Do you consider yourself a science fiction aficionado?  Would you like to discuss some of your favorite titles with fellow sci-fi readers?  Northwest is looking to start up a sci-fi book club but we desperately need active participants.  If you are interested or know someone who might be, please let us know.  As always, if you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to share them with us.  We hope to see you in the not-too-distant future!

Want to help us decorate for the holidays?  Bring in your holiday or winter themed artwork and we will put it on display for all to see and admire.  Create an intricate paper snowflake or a construction paper snowman like the one behind our front desk.  You can also find many holiday themed craft ideas near 745.594 in the non-fiction area.  Worried about your creative skills?  Fret not!  Throughout December, we will have various coloring pages for our patrons to scribble on.

Christmas is just around the corner and it's that time of year again when Toys for Tots reminds us that Christmas is a time for peace, joy, and happiness. This is your chance to make a child happy by donating a Christmas gift to a child in need. Toys for Tots, which is brought to you by U. S. Marine Corps Reserve, runs from Monday November 26th - Friday December 14th. If you are in the spirit for giving, drop by our library and donate an unwrapped gift for a boy or a girl. If you would like to learn more about this organization visit www.toysfortots.org. There is nothing greater than putting a smile on someone else's face. Help spread the love this year and make a donation. It will be greatly appreciated.

 

Discover Panama

Submitted by Jason V on Wed, 10/10/2012 - 10:22am

Did you notice how quickly the display case changed?  During October and November we are spotlighting Panama.  On November 17th at 2:00 pm, we will have a special guest here to discuss the life and cultural traditions of the Panamanian peoples.  If you don't know much about Panama then I invite you to come and discover what the beautiful South American county has to offer.  Also, be on the lookout for a Panamanian children's art exhibit which will be featured on the book drop windows.
