2025 Festival of Wreaths

Get into the holiday spirit and let your creativity shine! Join us for the the return of our Festival of Wreaths, where community members and businesses are welcome to craft one-of-a-kind wreaths to deck the halls of the Pember Library. All are welcome to participate in this festive holiday tradition. Each wreath will be on display for all to enjoy — and up for bidding through December 5!
Come admire the creativity, place your bids, and support the library in this community tradition. The Pember Library will be open for the evening of December 5th for the Granville Annual Tree Lighting, and winners will be announced in the days following.
Wreath drop-off begins November 18 and ends December 3. Stop by the Pember Library desk to pick up a registration form & to learn more.
Pember Wish List
Throughout December, we had a Wish List in the library and posted online.
We got many donations for childrens’ books and movies, and a couple of audio books. We truly appreciate the generosity of all the people who are helping us to add to our collection.
I want everyone to know that we were totally blown away by a lovely letter stating that dreams do come true and enclosing a check for $250 to help us replace the storm door at our handicap entrance.
THANK you.
Library Closed Today
The library will be closed today due to the bad weather. We apologize for any inconvenience.
