AMnesty Week

We are pleased to once again announce our Groundhogs Day Amnesty Week. We've even extended the dates! From January 25 throught February 7, bring in one item of non-perishable food and we'll forgive up to $1 in fines, including old fines. For those two weeks, you can also pay for printing and copies with non-perishable food items also. Each item will be worth up to one dollar of prints/copies.

We're hoping for Phil not to see his shadow so that Spring will soon be here!

New Year's Reading Resolutions

On another blog, David W. posted his New Year's Reading Resolutions. I love this idea so I decided to create my own.

Here's are my New Year's Reading Resolutions- one for each month of the year:

1. I will read a biography

2. I will read a book about the history of my city

3. I will find a poetry book and read some poems out loud

4. I will visit a new library

5. I will read a yound adult novel

6. I will re-read a childhood favorite

7. I will read a non-fiction book on a new subject

8. I will listen to a Playaway

9. I will read a new author

10. I will share my favorite books of the year with my some of my favorite people
