We will continue to have a “knit-in” group at the library. People can come in every Friday (2PM) and work on their knit or crochet projects and get help or encouragement or just have someone to chat with while they work. The group can work on individual projects, but should also do some projects for charity.

We have over 60 hats to send to the neonatal intensive care unit at Fletcher Allen Hospital in Burlington. We will work on a group afghan for the Haynes House beginning in January.

All knitters or crocheters welcome and donations of yarns or materials cheerfully accepted!

Please contact us at the library if you have any questions.

Lucy had a great Halloween. She’s looking forward to her party next Saturday.

In celebration of her third birthday, the Rutland Animal Shelter will be here. There may be some kittens here who are waiting to be adopted and at least one puppy looking for a home.

In lieu of gifts, please bring donations for the shelter:

• dry cat food
• towels
• blankets
• cats toys
• love

We will also accept cash donations to buy kitty litter and  nutritious food  for Lucy.

Join Us at the Pember  Library for a DROP‐IN INFO. SESSION

New York Reads…New York Works

First Place in the “Anything but Pie apple dessert contest” went to Robyn Lipshutz with her Apple Caramel Bars. Judi Brown’s Jewish Apple Cake was the second place winner with Theresa Loomis’ “On a whim!” sauteed apples  and Tamika Carty’s Gala Concord cookies tied for third.
Sixteen entries, six incredible judges, a cool emcee, and four great prizes made the Pember Library’s first annual “Anything But Pie” contest a success!

Join us at the Pember Library at when Ray Gaylord will lead a discussion about the history of Granville.

Ray plans to start by telling us about the Native Americans who lived in the area. We’ll talk about the Revolutionary War era and the settlers who came here then and why they chose this area. During the mid-nineteenth century, many people moved here to work in the slate quarries.

Copies of some of the photographs from the Morris Rote-Rosen collection will be on display and the quilt from the Village Hall will be on view.

We will welcome questions and appreciate any facts that audience members may want to share.
