Falling in to autumn

 We have wrapped up September and jumping into October. This year is going by amazingly fast and extremely slow at the same time. What is important is that our library is here for our community and we love seeing our patrons.

For the month of September, we have had 199 people visit our library. We have welcomed 16 new patrons. This makes us excited! We love to share our resources here at the Jennie Woodworth Library.

Our circulation in September was good:

• 181 Books
• 3 Audio Books
  
• 18 DVDs
• And the computers were used 38 times.

We are moving along! BTW! If you need to update your existing library card information, you can check out the link in the side bar under Patron Information (Or click here)

October is read a book month!

Now that you have your library card (if you haven't, come on in and we will get you hooked up), it's time to read! Especially with fall break upon us.

COVID-19 

As part of the Town of White Bluff, we are abiding by the requirements that have been declared. You can see the full disclosure at COVID-19 effective immediately. Face coverings are required. Materials are in quarantine for 72 hours once they are returned.

Fall Activities

We have several things coming up. Coming up on Thursday is our October Take and Make for the kids. The juvenile has to be present and a library card holder. ALSO during the month of October we are holding a costume contest for the kids, birth - 18. 

The information for the Costume Contest can be found HERE

The Kid's Make and Take 

On Thursday, October 8th from 11-5, we will have a limited supply of our October Kids Craft. These are first come, first serve. Your child must be present and have their library card to receive one. 

The Rules:

1. Must be a card holding member in good standing.
2. Only one craft per person. The child must be present with their library card.
3. Understand that we have a limited supply and once they are gone, they are gone.

The Opportunity:

• We would love for businesses or individuals to sponsor a month.
• Or hope is to have a teen craft and a kids craft available monthly.
• These craft kits are take and make. They are simple crafts.
• We would love to include crafts for our older population as well. 

This opportunity is available because the community has always supported our library through volunteerism and donations.
