September Board Meeting

Author Anne Crowley will give a talk on her book “The Nightingale Sings” on Saturday, February 11 at 1 PM in the library’s Scott (basement) meeting room.  The book is the compelling true story of one woman’s courage, determination, and triumph over tragedy.

The 14th annual Library Quilt Raffle is under way.  This year’s raffle quilt, titled “Redwork Sue” is once again crafted by local artist Carol Bunnell.  The quilt is on display at the library, with tickets available at the Information Desk.  The drawing will be September 11, with proceeds benefitting the library’s children’s services.

We are delighted to announce that Amazon’s “Kindle” e-reader can now be used to read books downloaded from GFJ’s “Overdrive” service.  Click on the “Download Overdrive” icon at www.gfjlibrary.org and start reading.  The collection is growing at a rate of about 40 titles per month.

The September 2014 meeting of GFJ’s Board of Trustees has been rescheduled.  It will now be held Wednesday, Sept. 3 at 7 PM at the library.

The children’s room is now closed and will remain closed through at least Wednesday 4/29. At some times during the week of 4/27, there will be limited access to the front entrance to the library as well. Please remember that all book club meetings and story times will take place during this week. Thank you…

The new children’s room carpet has been installed! We are working to get everything back into place. The children’s room will reopen tomorrow, Thursday 4/30 at 9:00 AM. Access to some portions of the collection will still be limited. We appreciate your continued patience as we complete this project!
