September already! Back to school and back to regular hours for the Millarville Library. We look forward to seeing you all in the library and online as you order library materials through Marigold.
Our little library, run with the help of one energetic and enthusiastic part-time librarian (Natasha Grusendorf) and many equally energetic and enthusiastic volunteers, is looking for a bit of help. A decrease in grant money and an increase in insurance and utility costs has made a bit of a hole in our budget. We are certainly not in dire straits but in order to bring you the materials and services that you expect we are embarking on some fund-raising ventures.
Bottle Drive! A bottle trailer will be parked outside the school/library from September 7-9, so save all your bottles and cans and fill that trailer to bursting! We thank Square Butte Ranches for donating all their bottles collected in August and library volunteer Ada Morgan for her help with this project.
We will be offering our first workshop for the fall on September 10 at the library. We are privileged to have Paula Kroeker from the Sheep Creek Weavers facilitate Needle Felted Landscapes. Paula will guide you in creating landscape pictures together using beautiful shades of lovely soft wool. Kits will be provided at a reasonable cost for all the materials necessary, you need only bring your imagination. Paula is donating a portion of her fee to the library – thanks! For more information please check Facebook, Instagram or call the library at 403-931-3919. Class size will be limited to ten people so register as soon as possible.
All donations to the library will receive a tax receipt! There is a donation book in the library and at the store!
Once again our library ran a successful summer drop-in program for local kids. Everyone had lots of fun playing with airplane designs as well as doing crafts and science experiments. Thanks to our librarian Natasha Grusendorf and her two student assistants Hannah Mortimer and Chris Grusendorf!
As always check our Instagram and FB pages for more information including upcoming workshops in the months leading up to Christmas.
Welcome back to school and the library!
