Thank you to all who braved the snow to support Friends of Peacham Library at their annual High Holiday Tea.  Thank you, too, to all who donated items for the raffle, food for the table, and tea for the cup.  A good time was had by all.

December 13, 1pm, Herb Club – Brew a yummy pot of chaga chai and make herbal products such as salves, dream pillows, face and hand cream, tea blends, bath bombs and more.  Projects are not time consuming, so there is a potential for completing 2 or 3 projects.  RSVP (call the library at 592-3216) is required to ensure materials are available.  If you are interested in leading a project, please contact the library.

Holiday Adopt a Books are Here!  Looking for a unique present for that someone special?  Adopt a book at the library! Here’s how it works: Select a book from those available or suggest a book to the librarian.  After you pay the library for the book we’ll put a special adoption label in and check the book out to your special someone.  When the person has read the book, return it for others to enjoy – both the book and your generosity.  Books may be adopted for people, pets, entities, the library, almost anyone.
