Jennie's Christmas Mercantile Announcement

 I know this is an announcement that many have been waiting for.

2020 is the year, huh?

I was really hoping that we would be able to pull this off. I know how important the vendor fairs are for the vendors as well as shoppers. Over the last couple of years, the Christmas Mercantile has also become our biggest fundraiser for the library.

Unfortunately, we will not be doing the Christmas Mercantile this year. This decision is not an easy one. We, the Jennie Woodworth Library, believe that keeping the community healthy is of the most importance. Having a large crowd in a closed-in
space is risky when it comes to any illness. This is especially true with an illness like COVID-19 which is still being researched and studied on how best to treat it.

We encourage our vendors to post their contact information so that the community can still support them. Our small businesses are hurting this year. Support them as you are able.

JWL will be planning fundraisers to help support our programs here at our community founded and supported library.

Remember that you can support JWL any time of the year and we appreciate that.

As far as having the mercantile in the future? We will.

Kid's Take and Make for October

 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.

Make sure to keep an eye out for our November and December Take and Makes as well!

We may not be able to have on site programs, but we can have fun!

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.
