LEGO CLUB

Students, ages 6 and up, are invited to join us at the monthly LEGO CLUB, on the first Wednesday of each month from 3:30 to 4:30. We supply the space and the LEGOS. Kids just need to come with their friends, ideas, and imaginations.

 

Weaving a Christmas Bell

Decorate the season with these whimsical woven bells. Beginner and more experienced weavers over 18 years old are welcome. Bring your basket supplies with you: a bucket, scissors, old towel, awl, clothespins, pencil, measuring tape and packing tool, if you have them. The fee is $20 and includes supplies for two bells – one to be completed at home. Please stop by the library to register. Payment must be made at registration.

 

Winter Health with Bees and Herbs

Once again, Deb Gideon will share with us her knowledge and experience of healthy home remedies just in time for winter. There is Fire cider, Elderberry Elixir, Infused honeys and more! Join us to learn about herbs and honeybee products that can keep you healthy during the cold and flu season. Many herbs and bee products have been used by people around the world for thousands of years to boost the immune system. You’ll sample some delicious “medicine” and take home some recipes to make your own remedies. We ask those planning to attend to sign up at the library, call the library to register or email sally.holt@raymondvillagelibrary.org.

 

Basket Sale

Our popular gift baskets are now on sale at the library. These baskets are unique and perfect for teachers, as a hostess gift or for that special friend. When you plan your Christmas shopping be sure to come by the Raymond Village Library first. There is a wide variety of unusual baskets from which to choose. They will be available during regular library hours through December until they are all gone.

 

Annual Bake Sale

On Sunday, December 13 from 10am to 4pm the library will have tables filled with decorative cookies, delicious pastries, yummy pies, breads, candies and all kinds of scrumptious sweets presented in festive wrappings. These goodies will help you cut down on your holiday baking and make thoughtful gifts.

Our unique and reasonably priced Holiday Gift Baskets will be available for sale at this time as well.

Those who are donating items to the Bake Sale are asked to bring them to the library on Saturday, December 12, between 3 and 6pm. This enables those working on the sale to get them priced and arranged for the next day.

 

Make and Take Craft

After school on Wednesday, December 16 and on the third Wednesday of each month thereafter, there will be a Make and Take Craft fun time at the library for children. This is an easy to-do craft for children to create and take home with them. This is best for ages 5 through 8. For more information, call the library at 655-4283.

 

Lawyer at the Library

We are pleased to have Attorney Pongratz at the Raymond Village Library on the third Thursday of each month, to meet with people on a drop-in basis to answer legal questions and provide pro-bono advice. We hope our patrons will avail themselves of his expertise from 6 to7pm on Thursday, December 17.

 

Story Time Hours

 There will be no story times the weeks of December 23 and December 30. The children’s programs will resume on January 4, 2016 at 10:30. For more information call the library at 655-4283
