Holiday Closing

The Sodus Free Library will be closed December 24th, 25th, and 26th, plus December 31st and January 1st. Everyone here at the Library wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

PJ Storytime

Is Winter really the warmest season? How did Santa get his job? Put on your pajamas, and join us at our first Christmas PJ Storytime this Wednesday, December 19, from 7-7:30 p.m. We'll "light" the fireplace and answer those questions. Children of all ages are welcome.

Library Closed Monday

Because the Sodus Central Schools are closed today due to hazardous road conditions, we are also closed. Bundle up before you go out to shovel, and don't worry about your library materials. Everything that was due today, is now due tomorrow. If you do have to travel in the area, click here for resources on road conditions, etc.

Library Closing

Due to unsafe conditions on the roads, the Sodus Free Library will NOT be open today from 2-4 p.m. With all the weathermen predicting several more inches of blowing snow and blizzard conditions, I suggest you stay inside, brew up something hot, and curl up in a comfy chair to read a good book (or, like me, finally get around to decorating your Christmas tree!).

Don't worry about any overdues. No fines will be placed on any materials due today.

A decision concerning Monday's hours will be made Monday morning. Remember - if the Sodus Central School District closes, we are also closed. I hope to see you in the Library soon!

Favorite Things

Christmas cookies, fudge, cupcakes, pie, thumbprint cookies - these are a few of my favorite things. And there are still plenty of these goodies to choose from at our Friends Bake Sale. Friday's hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. - make time to stop by the Library to pick up a few of your favorite things.

December Board Meeting

The December meeting of the Sodus Free Library Board of Trustees will be held at 4 p.m. this Thursday, December 13th. Board meetings are open to the public.

Coming Soon

Shhhh. OWWL2go is coming soon!

Hint: You may want to "Gear up for the New Year" by asking Santa for an MP3 player so that you will be able to take advantage of this exciting new service. When you ask, remind him - in case he's forgotten - that OWWL2go will be compatible with all players except Apple iPods and Microsoft Zunes, and will also work with PCs but not MACs.

Check back soon for more information.

Upcoming Friends Sale

Busy cleaning, shopping, and decorating for the holidays? Let the Friends of the Sodus Free Library help relieve some of your stress. They'll be holding their annual Holiday Bake Sale from noon until 8 p.m. on Thursday, December 13th, and from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Friday, December 14th. All kinds of delicious holiday goodies will be available: cakes, pies, muffins, cookies, breads, coffee cakes, candy, etc. Everything will be wrapped and ready to give as gifts, or to use as a treat for you and your family. See you there!

Winter Closings

"Oh, the weather outside is frightful ..." Well, not yet, but it might be soon! Remember that when the Sodus Central School District closes schools due to stormy weather and/or slippery roads, the Sodus Free Library is also closed. If you have any doubt about whether or not we're open, just call us at 483-9292 before you head out into the ice and snow. (But mainly, just keep hoping for a mild winter!)

Holiday Closing

The Library will be closing at 5 p.m. Wednesday, November 21st, and will remain closed through Friday, November 23rd. We will reopen at 10 a.m. Saturday, November 24th. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your families.

Wow!

This year's book sale brought in a bit over $1,200! Thanks to head lady Shirley Patchett and all her wonderful volunteers for their hours and hours of work. Your dedication is truly appreciated.
