Now for the somewhat traditional holiday poem to the tune of “Let it Snow”.

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful.
And since we’ve no place to be,
Let us read, let us read, let us read!

It doesn’t show signs of stopping.
And I brought some corn for popping.
The lights are turned up to see,
Let us read, let us read, let us read!

When we finally say goodnight
How we’ll hate getting out in the storm.
But it you’ll really hold me tight,
All the way home we’ll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And my dear, we’re still good-bye-ing.
But as long as you still love me,
Let us read, let us read, let us read!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Annual Gingerbread House Family Night last week. The stories were entertaining as always. And the gingerbread houses – oh my goodness – they were fantastic. We have some extremely talented engineers/construction crew here in town. We are looking forward to next year already.

One very important announcement – the Elma Ross Public Library will be closed on Thursday, December 12th so that all library staff may attend a regional library training workshop. We do sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

The library will also be closed Tuesday, December 24th through Thursday, December 26th in observance of the Christmas holidays.

We are planning our library calendar. If there are any programs/events that you would like to see the library offer, please let us now. We continue to offer monthly Basic Skills Computer classes and bi-weekly Toddler Time programs. We would like to offer more programming for children, teens, and adults – we need your input.

Happy Reading!

The Annual Gingerbread House Family Night is almost here. This annual tradition takes place on the first Friday of December (December 6th) at 7pm. We read the stories of “The Gingerbread Baby” and “Gingerbread Friends”, then we make gingerbread houses from milk cartons, frosting, graham crackers, and candy. We have such a wonderful time offering this program each year. Reservations are required as our space is limited. Please call the library at 772-9534 to make your reservations today. Woo hoo for Gingerbread House Family Night!
