Another “Make and Take Card Class”, taught by Donna Newhaus, will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 4. Held monthly, this is a popular class where participants have fun learning how to design and create their own custom greeting cards, plus they get to take home all the cards they make. Class openings are still available, but you must pre-register at the front desk. A $7 class fee is due when you sign up.
The NWPL will delay opening until 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 5. This will enable the NWPL staff to attend staff training. Professional staff development and keeping abreast of the current trends in library science is what makes NWPL one of the best “small town” libraries around.
