Game Night Comes to Library
by Barbara Coger, Library Director
Hamilton Public Library will host it's second family fun game night on Thursday, Feb. 18 at 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Bring your favorite board game or play Apple to Apples, Boggle, Scrabble Slam, Monopoly Deal, or Pictureka! Or take a turn on our own mandolin, a Dave Folta original made from recycled materials. All ages are welcome.
It was a fun time last year with families braving the snowy weather to play Twister and match wits with challenging games. Refreshments will be provided.
Our "Bear-a-dise" continues. There is still a nice selection of Beanie Baby Bears and Beanie Buddies for only $3-$6. Take your pick from those on display behind the circulation desk. There is still time to buy a $.25 raffle ticket for the fine china collector's plate from the Lovable Teddies Collection. The drawing will be held on Saturday, Feb. 13.
Funds from the teddy bear sale will be used to purchase picture books for the children's area. We have already purchased I AM A BACKHOLE by Anna Grossnickle Hines and CAT DREAMS by Ursula Le Guin.
The library's meeting rooms are busy these days with literacy tutoring, U.S. Census testing and free tax assistance. If you are interested in finding out more information about any of these opportunities, call the library, 824-3060, for more information.
The library will be closed Monday, Feb. 15, in observance of Presidents Day.
The library is usually open Monday-Friday, 11 am - 8 pm, and Saturday, 10 am - 1 pm. Call the library for assistance during these hours. The bookdrop at the Broad Street entrance is always open for your convenience.
