Another Successful Sale

Our Friends group met yesterday and it was announced that they sold $522.40 at their Holiday Bake Sale, another all-time record! Thanks to Shirley Patchett and her wonderful crew of bakers, wrappers, and sellers. Thanks, too, for all the buyers who braved the snow to come out and support the Friends. We're grateful to all of you.

Holiday Closing

The Library will be closed Friday, December 24th, through Sunday, December 26th, for the Christmas holiday. We will reopen at 10 a.m. on Monday, December 27th. While we're closed, you'll still be able to access your OWWL account to renew materials and place holds. OWWL2go is also always available for downloading audiobooks and ebooks.

We're Open Today

We're open today, hopefully from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. Be aware through these winter months that if the Sodus Central School District is closed due to blizzard conditions, we are also closed. When conditions worsen during a day we're open and the roads become unsafe, we may occasionally close early, for your safety and ours. This happens only rarely. Anytime that you're uncertain about whether or not we're open, just give us a call (483-9292) before you head out to the Library.

Closed Today

The Library will be closed today, December 14th, due to the winter storm. It's too dangerous for you or for us to be out there on the roads, so please stay in where it's safe and warm. No fines will be assessed today, but if you would like to renew anything that you have checked out, you may do so by leaving a message on our phone (483-9292) or by accessing your OWWL account online. If the weather improves, we will reopen at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning.

Library Board Meets Thursday

The Sodus Community Library Board of Trustees will meet at 4:15 p.m. this Thursday, December 9th. Board meetings are held the second Thursday of each month, and are open to the public.

Because the Friends Bake Sale will be underway in our meeting room, this month's meeting will be held in the Ruth Mills Room.

Bake Sale Coming Soon!

Our Friends are busy gathering ingredients for their favorite recipes, and getting ready to bake all kinds of treats for you to purchase for the holidays. The Bake Sale will be held in the Library's meeting room next Thursday and Friday, December 9th and 10th. Here's a picture of just one of the sale tables from last year's sale. Mmmm - I am ready to shop :)

Book Bag Experiment

Making book bags (virtual, not fabric!) is one of the capabilities of our new Evergreen software.

Click here to connect to my book bag of DVDs that we've added to our collection this month. If you see something you'd like to watch, just follow the links to place a hold. You may also call us and we'll place it for you. Enjoy!

Thanksgiving Holiday Closing

The Library will close at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, November 24th, and remain closed Thursday and Friday, November 25th and 26th. We will reopen at 10 a.m. on Saturday, November 27th.

Book Sale A Success

Our Friends took in a total of $2,072.77 at last week's book sale - the most ever! Thanks to Shirley Patchett and her wonderful crew for doing such a fantastic job. We had several people come into the library to tell us how well organized the rooms of books were. Thanks to all involved :)
