We’re happy to see snow for school vacation week. As the storm continues on Monday, the Madison Library will be closed as our town’s road crews work hard to clear roads first, then parking lots like ours once the blizzard is done.
We have two children’s programs lined up for this week:
- Tuesday, Dec. 27 at 2 pm: Craft a great thank you: a workshop for children 6 and up. What goes into a good thank you note? Want to make some points with grandparents and other relatives? Hear a funny story that explains it all, then make your own note cards to take home so you can get started writing your thank yous.
- Friday, Dec. 31 at 10:30 am: For children 4 to 8 (older children who like to listen to stories are also welcome). Join us for some snowman stories, make a snowman finger puppet. If we have snow, we’ll go outside and make snow lanterns to light up tonight to welcome the new year.
If you got a nook e-reader for Christmas, Bobbi Slossar from the NH State Library has put together easy-to-follow slideshows on how to use your computer to get free e-books for your nook from the library. If you want to see the process in person, the Madison Library will hold a “Checking Out Library e-books” workshop on Tuesday, January 4 at 2pm.
IMPORTANT to know: you will need to put the digits “4393” ahead of your library card number to make a 7- or 8-digit library card number to use with NH Downloadable Books. See the NH Downloadable Books website for information on what other devices are compatible with library e-books.
We will close at 4 pm on Friday, December 31, and be closed on Saturday, January 1.
