Dear NWPL Patrons, the seasons haven't quite lined up with the calendar but the fall produce and the prospect of a bountiful Thanksgiving table are still a positive part of that alignment. Whether you are having a Thanksgiving for one or two, or a larger gathering, we wish you much joy and contentment.
If you haven't yet checked out Kanopy, the streaming entertainment service, now free to NWPL library cardholders, signup is easy. The holiday weekend is a perfect pairing for starting off with some of your five free monthly movies!
And for all you parents and kids out there, Story Time is back! Our children's librarians recommend calling or emailing the day before so we can anticipate whose coming.
Children and adults can take advantage of Curbside Pickup by emailing or calling us and we'll get those books bagged up for pickup in the Foyer
Every once in a while it's time to actually feel grateful, be grateful, and Thanksgiving is that time with whipped cream on top! See you on the other side of the empty pie plate.

Next WOYNS: Tuesday, December 14
This is NOT the usual book club. We chat about books you are reading, the books you've loved, and the books you've always wanted to read. Along with great book recommendations, our discussions have ranged from the design and appeal of book jackets, the e-book revolution, which books we reread and why, modern writers, the craft of writing, and the elements of great writing. We all come away energized and eager for more. Contact: Kathy Beaird at NWPL to join the next meeting.
