Welcoming a New Year!

Friends of the Library will have their first meeting of the year on Thursday, January 6 from 12:00-1:00 at the Blue Lake Community Center.

Lucinda Says,

Everyone is very busy now, but we must remember our next meeting, January 6, 2011. We will be electing officers and voting on by-laws revision.

Our program will be put on by YOU, or as many of you as have a good book to share and we have time for.  So plan to share your Christmas book or another recent read you have enjoyed and think others will also enjoy. See you next year!      Lucinda

Everyone is invited to attend!

January is National Book Blitz Month!! So it is time to build up that book collection with some best sellers and personal favorites or donate them to your local library!
There are so many options for getting your hands on some really good reads. You can always read in the comfort of your home with a choice from your own assortment of literature. How about reading online or going to the library? Although going to the public library used to be an age old activity, it is now a fun filled adventure that the entire family can enjoy!
