Na No Wri Mo--Come Write In!
So you signed up to do NaNoWriMo. Join us on Saturday mornings if you’re looking for a new space to write. We're open 9-noon and we have several areas with chairs, table surface and a close proximity to an outlet. You bring your laptop and willingness to write. We have prompts if you're stuck and a few snacks to keep your momentum going. Who knows, a new venue just might inspire you. And if you're free on Wednesdays, our friends at the Wilder Library are hosting another space for your creative writing endeavors. Double the libraries, double the fun!

This month's Take and Make--
Projects made from Burlap and an Embroidery Hoop

This month's Take and Make gives you a blank canvas for your personalized creation. We'll supply the burlap and the hoop, which is the basis for several Fall decorative crafts. You can make a burlap pocket that will hold seasonal stems. You can make a pumpkin with buttons, or sew on some felt leaves. We do have some additional supplies, like ribbon, buttons and felt. If one of these suggestions speaks to you, I'll see what we have to help you make that idea possible. I hope this hoop gets you in the mood to create something decorative for this season or the next.

Looking for a LEGO Leader
Interested in running a LEGO group at the Library? We've had some families
ask about afterschool LEGO time at the Library. It's something we can consider, if someone would be willing to commit to supervising and cleaning up afterwards. If you have 2 hours a month you can commit to this group, please send an email so that we can set up a time to talk more.

Got something to share???
I spoke with a patron recently who'd just come back from a trip abroad. As he was showing me some of his amazing pictures, he said, "That's what you should have, a night where we get to talk about the trips we've taken and show everyone the pictures we took."

So consider this your invitation. If you have something to share, maybe it's a trip you took, or a skill you 'd like to demonstrate, please let me know. I'm excited to see your pictures and to learn more about your passions. We had a wonderful time with Ben and Danielle from Route 5 Farm a few months ago and it would be such fun to offer a few more talks to our patrons. Email library@fairleevt.gov with your info.

A free book for you!
This year's title for the Vermont Reads initiative is the award-winning young adult novel by author Malinda Lo. In collaboration with The Tenney Memorial Library  we have a few books to give away. Stop on by to pick up a copy and it's yours to keep or pass on to a friend. Thank you to the Vermont Humanities for their generosity in funding this read along.

Wait until you see these new games
As the weather is turning and we're all looking for more indoor activities, you should stop by and check out our game selection. I recently added a few new ones to the mix, aged for 7 and up. Some are quick, some take a little more time. Looking at them all, I was delighted to see a theme emerge. (Thank you P for letting me know that "tacocat" is indeed a palindrome. )

A library of books is the fairest garden in the world, and to walk there is an ecstasy." E. Powys Mathers, The Arabian Nights
