Programs & News

for December!

The month of December holds some fun activities at the Wadleigh Library. We have two raffles going on right now the first is for a Chocolate Lovers Basket sponsored by the Children's Room. The second is a Friends of the Library Membership raffle which has been extended until December 15th. Become a friend of the library and maybe you will take home a Barnes and Noble Nook.

With the holidays upon us, the Children's Room has planned a special, Free, Family Holiday Music Program featuring Steve Blunt. They also have some great children's programs lined up, like make your own gingerbread house, music with Miss Krishna, Make and Take Crafts, bingo, a pajama party and the annual Holly Jolly Dance for toddlers and preschoolers.

In addition to the monthly Animanga Club and two Young Adult book clubs, the Teen programs include Wii Wednesdays and Henna Picture Frames that would make good gifts for the holidays.

This month's Spotlight on Technology focuses on our Online Catalog and a little known feature that allows you to save your favorite searches. Let the catalog send you mail when new books on your favorite topics come in. All the instructions to do this can be found in this newsletter. Have Fun!!

Our Computer Basics programs are available for sign up on Mondays, so check out the calendar and set the date best for you.
