A Victorian Holiday

If you've been to the library in the past week, you've seen the variety of gift baskets on display. These baskets have been donated by people and businesses in our community for...the Holiday Marketplace!



That's right, the Holiday Marketplace is just around the corner - Saturday, November 12, from 10am - 4pm. This will be its third year at our library, and it's going to be bigger than ever!

I worked on the day of the last Holiday Marketplace, and I'm telling you, it's worth checking out. The whole library has a different look, a festive atmosphere. Vendors selling all kinds of gift items are set up throughout the library. After you browse and shop, you can get your items gift-wrapped. Then, stop by the bake sale run by the Teen Leadership Committee. And of course, winners will be drawn for the gift baskets!



The 2011 theme is A Victorian Holiday. The day will include readings from holiday classics, live music from 1-3pm, and new this year, a "Mini-Marketplace" for young shoppers!

This day is not to be missed. Not only will you be able to do some fun holiday shopping, you will support your library. This event raises money for the library, so it can keep providing quality programming and new materials. Show your love for the library on this special day.



Next time you're in, pick up some raffle tickets! 2 for $1, 12 for $5, and 25 for $10. Here at the front desk you'll see the lottery ticket tree - just one of the baskets! And the Teen Leadership Committee is selling Gertrude Hawk candy bars for $1. Stop in, take a look, and say hello!
