In November our adult ‘fireside’ book display theme was “Have you read a Pulitzer Prize Winner?”. There was\u00a0a good amount of interest in the brief biography of Joseph Pulitzer that was put together by staff. The first batch of books out for display were\u00a0gigantic tomes and may have scared some readers. After\u00a0replacing them with more manageable reads, nine\u00a0items were checked out.<\/p>\n

We had very successful Kid’s Club<\/strong> programs this month. For the craft program we made collage magnets. The Minecraft program attracted many more children this month, probably due to our visit to Sandy Grade School the previous day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On 11\/20 as part of our Welcoming Winter<\/strong> program series we hosted a snowflake design program at the Hoodland Library and an edible garland making workshop at the Sandy Library to create attractive and yummy garlands for our furry and feathered friends.\"snowflake\"<\/p>\n

Day of the Dead celebration<\/p><\/div>\n

The\u00a0Library Coffee House<\/strong> on 11\/7 continued\u00a0with excellent attendance although Main Street has finished it’s First Friday Programs for the season. \u00a0The Library plans to continue having our Coffee House every first Friday year round. November’s event focused on Mexican cultural activities, with traditional Zapotecan weaving by Francisco Bautista and a Day of the Dead program presented by Musical Duo Nuestro Canto. \u00a0Tamales and Pan Dulce were enjoyed by all, and kids made Day of the Dead masks.<\/p>\n

The Sandy Library has been hosting free yoga classes<\/strong> with Nyssa Castle – The Naturalist Yogi. \u00a0The classes have had nearly full attendance every week. \u00a0Classes ran November 4 – December 16th.<\/p>\n

Monica Smith, Children’s Librarian at Sandy Grade School<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

On November 11\/21 Katie Murphy and Monica Smith made our first monthly visit to Sandy Grade School<\/strong>. \u00a0 Monica and Katie talked about the library’s monthly visit to bring and booktalk new fiction. \u00a0Each student in the school took home library card applications for parent permission and can begin checking out books on our next visit.\u00a0<\/span>

The TAB (Teen Advisory Board)<\/strong> met on 11\/7 to get organized and set priorities. \u00a0 \u00a0 Fourteen teens attended the meeting on the 7th, and set up a regular meeting schedule.\u00a0The group made the decision to meet twice a month with the outcome of a monthly program beginning in January. On 11\/12, as part of the new regular meeting schedule, the teens began planning January’s game night, which will include Wii games in the Community Room, Board games in the fireplace room, and a mini-golf course throughout the library. \u00a0The mini-golf holes will be designed and constructed by the TAB members. \u00a0The teens will also work on both flier and video advertisements for their programs, which we hope to post in area schools, as well as electronically.<\/p>\n

Community<\/strong><\/p>\n

On 11\/4, Librarians from Sandy Library toured the Sandy High School. \u00a0We met with the principal and media specialists to look into how we might work together more closely to meet the student needs.<\/p>\n

Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n

On 11\/1 and 11\/2 Staff and volunteers came in during closed\u00a0hours to update\u00a0all\u00a0Public Computers at the Sandy Library to bring them onto current operating systems, and improve Internet service.<\/p>\n
