Next Book Club Choice

The next title our book club will be reading is The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti, chosen because it is this year's Writers & Books If All of Rochester Read the Same Book. The discussion will be held at noon on Thursday, March 24th. I hope you plan on joining us.

Movie At 3!

Can I take back that last post? Valeri just texted me that she's working on hooking up the projector, so cross your fingers and come in at 3 for popcorn and a movie. Thank you, Valeri :)

Today's Movie Is Postponed

I am disappointed, as I'm sure you will be, that today's movie is going to be postponed. We will be rescheduling the showing soon. Thank you for your patience as we deal with some health issues. We will return to regular hours and activities as soon as possible.

Due to staff illness, the library will open at noon on Tuesday, February 22, and Wednesday, February 23. I apologize for the inconvenience to our patrons.

We always have a good discussion and would love to have you join us!

Valentine Chocolate Sale

It's almost time for our Friends' annual Yes - It's Chocolate! Sale. We have all the best candy makers plus cookie, cake, and pie bakers signed up, so you definitely want to make time to visit the Library next week. Although chocolate is the word of the day, I've heard there's a cherry pie being planned, plus several other non-chocolate goodies. Sale hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Thursday, February 10th, and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Friday, February 11th.

Closed on Wednesday

The Sodus Community Library will be closed Wednesday, February 2nd, due to unsafe conditions caused by the winter storm. If you have something due on Wednesday, we will add an extra day to your check-out time; please do not get out to return items until the roads are safe to travel. You can, of course, always access your OWWL account to renew your materials or leave a message on our answering machine, if you prefer.

Time For A Movie

Monday, January 31st, is a Conference Day, so plan on joining us for another School's Out Movie Day. We'll have the popcorn popped and start the showing at 3 p.m.

Note to parents: this movie is rated PG

Book Club Meets

Join us at noon next Thursday, January 27th, for a discussion of The Three Weissmanns of Westport by Cathleen Schine. If you haven't read it, you still have time, or just come for a fun discussion and to help us decide on the next title to read. I hope to see you there!
