Dear Library Member,
 
The majority of the re-carpeting project has been completed in the public areas of the Library.  I'd like to thank you so much for your patience during this process.  We're sure you'll agree that the results are well worth the temporary inconveniences.

Our Maker Monday programs this month will feature Crafting with Peeps to celebrate the coming of spring. Kids ages 5-8 are invited to create a work of art using the popular candy on Monday, March 7th at 7pm. Space is limited, so please register here.
 
On Tuesday, March 8th at 7pm we'll have a Duct Tape Creations craft for tweens in grades 4-6. Come make something pretty (like a flower) or useful (like a wallet) using the ever-practical, multi-functional duct tape!

Friday Flicks: See Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance in his Academy Award-winning performance in Bridge of Spies on Friday, March 11th at 1:30pm. In this historical drama set during the Cold War, a Brooklyn attorney (Hanks) must negotiate a prisoner exchange between an American pilot who was shot down over the USSR and a Soviet spy (Rylance) serving a 45-year sentence for espionage against the U.S. The film is rated PG-13.
 
And last, but certainly not least, our Second Saturday concert series continues on Saturday, March 12th at 2:30pm with a performance by the Nina Et cetera Band. In honor of Women's History month, the band will perform a tribute to Country music's great Maybelle Carter, a member of the original Carter Family -- one of the first commercial rural country music groups. Maybelle, who played autoharp and banjo as well as being the group's guitarist, created a unique sound for the group with her innovative 'scratch' style of guitar playing. She was a popular figure in the Grand Ole Opry community of the early 1950s, and was commonly known as "Mother Maybelle" -- a matriarchal figure in country music circles. Join us for an engaging afternoon of folk/rock/country music.
 
Have a spectacular week.  See you in the Library!
 
Regards,
Nancy Cohen, Library Director
