited to the library for a newly released film on DVD that is rated PG-13. Admission is free and refreshments are provided.
Book discussion
Adults meet at the library to discuss works of literature. At 7 p.m. on Sunday, March 8, the group will delve into a conversation on “The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry” by Gabrielle Zevin. Participate in this interesting talk even if you have not read the book.
Story time
Literacy skills are developed in children ages one to five during story time. Join Ms. Kathy at 10:30 a.m., on Tuesday, March 10 for stories, activities, and a craft. Bring a favorite stuffed animal to be examined by a veterinarian and learn what vets do for a living.
Memoir group
Author Paulo Coelho said, "Writing means sharing. It's part of the human condition to want to share things — thoughts, ideas, opinions.” The Memoir Group will meet at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, March 11, to do just that. Write a story to share with the group.
Congratulations
