Scrapbook of Thanks

On Monday, November 23 from 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. students in grades 3-8 are invited to join Meg Loven of Stampin’ Up! for a Thanksgiving crafting program. Use your creativity and the provided crafting supplies to make a Scrapbook of Thanks. Registration is required. Please call the library at 586-2611 to preregister.

An example of the scrapbook is in the library display case. It's a cute paper bag scrapbook. Since it's made from paper bags, you have pages for attaching pictures or writing thoughts, and some pages have pockets for inserting pics or information on tabs (which you can see in the example!)

This would even make a great gift to give to that person you're thankful for!

Twilight Jeopardy Time Change!

Please note that the Twilight Jeopardy program will now be held from 3:30-4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 17th.
