Autographed “Cutting for Stone” Donated
Thanks to Richard and Leonie Smith and Lydah Pyles, Director of Development & Marketing for Literary Arts in Portland, our library received a copy of “Cutting for Stone” that was autographed specifically for the NPPL by Abraham Verghese. We have added it to the collection, and it is available for checkout.
Thank you, Richard and Leonie, for your support of our library!
Community Puzzle!
Join in the fun. A jigsaw puzzle has been started on the table in the computer room. Patrons are welcome to come in, sit down and enjoy finding a piece to the puzzle. Or a patron can stay awhile and perhaps find a new puzzle friend.
Holiday Closure
The Library will be closed on Monday, May 28 in recognition of Memorial Day.
Library Book Club
On Wednesday, May 30 at 7 p.m. at the Library, Book Club participants will discuss the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides, about what it means to be both male and female, Greek and American. This epic saga chronicles the family history and life of Calliope Stephanides. On the road to self-discovery, family secrets are uncovered, and an amazing genetic history is revealed.
New members are welcome. Refreshments will be served.
Craft Night
Bring your handicraft projects to the Library on Thursday, May 31 from 5:30-8 p.m.
Meet new friends, learn new skills, and enjoy the camaraderie. Craft items are sold at community events throughout the year in order to raise funds for Library materials and programs.
Quilt Raffle
The Westside Quilters Guild has donated a new quilt, now on display, for the Library to raffle. Tickets are $1 each. Proceeds help fund Library programs and materials.
Many Thanks to North Plains RV and Self Storage
The Friends of the Library have been given a free storage unit to house books between sales events. Friends members, city staff, and library staff are very grateful for this donation. We applaud the corporate support shown by owner Jeff Jensen and manager of operations, John Eisenbarth.
