The book drop will be open for books, but please do not put audios or movies in the book drop. These items must be returned while the library is open.

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!

What better way to get into the Christmas Spirit then to make a stop at The Green Free Library.

Here are just a few of the signs of the holiday.

Newest staff member, Margo Sclichter shares her wonderful Santa collection with visitors and patrons during the month of December.






The Library Giving Tree is setup in hopes some Library Angels will donate coveted items that just weren't in the overstretched budget. If you are looking for an unusual gift to give someone on your list, stop in and grab an ornament off the tree. You may either purchase the book or DVD from your favorite retailer, or give cash or a check made out to The Green Free Library for the purchase amount written on the ornament. The library will include a special bookplate with the name of the person you are gifting in honor of, or the donor if you just want to help out the library. Remember, all donations (items or $) are tax deductible, as the library is a non-profit organization.








The Friends of The Green Free Library hosted the annual Dickens of a Christmas open house at the library. Good food, good fun and good music were free to all who attended.





And last, but certainly not least, Santa Claus did come to Town, or rather to The Green Free Story Time!

STILL MORE ITEMS

So here it is December, and I am still catching up on titles of books, movies and audio-books that we have recently added to the collection at The Green Free Library. With luck, I'll be up-to-date by the end of the year, and my New Year's Resolution will be to keep it that way.

STILL ACCEPTING BOOKS

Rumors are circulating...Yes it is true, The Friends of The Green Free Library has "defriended" us as far as the booksale is concerned. Lack of volunteers to help with the tedious and heavy work, as well as damp storage and work space has forced the decision that there will be no Friends of The Green Free Library Annual Booksale in 2012!

But...NEVER FEAR! Library staff and the director are working on something exciting for the new year to help raise money for the library and give you a place to recycle your old books as well as a place to find new (old) books. Look for an announcement soon, and don't stop bringing in donations pf gently used books, DVDs, and CDs. Sorry, we still don't take magazines, records, or text books.

Don't forget also that all money and items donated to the library are tax deductible.

E-READER WORKSHOP

The E-Reader workshop was well attended with 37 patrons and guests of The Green Free Library coming in to learn about the different types of E-Readers and how to use the Listen to Books Website to download E-books and Audio books to their devices.

Sorry you missed it? Another workshop will be scheduled after the holidays, so check back soon. Maybe Santa will leave a new Kindle in your stocking, or a Nook under your tree!

TUESDAY

Book club meets tonight at 6:30 PM in the main room of the library. Tonight's book discussion is on The Good Life, by Jay McInerney.


WEDNESDAY




Story Time for kids from birth to 5 years (and their parent or caregiver) begins at 10:15 AM in the Childrens Room. The theme this week will be Thanksgiving! There will be no Story Time next week because of the impending holiday, so come today and share the fun.

THURSDAY



Kids knitting will be in the afternoon. Join us after school at 3:30 PM, upstairs in the library. Don't know how to knit? No problem! Instructions and supplies will be provided by some very talented individuals. Plan to stay about an hour and have alot of fun.

HAPPY VETERANS DAY!

Happy Veterans Day! Don't forget to buy your poppy and wear it in support of all those who serve/served our country.

The Green Free Library is open today (Friday 11/11/11). Stop in anytime between 10:00 AM and closing. We close at 5:00 PM on Friday's for all those who haven't been kicked out at the last minute. While you're here, take a look at the WWII Veterans memorial next to the library.

Speaking Stones is a poem written by Wellsboro's own, David Bliss(WW II Vet), especially for the WW II Dedication.

The "Tree of Life" is an original work designed and created by sculptor Gareth Curtiss of Olympia, WA. A replacement for Wellsboro's long lost "World War II Honor Roll, the project was organized by the joint efforts of Betty Coolidge Frazier and Joan Spencer Hart in the late 90's. With the assistance and support of friends, family and townsfolk of the WWII vets the memorial was dedicated on November 10, 2002, and stands today to remind us of their service, "Lest We Forget".

NEW TITLES ADDED

October is over, and November is underway. I am still playing catch-up after the labor-intensive "annual appeal". Please return your donation to The Green Free Library at 134 Main Street in Wellsboro, PA 16901. Suggested amounts are on the letter, but donations of any amount are accepted and appreciated. (And TAX-DEDUCTIBLE!!)You don't have to be a member to donate and recieve the deduction, just include 2011-2012 in the memo area of your check or money order and provide a name and mailing adress for your receipt.
