Pember Library

Due to snow and poor road conditions, the Pember Library and Museum will be closed today.

Reading with Carol and Holly will give early experience with books to children ages newborn to about 5.

Children of all ages are welcome to join our Lego Club. We will meet every Friday afternoon. We have a small Lego table and several thousand Lego pieces. Lego lovers can “free build” — put blocks together any way you want. We always have a challenge also if anyone wants to try to build specific items (Build a Christmas Tree, Build a Snowman, etc).

Beginner and experienced knitters and crocheters are encouraged to meet at the library between 3:00 and 4:30 PM on Wednesdays to teach each other and to learn from each other. The library will provide space for crafters to meet and to socialize while working on their yarn projects. The library will have a limited amount of yarn, crochet hooks, and knitting needles for people to try the crafts before they invest money in needed equipment. Basic stitches will be taught and more advanced techniques can be researched through books and online resources. Please call the library for additional information.

We’ll be discussing John Grisham’s “Skipping Christmas” and putting together our own Christmas non-celebration. Menu sign-up will be available by November 15. Several copies of the book are available.

The Pember Library and Museum in Granville, NY is pleased to announce our fourth annual “Festival of Wreaths”.

The Pember will once again offer creative-minded individuals in our community an opportunity to make a personal or business-themed holiday wreath that will hang on the walls of the Pember.

Please register by November 30.

The fourth annual Festival of Wreaths will run concurrently with the Slate Valley’s Festival of Trees.

The Pember’s November First Friday Event, November 3rd, will be in honor of our veterans. In the Main Area of the library we will be displaying various forms of art created by veterans, in the Children’s Room we will be showing Ken Burns’ film “The Vietnam War”, and we will also have music from various war eras.

Some of the veterans whose artwork will be on display are Lee NIchols, US Navy, George Henry, US Army, Robert Dienst, US Army, Daniel C Krueger, US Marines, Phil Webster, US Air Force.

Additonal artwork is expected. We are currently in search of any and all “artistic” veterans who would like to have their art showcased for a period of two weeks. Please contact Kris at the Pember if you have artwork to display.

Additional items will be on display loaned to us by VFW Post 1653.
