Fifteen
members of the Locke Lake Social Club met on the Colony golf course on
September 6th, to try their hand at “Monkey Golf.” Four teams had a
chance to work at making the lowest number of swings to get the ball in
the hole. Many laughs were heard, especially when the dandelion
blossoms were mistaken for the yellow golf ball. There was no need to
aerate the greens because now there are many ‘divots’ in the course.
WHIFFS galore along the many more laughs. The Monkey Golfer trophy was
given to the winning teams at the Pot Luck Supper, along with prizes
for each member.

Celebrate
Your Freedom to Read During Banned Books Week!
In support
of the right to choose books freely for ourselves, the ALA and Oscar
Foss Memorial Library are sponsoring Banned Books Week, September
21-27th, an annual celebration of our right to access books without
censorship. This year’s observance commemorates the most basic freedom
in a democratic society, the freedom to read freely, and encourages us
not to take this freedom for granted.
Since its
inception in 1982, Banned Books Week has reminded us that while not
every book is intended for every reader, each of us has the right to
decide for ourselves what to read, listen to or view. Oscar Foss
Memorial Library and thousands of libraries and bookstores across the
country will celebrate the freedom to read by participating in special
events, exhibits and read-outs that showcase books that have been banned
or threatened. Stop by the Oscar Foss Memorial Library and “check out”
our display of Banned Books.
The ALA,
the American Society of Journalists and Authors, the Association of
American Publishers, the American Booksellers Association, the American
Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, and the National Association
of College Stores sponsor Banned Books Week. The Library of Congress
Center for the Book endorses the observance. American libraries are the
cornerstones of our democracy. Libraries provide free access to a world
of information, bringing opportunity to everyone, everywhere. Now more
than ever, celebrate the freedom to read at your library and read an old
favorite or a new banned book during Banned Books Week!
Please call
the library (269-3900) or visit our website (oscarfoss.org) for more
information about these or any of our other programs or events. There is
always something happening at the Oscar Foss Memorial Library! Library
Hours are: Monday; 2pm-8pm, Tuesday & Wednesday; 10am-5pm, Thursday;
