Berne Library Notes for Friday, October 16, 2015

"To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone, and a funny bone,” said musician Reba McEntire. In case you haven't guessed, bones is the library theme for this week.  

Lego League

Lego League meets on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 11 a.m.  Kids will use the library's Legos to make skeletons and haunted houses to be put on display for Halloween. Anyone can join in the fun but the program is designed for children ages 5 to 12.  

Knit Wits

On Sunday, Oct. 18, the Knit Wits meet at 7 p.m. to work on their own knitting or crocheting projects while sharing problems, solutions, and conversation. The group is currently collecting hats for preemies and cancer patients. When a person is chilled to the bone, a warm soft hat is exactly what they need.  

Story time

Children ages 1 to 5 and their caregivers are invited to examine skeletons and bones on Tuesday, Oct. 20.  Join Ms. Kathy for story time at 10:30 a.m.  This pre-literacy program includes stories, activities, and a craft.

Memoir writing

Have you ever had a bone-shaking experience?  Write down your story and bring it to the Memoir writing program on Wednesday, Oct. 21. All interested adults may attend this session which begins at 2 p.m. and is facilitated by MaryJo McKeon. Look for writing ideas in the “Writer's Digest,” a magazine that may be borrowed from the library.   

Inky Fingers

The human hand has 27 distinct bones, which work together to create some amazing things. Try your hand at paper crafting on Thursday, Oct. 22. The Inky Fingers group meets at 7 p.m. to share techniques and ideas for making gift cards.  Please let the library know if you would like to attend so there are adequate supplies.  Call 872-1246 or e-mail HYPERLINK "mailto:[email protected]" .

Working hard

Men are currently working their fingers to the bone on regrading and repaving the parking lot.  Because the sewage line runs along the entrance driveway and the drainage pipe runs along the exit driveway, no cars should be parked on the sides of the building.  Please park in the main parking area only. The WiFi has been relocated to accommodate this change.      

Make no bones about it; the library is the place to go for education and entertainment. Your free library card is the skeletal key to the door.
