It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas/Hanukkah and the time of winter solstice at the Eastham Library. Deb Abbot and Judy Sebastian from the Friends of the Library created the holiday tree above from books from the Friends Booksale. You might want to try this at home!
We have been very busy this past month updating the Library's Building Program for our new architects. The Building program submitted with our grant proposal was based on data from 2004, and we have added quite a few books and other media to our collection since then. This also gives the Board an opportunity to look again, with fresh eyes at the decisions that were made about what will be in Eastham's new library.
I had an opportunity to attend this month's Chamber of commerce meeting, show some slides of the current conditions in the library and some examples of the new ideas we'd like to include in the new library like a 125 person meeting room for our popular library programs, and displays by local artists and artisans, and better outdoor seating for those who use our wifi when the library isn't open. Time for me to prepare for our community carol sing on Saturday, December 15 at 2pm. Meeting room or not, we still hold programs between the adult stacks
Here's hoping the Holiday season brings us all peace, hope, and the pleasures of friends and family, Cheryl Bryan
