Pember Library

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.

Our computer classes for seniors have filled up quickly. If you still want to take a class with Barb, call us at the library or send an email. We will put you on a waiting list. We are trying to come up with new ideas for funding and would like to be able to do the classes more often than we have been able to schedule them.

I got this photo of Lucy this morning waiting for computer classes to begin.

“Barb said something about teaching us how to use the mouse…that’s one of my specialties!”

The Pember will not open today due to the forecast of imminent bad weather. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Fines will be waived for any items that become overdue because of the closing.

Lucy has plenty of food and water so no one should worry about her.

I plan to do some library work from home, finish up a couple of gifts I’m making and maybe do a little cooking. I may even put on our DVD of “It’s a Wonderful Life” and make some popcorn.

Lucy has been at the library for over a month now. She has done her job well: to act charming and make the library a welcoming and homey place.

We will be placing a jar at the counter for people to make contributions toward Lucy’s upkeep. Thank you

Our theme this week will be cats.
