Greetings!
Here we are, in the cold dark days of December and it's hard to believe another year has passed. This month at the Nevins library we will be finalizing our year of Remembrance of the Civil War with a special day to celebrate Christmas the way they did during the war. We will be decorating the library in Victorian style and on Dec.14 we invite you to come and share some refreshments with us in the Fireplace room and view the decorations.
As this year comes to a close, we here at the Nevins Memorial Library wish all of our patrons a very healthy and happy New Year and we hope to see you all often here at the library.
Happy Holidays, Nevins Memorial Staff |
