We’re having a special book sale day on February 2, Ground Hog Day from 1:00 – 7:00. Stop by the basement and load up on some great reads for this winter. Cost is $2.00 per bag. This week, we’re signing folks up for the 11th annual Love My Library Adult Reading Program! The program runs through the end of March. During the winter it’s easy to get into a rut, waiting for warmer weather and spring activities. Here’s where coming to the Library for some fun events will help you beat the winter blahs! You sign up for the program, read whatever books you want to read and come to the 3 -4 book talks scheduled, to share with the group what you liked or didn’t like about the books you read. We serve lunch or dinner (usually made by the staff) and sometimes have some games to play. At the end of the program we’ll schedule a final book talk and party, complete with prizes. Stop by the library or call us (785-486-3326) to sign up! Our first book talk will be on Feb 6 at 5:30 – we’ll provide a soup dinner. During the month of December the Library sponsored Food for Fines – 1 can of food for every $1.00 of fines. Food was distributed to the Ministerial Alliance. We are happy to report that the Library was able to donate 89 cans of food to this effort. Fun! Refreshments! Spin the Wheel for some GREAT prizes! Check out the newest books! We’ve got some great series going for this group. All of this is for our Teens and Tweens (High School and Middle School kids) November 28 – December 1. Looking forward to seeing you at the library! If you haven’t had a chance to read the Hunger Games Trilogy you still have time before the movie comes out. Check out this movie trailer on YouTube The Hunger Games . The library has all of the books so call, check our on-line catalog and place a hold or stop by the library to get your copy to read. Come to the Library, November 15 at 9:00 for a special Story time! The Library staff are celebrating Kansas Reads to Preschoolers Week. We’ll have a great story and a snack for the kids. It’s that time of year again, when the Friends of the Library kick off their annual Book Sale. This year, during the Tri-County Manor’s Oktoberfest, the Library basement will be open from 8:00 – 2:00 to offer you some great items for sale! We have a lot of near new used books, ex-library books, videos, audio books and children’s books for sale. Stop by the library while you’re downtown and help us raise money for the Library!!!!! We’ve only got a limited supply of these great T-shirts left, but will be taking orders for another order. So stop by the library to see the shirts and if we have your size. Price is $15.00. On the green one, the front reads: Life is Great! Reading makes it Better! On the blue shirt it reads: If I Only Had a Book. On the back of both is printed Horton Public Library, Horton, Kansas. Help us promote our city’s library and our love for reading! |
