The library will be collecting your Summer Reading Records from August 24-September 4. This year your donations will be given to the Walker Repurposing Committee for “seed money” to start a Community Garden behind the Walker School building. You don’t have to fill the entire record to earn a donation, but if you do, you will receive a gift card for an ice cream sandwich or mini cone at John’s Ice Cream. All ages can participate. Print a Summer Reading Record.

Thank you to the Summer Reading program sponsors: Liberty Graphics; Pieceworks, Inc.; Dewey’s Lumber; Joanne Pease, CPA; Qwerty Shoals LLC; individuals; John’s Ice Cream; and Liberty Library. This year John’s Ice Cream donated all the ice cream gift cards!

Well, our yearly Pick-a-Prize Raffle is in the books!  Thankfully, the rain held off so that we were able to hold both the raffle selling and the Ice Cream social without getting wet.

.

Thank you to everyone who came and bought tickets. Our sincere apologies for not checking to see if we had enough leftover sheet tickets  in time to order more. Thank you to those who waited in a long line Saturday afternoon and had to write their names on the rolls of tickets. Thank you to the organizations who loaned us tickets when we ran out of rolls. Just so you know – 2000 sheet tickets have already been ordered for next year!

.

Even with the snafu, 258 sets of 25 tickets were sold. Many of the prizes were given out Saturday night and others were called and picked up Sunday morning. Only 9 prizes remain at the library to be picked up by the end of the week. There was only one known mix-up with a mistaken number.

Thank you all to the many individuals and businesses who donated prizes for the raffle. There were 127 prizes! This event would not be possible without your generosity.

.

We apologize to those who did not get an ice cream sandwich because we ran out. We had 75 but will order more for next year. Thank you to John’s Ice Cream for making the sandwich order.

Congratulations to Tricia Andrade the winner of the “Blooming Night” quilt. We will miss this colorful piece hanging in our library but happy that it will bring you joy.

This was our last fundraiser for the summer. Thank you for all your support all summer and throughout the year.

As Julie promised in her introductory talk, she  will be available on the above dates for a series of learn-the-plants drop-in sessions at the library. Bring in plants to identify and she will help you make a plan to eradicate them, if desired. You do not need to have attended her introductory talk in order to participate in these drop-in sessions.

The last week! Joseph Barberio has returned with new sculptural clay forms. His approach ensures the singularity of each piece, since he builds either by coiling or forms a piece from hand rolled slabs. All his work is bisque fired in the normal fashion, then goes through a special, second firing with sawdust in small metal barrels. While he begins each piece with a specific design in mind, Joseph often lets the clay “talk” to him during the slow shaping process. His aim is sometimes sculptural rather than functional thus a few of his pieces are closed, mid-sized forms. None are considered food-safe, though his vase-like forms are treated on the interior to allow them to hold water.

Hector Fox and the Map of Mystery by Astrid Sheckles is the 4th Hector Fox book that will be featured on the StoryWalk®.

“While fishing on Stony Brook, Hector Fox and his friend find an old map hidden in a floating bottle. Hoping to find a secret treasure, the friends set off into the woods. When a gang of coyotes capture them, steal the map, lock them in a tunnel, it will take brains, bravery, and teamwork to escape and discover the true meaning of treasure.”
