Chichester Town Library News
The Red House by Mark Haddon is the subject of the newly formed book
club at the Library, which will be meeting on Thursday, October 9th
at noon. Participants have chosen to meet over lunch, bringing
sandwiches or their own lunch selections. The Library will provide
coffee and tea. Even if you didn’t come to the formation meeting,
you are still welcome to join the group. The Library also has a
couple of copies of the book, if a participant needs one.
The Library has hosted a pumpkin decorating contest to help beautify
the Chichester for the “Design Charrette” the Heritage commission is
hosting on October 17th & 18th. Winners for the 5 and under, 6-10
years of age and 11 years old and up are being selected today. The
three winners will receive a free ticket to Chucksters! We
congratulate and thank all who participated!
The proceeds from the book sales and raffles have enabled the
Library to purchase two new computers for the public to use. One is
a Chrome Box and the other is a laptop that will have Microsoft
Office and will be connected to the printer. Thanks to all who have
participated in any way to help accomplish this.
There will be a very special raffle starting in October. One of the
highly sought after American Girl dolls, Samantha Parkington, has
been donated just in time for those seeking a very special holiday
gift. Samantha, fashioned around a girl in 1904, “never met a tree
I couldn’t climb, a rule I couldn’t ruffle, or a friend I couldn’t
help. I’m all heart and always ready to lend a hand to somebody in
need,” according to the website. Included in the raffle are some
Samantha-related books and outfits. The winner of the raffle will
be selected at a “Samantha Winter Party,” after one of the books.
Holiday cookies and camaraderie will abound!
Sometime in the near future, there will be a much-needed new front
door for the Library, thanks to the generosity of those who recently
donated to the memory of Tina Mobbs. Also, thanks to her family who
generously give of their time and efforts to the Library.
ATTENTION CRAFTERS: Chichester Town Library is inviting crafters to
an exploratory gathering to determine if a group would be interested
in meeting. Please come on Tuesday, October 21st at 11 o’clock to
give your input and decide on a convenient future meeting time.
Bring a current project, if you like. The library will provide
refreshments.
