Adopt-A-Book

If you’re looking for a unique way to show your Christmas spirit, consider giving a gift that can be opened again and again.  This Christmas season the Library will give patrons a chance to “adopt” a book. Patrons choose a book from the available selection (on display at the library), and purchase it on behalf of the Library. A book plate with the patron’s name (or name of their choice) is placed in the book, and after it has been processed adopters can take the book home for the first read.  We hope that this program will allow the Library to increase its collection with the help of our patrons. Tax receipts will be issued.

Food for Fines

Get rid of overdue fines and help out a good cause at the same time!

The library will be accepting canned and nonperishable food items November 16th-December 14th.  Patrons with fines for overdue materials may have their fines erased by donating nonperishable food items.  For each item donated, the library will deduct $1 from fines.

All donations received will be given to the Food Pantry for the Christmas Food Boxes which are distributed to community members who are in need.

 

Chico Concert and True Blood

Saw Jace Everett at Chico Women’s Club last night (opened for the Duhks), and very much enjoyed his performance, especially of “Bad Things” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSSjYFPTRAQ) the theme song for the HBO hit True Blood.  Everett’s music has been described as “powerful, evocative, pure rock country” and he definitely lived up to it.                                                                                                                                                                    

So, are you asking yourself …what does this have to do with the library?!?!

Well,  True Blood is based on the Southern Vampire series by Charlaine Harris about Sookie Stackhouse a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana whose life becomes a whole lot more interesting (and dangerous) when she falls in love with a vampire.  I resisted reading these books for quite a while despite how great everybody kept saying they were, the overabundance of vampires in popular literature right now had me burned out, but I’m glad I finally gave in and read them- they are the perfect blend of creepy, funny mysteries.  Interested?  Check them out at the library.  Already read them?  Let us know what you think, leave a comment. ~ Jody
