     This being the short month of February, there are many events going on.  First it's "Leap
Year", Sadie Hawkins Day in my era.  I cannot forget the "Sweetheart" of a day, Valentine's
Day.  We will be holding a "Valentine Bingo for Books" on Tuesday, February 12.  There
will also be a Valentine raffle that night.
     We continue to celebrate Presidents’ Day in honor of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.  That week is celebrated during our Winter Break.  "Presidents’ Day" also considers all our presidents.

     This month is dedicated to "Black History"  and our library biography inventory is well stocked to represent both "Black History", and the Presidents.  You will find both featured in the library. 

     During your winter break, visit the public library.  Pajama Story time will be held 6:30 p.m. on February 7th and 21st.  Walk-in crafts program at 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. on February 6th and 20th.  Join in the fun.  There is a lot of interesting reading to be had.  So take this time and

Read, Read, Read
