My LINKcat Accountt is hard to believe that we are a week past Thanksgiving already and have only just begun to creep into the month of December. While I enjoined the warm weather on Thanksgiving, and much prefer driving through rain rather than snow, it is difficult to get into the anticipatory mood for the big gift-giving holiday at the end of the month without a few snowflakes in the air and on the trees, and without mandatory window scraping of the car windows in the morning It does look like the weather is beginning to drift back towards more seasonal weather—so keep your scraper handy! We are in countdown mode for Santa’s visit at the library. The jolly gent will be at the library on Saturday, December 10th at 10 a.m. The Friends of the Library have a Holiday Books & More Sale in the Studio from now until year’s end. This is a great place to find a gift for a book-loving friend or family member. Below you will find some of the recent additions to the library’s collection. Enjoy!
