March Trustees Meeting

The Sodus Free Library Board of Trustees will hold their next monthly meeting at 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 9th, in the Library's community meeting room. All Board meetings are open to the public.

From Books to Inspiration to Art

Here is the fun group of ladies who are painting rock houses with Shirley Patchett. If you'd like to join them, stop by the Library and pick up a list of the supplies you'll need. They're meeting again next Monday, March 6, at 10:30 a.m.

Encouraging Boys to Read

Click here to read an interesting article in the Miami Herald entitled "These Tips Might Make Your Son a Reader." If you leave out the gender-specific tips, these ideas also work with girls. Gift your children with the love of reading - it will last a lifetime!

Fun at the Library

We not only had fun listening to stories about trees, we learned many new and interesting things, were given acorns to plant (we hope our great-grandchildren enjoy the oak trees), and sanded and decorated beechnut tree rounds. Our thanks to Martha and Jim Miller, a great library team!

Today's Program

Remember to bring your Primary School-age children into the Library at 1 p.m. today for Martha Miller's "Once there was a tree ..." program.

We're closed today, but take some time to visit the Library of Congress and learn more about our Presidents. Click here to visit Mr. Lincoln's Virtual Library, and here for the George Washington Papers collection.

Sending Kisses

"Kisses" to all who helped with the Library's Third Annual Valentine Chocolate Sale. Thirty-five people donated chocolate goodies of all kinds, several members of the Friends of the Sodus Free Library set up, sliced and priced, and countless people shopped. At the end of the two days, we had made $501.90, more than double last year's total!

Library Closing

The Library will be closed Monday, February 20th, in honor of Presidents Day, and will reopen at noon on Tuesday, February 21st.

School Break Program

Are your children looking for something fun to do during February break? We're starting a monthly series of free children's programs which will feature enthusiastic readers from our community. The first program will be held at 1 p.m. on Thursday, February 23rd, and will be aimed at children of Primary School age. Martha Miller, President of the Library's Board of Trustees, has planned an hour of fun, stories, and activities with the theme "Once there was a tree ..." Registration is encouraged, but not required. Call or stop by the Library to reserve a spot for your children, or to find out how to volunteer to read for a future program.

Friends of the Sodus Free Library Meeting

The February meeting of our Friends group will be held in the Library's meeting room at 4 p.m. on Thursday, February 16th. Come join us!

A Reminder to Chocolate Lovers

The tables are filling for our 3rd Annual Valentine Chocolate Sale, and the smell is heavenly! So many goodies have already been donated, the sale has been moved into the Library's meeting room. I spotted Chocolate Lava brownies, chocolate chip cookies, a heart-shaped chocolate cake, chocolate rum balls, Que Sera Sarah brownies, and a variety of cookies in handmade paper baskets - I'm so glad I've been saving my pennies! Remember to stop by between noon and 8 p.m. on Thursday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday.
