It's April, and one of the best months around here, because National Library Week is April 7-13. We are delighted to kick off the festivities by offering our patrons a special treat: a fine-free week. Normally every Friday is fine-free, this is an entire week to return any late book you may have been holding onto.
During that week, we encourage you to express your affection for the library by dropping in and filling out an "I Love My Library" card. We're hoping to cover our front desk with hearts!
With blossoms blooming all around us, be sure to grab a great book to enjoy out in the open air and sunshine. On the topic of sunshine, we will be hosting a partial eclipse watching event on April 8th. Local families can enjoy this natural phenomenon safely and with their community. We will be providing viewing devices for everyone to share this celestial marvel, along with a craft, and basic science about the eclipse.
This month, nature's wonder extend indoors as well, as our Commons Room proudly showcases the captivating artwork of local talent Dana Wyatt. Her exhibit, entitled "Field Studies," features watercolor illustrations of the natural world and animals found locally along the Potomac river and beyond. Remember, a 30% portion of artwork sales directly supports the library, a gesture we deeply appreciate.
Warm regards,
