December 2, 2007:
The annual meeting and holiday party is scheduled for Sunday, December 2, at 2:00 pm. This year we will be enjoying the music of perennial favorites The Carolines, an FOL tradition, as well as the music of Men Macon Music. You will remember them from our annual meeting in July. We’re forgoing a speaker this year in favor of music, music, and more music. The meeting/party will be held in the living room at the new library. We promise to keep the business part of the meeting short and sweet, so we can have more time to enjoy fellowship between the members, and let’s not forget the sweets on the dessert table. We look forward to seeing all of our Friends there.

January 31 – February 2, 2008:
The annual Friends of the Library Bookstore book sale extravaganza.  January 31st is a preview evening for Friends members only, and the book sale will be open to the general public on February 1st and 2nd. You’ve all been very generous in your book donations this year, and Margaret would like everyone to know she’s got boxes and boxes of terrific books that will be out there on the tables this year. February is historically our coldest month, so this is a good opportunity to stock up on great reads for those cold winter nights.
 



Books ~ The Perfect Gift

Books ~ The Perfect Gift

The holidays are upon us, and nothing makes a better gift than a seasonal book. At my house, we celebrate Christmas, and I have a large collection of books about that particular holiday. Part of our Christmas tradition is to sit down on Christmas Eve and read some of our favorite Christmas stories. If you are looking for some terrific Christmas books to give as gifts, here are some of my favorites:

For young children:

  • The Last Straw by Fredrick H. Thury
  • A Wish to be a Christmas Tree by Colleen Monroe
  • The Legend of the Candy Cane by Lori Walburg
  • Auntie Claus by Elise Primavera

For older children:

  • Santa: My Life & Times by Martin I. Green
  • Christy: Christmastime at Cutter Gap by Nancy LeSourd
  • The Legend of Holly Claus by Brittney Ryan

My favorite adult Christmas read:

Skipping Christmas by John Grisham
(makes me laugh out loud every year)

No matter what holiday you celebrate at your house, books are the perfect gift.

Julie
